COMMUNICATED
Daily Gateway: In an article last
Friday it was stated that the Seward
teachers had been appointed a com
mittee to have full charge of the com
munity Christmas program. Inas
much as we had only three or four
days’ notice of this and had insuffi
cient time to prepare an extensive
program for the occasion,'the school
is furnishing only a few numbers, in
: eluding a short play by the Sixth
| Seventh and Eighth grades. These
| were to have been used at the school.
It is only fair that this correction
should be made in order that the
teachers shall not be given unfair
criticism because of the shortness of
the school’s portion in the program.

HOW DO WE KNOW?

“Hush up, man; what you know ’bout
it? Dem ancient was hell for fish.”
