THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER. VOLUME XXXIII. McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1907. NUMBER 10 THEATRE TALK NO. 4 AS THE YEARS GO BY AND "THE TWO ORPHANS" PLAYS TO LARGE AND INTERESTED AUDIENCES SEASON AFT£R SEASON, irhile otker plays, good strong plays, too, are born and die in a short time, the question is often asked, why "THE TWO OR­ PHANS" has outlived thousands of other plays? In a word one A Story That Will Never Grow Old. might answer because it has all the elements of success which other plays only possess in a degree. There is scarcely a passion known to humanity Ih^tr is not shown in its utmost strength, both as cause and effect, in thi3 won­ derful play, and withal these fierce human passions are so closely Interwoven in the threads of the story that it forms a r'rama that stands almost unrivalled as regards powerful effect aud deepest pathos. In fact* pathos is the keynote struck by a master hand in a way that has drawn the tears of millions of people since it« first production. It is doubtful if a story of more parotic interest has ever been or ever will be written than this tale of two friendless girls t \ ^ ^ ^ . _ XWfvte She Is/n Danger You May S/&s/} My Flesh In Rib \ \ \ ' v 7 Will feet Notmss \ \ t>elng left alone in the gay city of Paris, bcth beautiful and one of them blind; their separation, and the hideous dangers they fall into; the bitter hidden yearning of the Countess for the child torn by cruel fate from her breast; the piteous figure of Pierre; the sad history of Marianne, are all phases of life that touch the tenderest chords of our natures,, WORDS AND FASHIONS, CUSTOMS AND MANNERg MAY CHANGE, but as long as humanity exists our passions can never change, good and evil will battle for supremacy, and just so long a play like "THE TWO ORPHANS" that eptomizes the best and worst of life's history will live, and succeeding generations will ap­ plaud its virtue and hiss its vice, FOR THE STRENGTH OF THIS PLAY OF PLAYS IS IN ITS TRUE HEART INTEREST. It is H eld as a Cherishec Memory Our patrons tell us it's a pleasure to see such a play and production a8 this. They couldn't tell us anything that would please us more. THE PLAY WILL BE HERE SOON AND THE MANAGEMENT •AYS "YOUR MONEY'S WORTH OR YOUR MONEY BACK."

Go to your school house before the opening day of school and note the needs in the way of equipment, repairs, cleanliness and sanitation. Study the classification register. If there are any points yon do not understand about it, bring it to the meeting on Aug. 31. If you do not find a classification register, report the matter to this office at once. You should also be supplied with a state course of study. AFTER SCHOOL BEGINS. 1. Study your pupils, their individ­ ual needs and the needs of the commun­ ity. 2. Identify yourself with the life of the community. Assist the people in organizing Farmers' clubs and Domes­ tic Science clubs. 3. Organize your boys and girls into country clubs. Some valuable hints along this line will be found in the state course for 1907. 4. Plan socials for your school. It will not be necessary to charge admis­ sion to all of them. During the fall, when the corn is in the shock, have a corn-judging contest and social in connection with it. This office or the experiment station at the university of Illinois will supply you with score cards and bulletins. A bread-making and bread-judging contest would be eni table for the winter social. Sewing contests would be inter­ esting. A dairy program would give a healthy impetus to farm life in MCHPU ry county. Get your directors to par- chase a four-bottle Babcock tester as a part of the permanent laboratory . There should be one in every country school of McHenry county. The cost is reason­ able--about four dollars. Seed-germination, seed-testing, soil- testing, etc., would furnish abundant material for a spring program. Briefly vitalize the school atmosphere and the community life in every laudable way. Keep your little community in constant and rational contact with their sur­ roundings and lead them to see that the farm offers everything for soul, mind and body that makes for the "abundant life." SUGGESTIONS FOR CITY SUPERINTEND­ ENTS, PRINCIPALS AND GRADE TEACHERS. if possible, be in your community a sufficient length of time before school opens to make a careful, quiet survey of the school situation, and learn its needs, both spiritual and material. Look over the school register of the previous year. Note the list of promotions. Make a thoro and individual campaign to re­ tain in school those who are beyond the legal age and are inclined to drop out. Fill your high school if possible. The county superintendent is especial­ ly anxious that a practical system of political and social ethics shall be worked out and applied in the upper grades and high schools of our county. There nev­ er was a time when there was a greater need, in order to preserve society and the state, that we see clearly and feel deeply our relations to one another and to onr larger self, the state, than at present. Formal examinations, as well as personal experience, have proven that a large per centage of the pupils who are graduated from our high schools cannot distinguish between a political lie and the truth, the moral code and the legal code, a legal privilege and a natural right, "belonging" to a party and the subordinating of self to an or­ ganization for the sake of truth and justice, true patriotism and a noisy cannon cracker, the demagogue and the man of sound convictions. They are equally ignorant of the nature of. state guardianship of the poor, the unfortu­ nate, the homeless and the insane. A representative democracy cannot rest safely on a foundation of ignorance. Knowledge alone cannot save us, but if, with the informed mind, we have the cultivated imagination and lively emo­ tion that render true sympathy possible, the highest welfare of those dependent upon us will be assured. The county superintendent would also further suggest that the coming school year be marked by an earnest attempt to enlist the interest of every school community in the work of establishing departments for instruction in manual training and domestic science. If we would save ourselves from this demon, Unscrupulous Commercialism, it must be by the establishment of new ideals that lead us to regard the man with the educated hand as the possessor of the truest means of happiness and self-re­ alization. Wishing every teacher all the success that wise, conscientious and consecrated effort can bring one, I remain, Yours fraternally, G. W. CONN, JR., CO. Supt. of Schools. Endorsed by the County. "The most popular remedy in Otsego county, and the best friend of my fam­ ily, " writes Wm. M. Dietz, editor and publisher of the Otsego Journal, Gil­ berts ville. N.

Under direction of the Ladies' Cem­ etery association quite a change has been made in the cemetery in the past week. A new arch has been made over the carriage "entrance, the one large gate made into two, which makes it much more convenient, new steps and railing for the small entrance, and a large platform and steps for getting iu and out of carriages, the whole being painted and presenting a very hand­ some appearance. The ladies are de­ serving of great praise in this matter. The new well being dug at the pickle factory of Cristy, Walker & Co. caved in on Friday night last. They had dug down about fifty-one feet when they struck water, which came in so rapidly that they were obliged to pump it out with a steam pump, after which they had commenced to brick it up,' when the sides gave way and the labor of weeks was lost almost in a moment. The expense to the firm has been im­ mense, but they are not tbe kind that get discouraged and will immediately try it again, we hope with better suc­ cess . ' HAP AN AWFUL TIME.
