CHILDREN PLAY WELL IN VIOLIN RECITALS Is it worth while to be a mamber of the violin classes which are offered every winter to the children of Richmond under the supervision and instruction of Professor Frederick Ilicks? We think it is, if the playing of the children Wednesday and Thursday evenings who began their work as pupils in these classes is any sign by which we may judge. Out of the twenty-one children presented by Professor Hicks for recital, on Wednesday evening, Juno 9, sixteen began their violin work as pupils in these violin classes.

Intermediate Did Well, Too "The pupils played better tonight than in any Intermediate recital I have ever had" said Frofessor Hicks, after the recital Thursday evening, June 10. In a program which, as it progressed, brought increasing demands of technique and expression, these Intermediates showed their training and ability. Bernice Richards, who played a Nocturne by Ilelmund, as the last In honor of Miss Freida Laymon's eleventh birthday, a party was given at her homo, 226 South Fifteenth street.

was beautifully played by Hilbert Woodhurst. The dramatic effects of a number named Melancolie by Ieonard were well brought out by George Krueger. A difficult Souvenir de Vienlawski was played by Edwin Sieweke in an able manner. Martha Webb's playing of a slow, dreamy selection brought out much of the characteristic beauty of the violin and Marcki Dennis showed a musical sense in her playing of a piece entitled Summer Night. Elizabeth Nungesser played Berceuse from Joeelyn with feel ing. TamborLne by Gosse, played by William Romey find Life Let Us Cherish, played by Robert Hough, i and Swan Song ( by (Saint Saens) Mote were much applauded by the audience.

V i Children's DaV In the Sunday Schools Of course, in a way every Sunday is Children's Day in the Sund S(:ho()ls: bu, . once a vear many . , , onjuhlv tnat belongs to tno children more than to any one else. Last Sunday was Children's Day in the First Christian church, the United Brethren church, the East Main street Friends church and the First Methodist church. Next Sunday is the day appointed lor Children's Day in the Whitewater Friends' church. Let yoi.r editor know of it, Juniors, when your Sunday school has Ch.''dren's Day or a celebration of any kind so we may publish it in our little paper. St. Andrews Pupils To Present "Fabila" On the evenings of June 20 and 22, the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades and those of tho High school of St. Andrew's school will present a play, " Fabila," in the auditorium of their school. The children of tho lower grades will present a patriotic playlet on the same evenings. An admission of fifty cents will b charged. Work will close for the pupils of St. Andrew's school on June 23. Children Have Part In Special Service Last Sunday many children of the First Christian church helped to present a program for their annual celebration of Children's Day. These children were Margaret Shields, Marion Thomas, Beatrice Owen, Clara Huber, Martha Thomas and Frances Tillson. Beside this there were many songs by groups of children from the primary and junior departments. The sum of $400 was raised at this service, which pays for the support of a missionary in China.

French Boy Scouts Enthusiastic, Says Earlham Man

"Sois prct" Is the motto of the Hoy Scouts who live in France. It just says, in French, what our motto says in English, Bo Prepared. Eclaireurs Unionistes is the word for Roy Scouts and is the name which is writtea on their emblem which also baa a golden rooster on it, and this rooster is the symbol of the French republic iThere aro many Boy Scout troops in France, with M. Beigbeder, who lives in Paris, the Chief Scout, as James West is, for the United States. In Villef ranch e, a town in southern Franco, which is about the size J of Richmond, are two very active j Boy Scout troops. Their scoutj master until the beginning of the year was M. Jacques Monnier, who has been a student at Earlham college during this school year. Mr. Monnier is full of thusm for scouting and for his own scouts especially. In his troop aro 28 boys who aro 11 or 12 years old. These boys, said Mr. Monnier, are enthusiaslic as can bo over a1 fmns fif scoufi and h he , h they are always meeting him on the street andsking him what they are , (0 do next in the,r They hike and camp and pass their tests and get their degrees, d everything, just as scouts do here.

