KENT OF EXPRESSION Wednesday -evening, April 8, at 8 o'clock the Dramatic Club, Miss Mary Love Bablngton, Director, presented the second series of three one act plays in the College Assembly rooms. The well balanced programme be gan with a dainty, playful selection "Lady Betty's Burglar," In which Miss Bettie Mobn starred as a young thing of a scant number of summers whose daring lover finds himself In strange contact with a more daring burglar as each contend for the fair lady's fa vor, or kiss. The parts of lover and burglar were so well played by Miss es Rountree and Webb that many In the audience must have suspected it a study from real life. In Irving Dale's "Souvenir Spoons," a one act comedy, an all' star cast Misses Lewis, Burt Watkins, and Respress, worked out a difficult situ ation in a small reception room of fashionable hotel. Miss Lewis as Walter Varnell, a prosperous young business man, was astounded to find his wife and his sister victims of the souvenir mania; one had purloined from the hotel table a finger bowl, the. other had taken a stiver spoon. Miss Respress, as the hotel manager, skill fully handled the situation, and the guilty parties sweetly acknowledged the theft and handed over the booty. The touching little tragedy, "St >-Cecelia," climaxed the programme. In the first scene the bridesmaids. Miss es Taylor, Edgerton, Gllette, and New tern discuss the wedding of Cecelia and Philip Dumont, closing with a charming by.play with Bridget,' the maid, In which each of the four con vinces the docile maid that her tilt of the bridesmaid's bonnet Is the correct cne. Miss Ida Mae Langston skill fully interpreted Bridget as half afraid yet wholly convinced that all fcur were right. The Joy of the prospective wedding Is dlmmedjby an accident which de prived Cecelia of her health, t*r beauty, and finally of her lover, for she finds her fiance loves her sister ; and that they may be happy, sho takes herdtwn life. Miss Banderford as the younger sister, and Miss Wilcox the fiance gave fine Interpretation of the patHetlc struggle against the love so traitorous to love. Miss Tressle Lloane In the delicate portrayal of St. Cecelia showed a mastery of sugges tive art very difficult in amateur at tainment. Again Miss Bablngton has presented plays of real merit, which evidence careful training in both the mechan ics and interpretation of dramatic art JOHN LEONARD KIMBALL DEAD Mr. John Leonard Kimball, who died at his home in Vance County, was burled in the Bethel church cemetery on April 14th, 1928. He was about 19 years of age. He was never married. He leaves four sisters, and was a kind neighbor and a very clever gen tleman. He made a publlo profes sion of religion a few months before his departure. Girls who regard their labor-asvtag devloeamay wish some day they had learned hew to hoH sk i Olden M. E. Panor l(ev. K.

Kittrell, and the Missions at Frank llnton and Wake Forest, and will make his residence in Louisburg and visit the other points from this place. Mr. Miller is a single man, and ar rived on the 16th, and will occupy the rectory in Louisburg. He is a na tive of Eastern North Carolina but has been in New York, Georgia and other states and wanted to get back to his native state and comes to Louis burg from St. Michael's and All An gels Church, Savannah, Ga. Mr. Miller will hold his first ser vices at St. Paul's Louisburg, on Sun. day, 11 A. M, April 19th, and he will be cordially welcomed to Louisburg, and will feel at home among his own people A NOBLE OUTCAST The students and faculty of Gold. Sand school will present "A Noble Outcast" at Mapleville School, Tues day evening, April 21st. The pro ceeds will be used for the benefit of both schools. It is safe to say that In the whole range of the drama there is no character to be found with such power to compel alternate laughter and tears as is shown by Jerry, the tramp. The dramatic Interest Is In tense, the appeal to the sympathy of the human heart powerful, and the comedy is as refined as it is success ful in moving the audience to laugh ter. The cast feels very much fiat tcred, when they are asked, "When are you going to give your play again T" and they answer, "111 be right there," by those whom have seen them play as many as six times. So if you want to help a good cause and spend an enjoyable evening. Come! Admission 2S and 85 cents. Time 8 o'clock.

SEED OF THE FUTURE EDUCA TIONAL SYSTEM By Dr. Frany Crane Under Section 47D of the National | Defense Act, as amended June 4, 1920. Is the seed of the future educational I system of the United States and of the ] world. This section provides that Secret ary of War see to it that schools are established throughout the country. in which Army Officers shall provide j military training and teach citizen ship to such boys as may care to at- | tend. Last year 20,000 boys spent one month in such camps. There they learned such vital things as throwing their shoulders back and holding in the abdomen, getting up when the trumpet blows, eating what is set be fore them, exercising team play wifE" their fellows and respect toward their superiors, toeing the mark, keeping step and similar things that were in valuable in the important task of not being a slob, but being a regular two fisted he-American. The only fault I can find with these schools is that Instead of 20,000 boys being in them, 20,000,000 should have been in them. In fact, it will be a God-blessed day for this country when every boy in the land, whether be be the son of a banker or a section hand, shall be re quired to put on the uniform of Uncle Sam's Army and go to school under army officials, outdoors somewhere, for at least one,month of the year, every year between the ages of 17 to 21. I wonder if the people know that these camps are in existence this summer, that they are maintained and paid for by the Government, that any boy between the ages of 17 and 24 may attend them, the Government not only paying Irtf expenses and furnishing him with uniform-and grub, but also paying his tare from his home to camp and return. Think of that! A million boys ought to apply for admission to these ramps this Summer. The only reason they have not applied before is be cause the advantage has not been sufficiently advertised. These schools are not for the pur. pose of making soldiers out of boys. Boys do not there learn how to kill. They learn how to behave themselves, how to get strong bodies, alert minds, and how to become good citizens. This hews ought to receive exultation by many a mother who is worried over what to do with rer boy this Summer. To hare him get out among other boys of his age, learn how to get along with his fellows, learn the road toward a healthy body and a bright mind, learn what a wonderful master Uncle Sam is, and learn that there is something in this world beside his own pleasure; that there Is a great country to serve to live for and even die for ought surely to apply to every parent. And. Inddenkalln thq transfor mation of the army from a mere fighting machine for destruction into an organisation for construction, into an organisation for the building up of good citizenship, would be the moat significant achievement of the century C.
