Frequently he has been called into consultation by the energetic and efficient principal, Miss Reed, who has a big job on her hands in the management of all sorts and condi tions of children in a school family of nearly 1,000 pupils. Our most recent visit to the school was this week, when we spent nearly an hour in the manual training room,! which is in charge of Miss Anna Myers and Miss Gertrude Ruhnka. A class of boys from the seventh grade, our own son being one of the number, were working in oak, making some small, substantial pieces of furniture. We were very much interested. We were shown many pieces of beautiful work and among it a great deal of Red Cross work. Here is some of the work for the Red Cross that the pupils of Kellom school have recently completed: Band ages, four-tailed, 245; many-tailed, 125; 2x2 gauze wipers, 375; shot bags, 600; double bed socks, 30; hospital leggins, 36; surgeons’ caps; comforts, 4; snippings, 4 boxes; knitted goods, 15 shawls and 80 pairs of baby bootees. The shawls and baby bootees are for Belgian babies. How school work has grown and be come diversified! And just think, great impetus has been given to man ual and industrial training in the pub lic school systems of the country by the late Booker T. Washington, an American of color. It will do you good to visit the school in your neighborhood and get acquainted with the teachers of your children and with whom you ought to co-operate. LODGE DIRECTORY Omaha Lodge No. 146, A.

DOTSON THE STEPPER Tangle-Footed Southern Boy Featured With “Step Lively, Girls.” “Step Lively, Girls,” a burlesque show that found much favor with pa trons of this form of amusement last season, is announced for the coming week at the popular Gayety commen cing Saturday matinee, May 4. A new two-act travesty called “The Corset Shop” will be presented and it is said to embrace all the elements that go to make up a rattling good entertain ment. Snappy dialogue, lively musical i umbers and novel vaudeville special ties constitute the principal elements of the performance and they are said to be given by a company of unusual ly talented entertainers. All of the important principals of last season’s cast are in the organization, including ! rich McAllister, Tiny Hemley, Harry i T. Shannon and Dotson, "the midnight stepper.” In addition to these are sev eral men and women who have been i engaged for their special fitness to j the requirements of the new show, among them Raymond Paine, Rhea DOTSON THE MI UNITE STEPPER with “Step Lively, Girin" at the popular Gayety twice daily all next week. Hess and Nettie Hyde. Also there is a large chorus of carefully selected girls, whose beauty and sprightliness w II give charm and enjoyment to the long liBt of new and fetching musical numbers. Elaborate scenery and cos tumes are said to have been provided with a lavish hand and, according to all reports, the production in its en tirety compares favorably with many of those that are seen at the higher priced theaters. Edward Bower, well known as a 1 roducer of a high-class musical com edy, is responsible for the stage man agement, and Catherine Crawford, fa vorably known for her artistically presented vaudeville act called “The Fashion Parade,” has designed the costumes. Sunday’s matinee starts at 3 o’clock.
