I have already spoken of the empty
clock faces In the tower. The need of
timepiece that could be seen, and that
would strike without the tugging by
hand at the rope below, prompted a plan
to raise the money to pay for a tower
clock by an allegorical performance pre
sented by the school children. The show
was to consist of a series of tableaux In
terspersed with dialogues and choruses
entitled "The Great Republic," depicting
the striking scenes of American history.
In the last act the sisterhood of states
was represented by a group of young
women, one for each member of the
union, rallying around the Goddess of
Liberty, under whose guidance disunion

Liberty, and no more ideal cast In the
role could have been made. With her
flowing robe of red, white and blue, ner
