AFTER a person has reached the pinnacle of success he (or she) has hundreds of imitators. "He did it (she did.it), so why shouldn't I doit?" "The Greensburg high school, of*which Allen H. Kuder is the popular superintendent, decided to put on "Little Women" as the class play on May 14 and 15. It had been seen in Canton at the Palace as a picture several months ago and it drew packed houses. So Greensburg put it on as a stage production. It was capably directed and well acted by students in the school. It was the theatrical "hit" of the season in that section of The Sun's territory. Sinoe that date, May 15, the writer of this column has been asked many questions about Louisa M. Alcott, far- famed author of "Little Women." As I write this article there are in front of me five letters concerning Miss Alcott. "Who was she?" "When was .she horn-?" -"When did she die?" Several groups of amateurs are considering producing it "If it made such a hit in Greensburg high school, why not with us?" is a query I am asked to solve. My advice is, "Go to it! But put your souls into the play or it will be a rank failure." LET US get back to Louisa M. Alcott. She was bom in 1832 and died in 1888. "No braver soul ever came into this world than Louisa," wrote William Justin Mann years ago, and as he knew the family he was qualified to speak. According to Mann, "Little Women" was probably the most popular book for girls ever published. It was so successful that it lifted from the* Alcott family the strain and--stress of poverty, which they had long undergone.' In and around North Canton the. swimming season is fast opening lip and the big outdoor pool is being put in readiness for June 1. As usual, the; teachers will put out every effort this,' year to keep North Canton swimmers, posted ' on up-to-date methods- and techniques of this sport. Classes -vri\\ be arranged for all different groups. Swimming team workouts and life saving will be held in the mornings. A class at 11:30 a.m. for adults, beginners at 1:30 p.m. advanced class/at 2:30, intermediates at 3:00. Pool will close at 4:00 for % hour. Hoover employes at 4:30 to 5:30. Open period will be from 7 to 9. We are anxious that all folks benefit by this popular carry-over sport and we want you to know just what it's all about.

Those wishing membership and noble spirit as we know him to j should call cither Arnold Post, Henry have been, yet was impractical, and I Hoover, or Jno. McLean at The as to financial matters was almost a.- . Hoover Company, a child. Money was a scarce article in that family. With the immense success of "Little Women" Louisa was able to bring ease and comfort to those she loved, in place of the strenuous conditions they had long experienced. Brave as a woman, she had been brave even as a child. ¥ * V THERE is a pretty story about her in connection with the Temple school which her father opened in Boston. According to William Justin Mann, "The time came when a mob besieged the door of that school, demanding that it be closed. Mr. Alcott came out, closed the door behind him, and faced the mob. Presently the door opened and little 5-year-old Louisa came out and ran to her father. She sensed that he was in peril. He took her up in his arms, and she, too, faced that angry crowd. Lifting up her little head, she* said, with a gesture of authority, 'Go away, bad people!' The sight of that child abashed the mob, and they slunk away ashamed." E. F. WECKELTO SPEAK Chief Probation Officer of Stark County Will Discuss His Work In Zion Reformed Church. In the social room of Zion Reformed church tomorrow (Thursday) night E. F. Weckel, chief probation officer of Stark county, will discuss the work of the Juvenile Court under the guidance of Judge Thomas H. Leahy. This Court within the p.ist two i years has done a wonderful work in rebuilding boys. This is not astonishing when it is known that sucli men as Judge Leahy, E. F. Weckel, Howard Lehr (former Norlh Cuntonian), Miss Marie F. Nellinger and other men and women of wide experience are devoting themselves to youngsters who were neglected. Tommorrow, May 27, residents of Plain township rural school district will'vote on the question of granting thejBoard of Education of Plain township; one and three-tenths mills to enable; the board to meet expenses. - T le increase asked means an additional $1.30.on a thousand dollars,'but as The Sun pointed out last week, the board of education is not asking for an unreasonable levy, but only enough to consistently maintain the present high (level and economic program of the schools. Unless the levy is passed the educational facilities of the schools in Plain' township will be greatly curtailed, say jjersons.', in a position to knqw. This AVOU'Kr'^e'^Stirioiis injury to children, therefore The Suri'is asking the people to vote for'the levy when they go to the polls tomorrow, Thursday. \ don'tWglIs or INS IN garbII can N.C. HIGH GRADUATES READY FOR DIPLOMAS Friday Evening Will Be the 48tli Annual Commencement and It Is a Great Event In thc Lives of Boys and Girls—President oi Case School, William E. Wickenden, To Make Address, FINE PROGRAM OF MUSIC "you Atwoyi Said You Got the 'Breaks'" i-J-SSSSgs- Happy is the cock-sure driver who feels that Lady Luck rides with him and that he will always get the breaks. Happy, that is, unti! the inevitable emergency arises and the fickle Lady ducks out on him. At high speeds, it doesn't take much to make a car leave the roadway. A moment's inattention, a badly banked curve, a hole in tlie pavement, a sudden swerve — any of these may prove fatal to the driver who depends on his luck. Almost 3,400 persons were killed in that way last year, according to Travelers Insurance Company records. Nearly 05,000 others were injured. In nearly every case the driver had only himself to blame, for no other cars were involved. Good drivers don't depend on luck. They depend on skill, and everlasting alertness. As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice Child Welfare Center. THE SUN extends hearty congratulations to the Child Welfare Center sponsored by the Canton Junior Chamber of Commerce. The program staged last week in the building at the corner of Fifth and Cleveland avenue, Northwest, would do credit to a city of 500,000 population. The speakers were men and women thoroughly familiar with the subjects they discussed, and the booths-were illustrations of life as it really exists today in Stark county. Speakers were Mrs. Margaret Allmaii, Ohio Director of Public Welfare; Mrs. Garry C. Myers, the Rev. Edivard G. Klotz, Proctor Noyes, Judge Thomas H. Leahy, R. D; George, superintendent of the Fairmount Children's home; Edward F. Weckel, Mrs. Eleanor Schriber, Miss Marie F. Nellinger, Charles B. Williams and others. The Fairmount Home band and the Midget quartet from that institution were pleasing features. From an educational standpoint the entire affair was a pronounced success.