This troop has; been enrolled twice on the Escut(.heon of onor whicn , placcd !? .ne "f, ,lh I'aris and has been written up in the Scout papers, which publish in tenia! lonal Scout news. Mr. Monnier said with just pride that his troop was the best in France in its work in the InternaI tional Morse Code. They have ar nged their stations so that they can easily talk 7 miles During the war tho boys of his troop caried messages between the hospitals which were in their own town and between those and the Wyoming Girls Have Gala

ones in other towns. Many times they helped in carrying the wounded from the trains to tho hospitals. They studied the work of tho fire department in their town and from September, 1918, until the end of the war they ran the wagons. Scouts Win Gold Medals Two boys in his troop have been awarded tho Boy Scout gold medals for the saving of life. One of them Jean Denoyel is tiis name saved a baby from drowning in the Saone river, on which Villefrancho is located. The other gold medal was awarded to Jean Seignouret who, seeing an old lady on the railroad track, in front of a Bwiftly approaching train which the lady could not hear, risked his own life

to get her off the track and to a place of safety. i Went Camping Easter. These scouts are very much interested in signalling and practice this especially when they go camping. When sclipol is out, Mr. Monnier (Chef do Troup, or scoutmaster) and his scouts go camping twice a week on over night hikes. Then, on tho fourteenth of July, tho national holiday of France, they go camping foi five days or a week. They do .not need to go camping, however, to go swimming and canoeing, as they can do that right at home on the Saone river which is deep and slow, and has nice islands in it which are just right for camping. There are five canoes in this troop all made by the boys themselves. Mr. Monnier (or M. Monnier, as they write it in French, the M. meaning Monsieur, which is the same as our word, Mister) has been receiving letters from his scouts all j winter. The Lust one told howhe uuup kjiciii easier vacation, camping about 5 days in the Central Massif mountains in the central part of France. There were 80 or 90 boys in this camp as one of the largest troops of Lyons went with the Villefranche troop. When in tho mountains they make a special study of nature, birds and flowers and trees. M. Monnier is going to send some copies of your Junior Pallauium to his scouts and tell them about it. Perhaps some time they will write a letter to us. Wouldn't that be fun? Time Daring Convention

WHERE WILL IT BE? WHEN WILL IT BE?

Well, we can not say just yet All they told us, was that it was a beautiful camp site. Tho Boys' Comndttee of the local Y. M. C. A. has made a complete set of plans for the boys' camp this summer. These plans aro now ready to be acted upon by the board of directors of the Association. Full announcement of dates, place and other important details, may be expected at any time. James Ross has been appointed patrol leader of Troop 3 of the Y. M. C. A., to fill the vacancy left by the removal r of Homer Weimar from tho city. He has been named Scribe of tho troop and has taken the Tenderfoot test The regular weekly meetings of the troop will be held on Monday evenings at 7 o'clock. Meetings for instruction in the tests an degrees will be held in addition to the regular meetings. JENKINS CHILDREN HELP DAY NURSERY Louise and Margaret Jenkins, who livo at 1903 Main street, wished to show the littlo children who go to the Day Nursery that they were very much interested in them. So, they thought of a way to do this, and they thought of this all by themselves. This idea was to go from house to house in their neighborhood on Saturday last and sell tags for the benefit of the Day Nursery. They did this, working eagerly and long, and succeeded in raising the sum of $16, which 1s the largest single amount raised by any of the children who helped with this work. The total sum raised as a result of last Saturday's sales is $1,707. To this sum we are told that many children contributed of their own accord. Other children who helped in the sale of these tags are Mary and Jean Shiveley, Lestra Hibberd, Carolyn and Ellen Bartel, Mary Elizabeth Smith, Nella Pollitz, and Alice and Evelyn Carr. There may be other children who took part in this, but we were not able to secure any other names. We are sure, however, that all who helped in this work wero happy to d it, and we are glad that the children had a part in this for it really concerned the children more than any one else, as children will be the ones who will have- the benefit of this money. The Day Nursery is flourishing. Monday, there were 29 children thero ; Tuesday, 32, and Wednesday 34. It is worth while helping all these Richmond children to b healthy and happy, isn't it? Valuable Baggage ITow would you like to go on a long journey tagged just like a. piece of baggage? That is what Joln Paul Jones, 7 years old, is doing. He began his journey, which will cover 1,000 miles, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, insured for $25,000, all alone and tagged His destination is Sidney, Ohio. Ho was insured for the journey against injury, death or loss. TOM, THE CAT, TELLS ABOUT HIS NIGHT OUT "Say, Jack, you should have been where I was last night." "Whoj-owasI? I was In Smith's corn crib. There were the nicest big, fat rats, and I had a feast. I was so full I couldn't eat my breakfast this morning, and the mistress wondered why. I suppose, though, sho knew I had been eating rats." "And you don't like rats" "Oh, you like rabbits better than rats. Well, I do, too, but I very seldom get any. I will have to go. I see the mistress coming with my milk. Given as a monologue by Laurel Converse, in 8A English.
