Peeper Run Home Coining
The home coming of teachers, pu
pils and friends of the Peeper Run
school, held on the school grounds,
Aug. 17, was a great success, and a
great day. The weather was ideal
for such an occasion. More than
400 people were pre-sent. They
came from Kansas, Chicago, Cleve
land, Pittsburgh, Akron, Canton,
Columbus, 'Zanesville, Roseville,
Crooksville, New Lexington, Corn
ing, McConnelsville, and elsewhere.
All committees had done their
work well, so nothing was lacking
to malte it an enjoyable time.
In opening, C. H. Aler gave an
address of welcome. Herbert Morin
read the 90th Psalm. Walter
Banke-s, jr., offered prayer, and all
joined in singing America, A won
derful dinner was served cafeteria
style. A table 80 feet long had been
prepared, «but it was not
sufficient,
as a number of groups of people
had to get by .themselves to eat
their dinner.
In the afternoon the secretary
read a lelter from Mrs. Sadie Stew
art, a former teacher, also one ot
some length and much interest
from Miss Lillie Gregg of Los An
geles, Cal., a former teacher and
pupil. Talks were given by Ezra
Pettit, Wayne Bankes, Walter
Bankes, jr., and Ottis Laughman.
C. H. Aler called the roll as it was
when he taught the school in 1X75
in 1889, and in 1898. Irvie Mas
terson, the secretary, read the
names of the teachers who have
taught there since about the time
of the Civil war, to the present
time. The house now standing was
built in 1874. Mr. Aler read the
names of pupils who became teach
ers, who went to school in the
house 'now standing. The list is
as follows: Clem, George W., and
Ray Appleman, Harley, Walter, sr.,
Willie, Wayne, Lillie, Daisy, Fauna,
Riley, Ora, Nellie, and Walter, jr.,
Bankes, Edgar Curry. Emma Den
nis, Winnie, Ellis, Lillie, Viola, and
Lillian Gregg, Laura and Delia
Hane. Amy and Emma Hearing, A.
G., Willie, and Irvie C. Masterson,
Nellie Maris, Zella Naylor, Perley
and Ezra Pettit, Irville and Ella
I'rice, Le Elden Patterson, Rena
Taylor. A list of the teachers will
be published later.
Herbert Bankes, Wilfred Scott,
and Jesse Niceswanger furnished
music. Among the many diversions
of the day, the nail driving and pie
eating contests excited great mirth.
The Stoneburner-Smith reunion
was held in connection with the
home coming, as so many of them
were directly interested in both.—

ART AND AR'IHTI-K'TURK AT
CHAUTAUQUA
(By Isabel Bozman)
What a delight it is to ascend
the steps, beyond the fountain, and
enter the broad open doors of Nor
ton Hall. Built as a memorial and
designed by Lorado Taft, the sculp
tor, of Chicago, the whole place is
one dream of lighting, decoration
and convenient -seating for 15 00
people. Last year I saw the pieces
of sculpture ready to inset, made of
monolithic concrete so adaptable
for a part of the building, and now
as they are built in and made a
part, the decoration is complete.
Here, are to be presented a pro
gram of operas in English, with
most favorable conditions also
dramas requiring a more enclosed
space than can be had at the am
phitheatre, besides recitals by the
best of symphony and artists who
are teaching.
This one buiiding with all Its
beautiful lines has added much to
tho program of 1929. The sculptor
Mr. Tult gave an evening of model
ing in clay, on the platform of the
amphitheatre, showing in a crude
and rapid way the use of moist clay
and the appearance of ease ill
changing the expression of the hu
man face while forming a clay im
age. This work which is so instruc
tive and suggestive, has been put
before the high schools of Pitts
burgh during the past winter, as
part of a wonderful Frick plan, and
with great hopes of arousing the
•spirit of young artists into action.
Mr. Taft has also a dream of a
museum which wo hope will be ma
terialized in Chicago and Chautau
qua. It will mean only a few thou
sands of dollars, the two require
ments being proper lighting and his
torical sequence. i» the arrange
ment of the great things in archi
tecture and sculpture done in plas
ter. It would be education. Taised
to the "nth" degree. Much time is
given to the arts of music and dra
ma, while the sister art of painting
seems to suffer. Yet several times
each season there are exhibits of
note, for free enjoyment. We would
hardly commend the painting of
"Jl^X IT UAH KEl^V

"I knew our bottle of Foley's
Honey and Tar was getting low, but
just neglected buying another. Then
sonny had an attack of dreaded
croup, and we were thoroughly scar
ed. I fairly flew for our bottle of
Foley's Honey and Tar, §nd am
thankful to say two doses relieved
him and he was, soon fast asleep.
But just suppose that bottle had
been empty!" Foley's Honey and

working like mad, at tables of seal

sense of satisfaction 'shown when
one has accomplished something for