AFTER a person has reached the
pinnacle of success he (or she)
has hundreds of imitators. "He
did it (she did.it), so why shouldn't
I doit?" "The Greensburg high school,
of*which Allen H. Kuder is the popular superintendent, decided to put on
"Little Women" as the class play on
May 14 and 15. It had been seen in
Canton at the Palace as a picture
several months ago and it drew
packed houses.
So Greensburg put it on as a stage
production. It was capably directed
and well acted by students in the
school. It was the theatrical "hit" of
the season in that section of The Sun's
territory.
Sinoe that date, May 15, the writer
of this column has been asked many
questions about Louisa M. Alcott, far-
famed author of "Little Women." As
I write this article there are in front
of me five letters concerning Miss
Alcott. "Who was she?" "When was
.she horn-?" -"When did she die?"
Several groups of amateurs are considering producing it "If it made
such a hit in Greensburg high school,
why not with us?" is a query I am
asked to solve. My advice is, "Go to
it! But put your souls into the play
or it will be a rank failure."
LET US get back to Louisa M. Alcott. She was bom in 1832 and
died in 1888. "No braver soul
ever came into this world than Louisa,"
wrote William Justin Mann years ago,
and as he knew the family he was
qualified to speak. According to Mann,
"Little Women" was probably the
most popular book for girls ever published. It was so successful that it
lifted from the* Alcott family the
strain and--stress of poverty, which
they had long undergone.'
In and around North Canton the.
swimming season is fast opening lip
and the big outdoor pool is being put
in readiness for June 1. As usual, the;
teachers will put out every effort this,'
year to keep North Canton swimmers,
posted ' on up-to-date methods- and
techniques of this sport. Classes -vri\\
be arranged for all different groups.
Swimming team workouts and life
saving will be held in the mornings.
A class at 11:30 a.m. for adults, beginners at 1:30 p.m. advanced class/at
2:30, intermediates at 3:00. Pool will
close at 4:00 for % hour. Hoover employes at 4:30 to 5:30. Open period
will be from 7 to 9.
We are anxious that all folks benefit by this popular carry-over sport
and we want you to know just what
it's all about. "

THERE is a pretty story about her
in connection with the Temple
school which her father opened in
Boston. According to William Justin
Mann, "The time came when a mob
besieged the door of that school, demanding that it be closed. Mr. Alcott came out, closed the door behind
him, and faced the mob. Presently
the door opened and little 5-year-old
Louisa came out and ran to her
father. She sensed that he was in
peril. He took her up in his arms, and
she, too, faced that angry crowd.
Lifting up her little head, she* said,
with a gesture of authority, 'Go away,
bad people!' The sight of that child
abashed the mob, and they slunk
away ashamed."
E. F. WECKELTO SPEAK
Chief Probation Officer of Stark

In Zion Reformed Church.
In the social room of Zion Reformed
church tomorrow (Thursday) night E.
F. Weckel, chief probation officer of
Stark county, will discuss the work of
the Juvenile Court under the guidance
of Judge Thomas H. Leahy.
This Court within the p.ist two i
years has done a wonderful work in
rebuilding boys. This is not astonishing when it is known that sucli men
as Judge Leahy, E. F. Weckel, Howard Lehr (former Norlh Cuntonian),
Miss Marie F. Nellinger and other
men and women of wide experience
are devoting themselves to youngsters
who were neglected.
Tommorrow, May 27, residents of

T le increase asked means an additional $1.30.on a thousand dollars,'but
as The Sun pointed out last week, the
board of education is not asking for
an unreasonable levy, but only enough
to consistently maintain the present
high (level and economic program of
the schools.
Unless the levy is passed the educational facilities of the schools in
Plain' township will be greatly curtailed, say jjersons.', in a position to

Happy is the cock-sure driver
who feels that Lady Luck rides
with him and that he will always
get the breaks. Happy, that is,
unti! the inevitable emergency
arises and the fickle Lady ducks
out on him.
At high speeds, it doesn't take
much to make a car leave the
roadway. A moment's inattention,
a badly banked curve, a hole in
tlie pavement, a sudden swerve —
any of these may prove fatal to
the driver who depends on his luck.
Almost 3,400 persons were killed
in that way last year, according to
Travelers Insurance Company records. Nearly 05,000 others were
injured. In nearly every case the
driver had only himself to blame,
for no other cars were involved.
Good drivers don't depend on
luck. They depend on skill, and
everlasting alertness.

Child Welfare Center.
THE SUN extends hearty congratulations to the Child Welfare Center sponsored by the Canton
Junior Chamber of Commerce. The
program staged last week in the
building at the corner of Fifth and
Cleveland avenue, Northwest, would
do credit to a city of 500,000 population.
The speakers were men and women
thoroughly familiar with the subjects
they discussed, and the booths-were
illustrations of life as it really exists
today in Stark county. Speakers
were Mrs. Margaret Allmaii, Ohio

Garry C. Myers, the Rev. Edivard G.
