pils
of
the
Christianst~d
Junior
High
|
School: It gives
me
much
pleasure
to
|
®
be
here
with
you
tonight.
I
have
at-
|
tended
Cl ristmas
performances
‘n
the
other
islands
and
[
must
say
that
this
|
is equal
to,
or the best,
I have
attended.
|
I want
you
to understand
that lam
your
|
Governor
just as
much
as
I am
the
Gov-
ermor nf
St.
John
and
St
Thomas,
and
|
I am deeply interested
in this island just
as
much
as
the
others.
Do
not
think
|
because
I am
not here
that I do not know
what
is happening;
that
is
not
so
Every-
thing is submitted
to
me
as
it happens,
and
when
[ send
my report
to
President
Harding
he
will be
very
muech
pleased,
.as
fre is deeply interested
in education
to
know
the
progress
you
are
making.
1
happen
to be personally
acquainted
witn
President
Harding,
who
is
onz
of
the
voreatest
men
of
his
day.
Besides
his
other
great
qualities he
possesses
that
quality which
the Giver of All Good
gave
o nmankind,
and that
is
HUMILITY.
1
myself am
very much
interested
in
edu-
cation,
and
will
do
everything
possible
for the support of ail eduecational
institu-
tions, and particularly
the publie schools.
Now you have
a beautiful little’ island,
very
fertile,
and
can
produce
two jor
three
times
as
much
as it now
produces.

The Goygrnment
Ras
¢
down
Profes-
s
Thompson,
a
man of wide experience
along agricultural
lines,
‘ho will
advise
us what is best
to be done
to
make
this
island
still
movre
productive.,
We
have
already started
school
gardens
on
a small
scale.”’
His Excelleney impressed
strongly
up-
on
-the
children
that they
should
take
sufficient
intecest
along
the line
of
agri-
culture,
it
being
the
most
beneficial
of
all
o~cupations.
‘'lt stands
first’”’, said
His Excellency,
‘‘because
we
cannot
ex-
ist
wirnout
food,
and
we
d: pend
upon
our 30il for
food.
Therefore,
go
ahead
and
cultivate
as
mueh
as
is
possible.”’
The
Governor
then frankly told
the girls
that
“‘women
has
never
occupied
her
proper
place
in
the
world, that
in
his
opinion,
womnen
are
equal
and
in
some
casa2s
even
superior
to
men.’’
They
shouid
work side by side
with
men
and
never
remain
one rung of the
ladder
be-
low.
Goveraor
Kittelle
then
explained
to the girls
the
thr2e
essentials
o
wo-
manhood,
namely,
to learn
to
cook
well,
iearn
to
sew
and
sew
well,
and
leain
to
take
the
oroper
care of children.
H:s Kxceollency
now
turned
to
Melville
Stevens
and
addressed
him in the follow
ing
language:
Melville Stevens,I take
pleasure
in
telitng
you that
you
possess
a oreat
talent,
and I want
you,
when
you
<o home,to
take your testament
ana
there
read
the story
of the
talent
Christ
gave
to men,
some
of
whom
weant
and
buried
them.
Do not bury
yours,
but
so
use
it,
climbing
higher
and
highzr
untll
the
time
comes
when
he
shall
say
to
you,
""Wnat
have
you done
with the
talent
I
gave
you?’
You
will
then
be
able
to
say,
‘‘hereis the
talent
vou gave
me,
1
have
made
the
most
of it.””
And
then
.
he will say
to you
‘' WNell done,
Good
and
Faithtul servant.’’
Lo the Editor of *St. Croix Avis.’”’
Dear
Mr. Editor,
.
In your editorial
eomment
in
your
estee
ned
paper
of
yesterday
o1
the
movie
show
in
the Theatre
of Thursday
evening,
we
note
you
said
‘‘everybody
went
away
satisfied””
We
are
satisfied
with the ‘‘Vanishing Dagger’’, and
also
appreciate
Mr.
Svendsen’s
efforts
to
en-
tertain
his
patrons
with such
first class
pictures,
but
we
are
of the
opinion
that
the
entertainment
is brought
to a
close
too
early.
We admit
that
six reels
are
shown,
and
that
there
is
some
improve-
ment
the passing
of one
reel
to the
next,
which
save
time,
but
inel
ding
fEfteen
or
twenty
minutes
intermission,
we
would be glad for at least
two full hours
entertainment.
On
Thursday
night
we
were
on our way home
at two minutes
past
ten.
There
was
room
for another
reel
of
some other picture,as
was done here
some
time ago,
and
also
at
St.
Thomas
at
cer-
tain
tines.
We
are
not
advocates
of
midnight
shows,
but 10,5
and
10.30,
o’clock
are
quite
reasonable,
judging
from
the
time
the
entertainment
com-
nences.
Thanking
you Mr. Editor for
space
al
lowed,
and with
our best
wishes
for
a
successful
1922
for
the
Christiansted
Theatre,
we beg to sabsecribe
ourselves,
THEATRE PATRONS.
