We have built long stretches of roads to carry them smoothly and safely across our State to points of interest. Along these roads the tourist spends most of his time while traveling to the unusual spots of IsMuty.

The eight music teachers will also visit schools on the 25th and 26th. Mr. Terry and Mr. Vernon are from the Lincoln High School. They are divided into two groups and are making the trip in automobiles. , These trips for educators have proved of very great value to the men and schools they represent. It is one of the most effective ways of keeping schools abreast of times in school affairs and methods. The subject of fhapel ventilation brought up in the last issue of the Voice of Sharon got a thorough airing and so did some of the chapels. Our comment was made for no other reason than to We assist in that brave project should also have mentioned our sincere admiration for some of the many good features of our chapels such as the pictures in the Pleasant View house the flowers in the Sha-othe fine coat of paint in the continuously the Edgemont, large attendance in the Vineyard and other things we will mention later.

We used to think that poking into other pec pie's business and telling what we found was downright vulgar, especially if we relished ths near scandles we found with spe- cial volubility.
