'MORE LIGHT FLASHED ON THE

power to provide proper school facilities at the expense of tax payers.
1n last week's issue of "Our Town"
it was poinlt'd out that the schaul cude
pro\'ided that the State superintendent
w"ultl have power to declare our an"
nual State appropriation forft~ited, but
neither he nor any other State official
is gin'n exprcss power tn take any aflirmati\'c action to providc that which

pruvisit'n must necessarily he read in

Later 1 met 13 and put the same
to him. This was his reply:
"1 t's a splendid idea; practically all
the aU\'ancetl educators endorse the
playgrounu; it is an integral part of
the best of the newest educational systelliS," Doth l11en were eCjual1y sincere, but both can't be right. ,Meanwhile, election is drawing nearer.
Last year the school loan was defeated, but 1 don't believe twcnty-live
per cenl. of the citizens who voted
ag-ainst tl:e loan were really opposed
to additional and improved school facilities,
There was a time-not 1110re than
a hundred years ago, tuo-when the
people of IJhiladc1phia had to light for
public schools, but it is reasonable to
suppose that practically everyone in
Narberth is in favor of everything- that
will make for the better education ot
the children-if they arc Ihuruughly

A playground is either right or
wrong; it is needed or it isn't needed.
Those who arc advocating it surel)'
ha \'e their reasons; they have studied
the subject and must certainly knuw
now and why it is going to benelit the
children.
A statement from the Board of Educatiun on this subject is due the vot('rs of Narberth, and, 1 believe, wi 11 be

By Lady Narberth
A new kind of' Christmas is coming
to many Narberth hOlll('S this yearto the homes of thuse of our lolks
whu do what they can tu bring joy,
yes, and comfort, tu the little children
ol' war-turn Europe.
\Vhen the big ship sails frum "\merica, alung about the first of November,
there will be many Narberth packages
stowed aW;lY in the hold. Already a
number of our cilizens have sent contributions; many uthers arc planning
to fol1ow suit. \Vhy shouldn't every
Narberth home be represented?
Address your package to The Child

Sant;l Claus is just as dear to the

It
cost us Ten Dollars to tell you our little story last
week, and we got Twenty Dollar's worth of satisfaction.
We believe everybody read every word and absorbed
every fact, and a goodly number came around and told us so.
Save this advertisement and bring it to us on Monday,
Tuesday or Wednesday, Oct. 26, 27 & 28. It's good for Ten
Cents, with a purchase of groceries amounting to One Dollar
or more.
Gather up all the "Our Towns" you can and sell them to
