S A pageant of upwards of 10,000 fe g happy, smiling school children fe marching with the precision of military companies to the inspiring music of 4 numberless bands. 5 A spectacular parade inspired g by sentiment and which brought M forth emotions as well as applause from the many thousands who crowded the sidewalks to witness it. The kaleido scope of coloring as each school, deco- rated in its own colors, went marching 0 by, was grand to behold. We extend our congratulations to one and all who participated fe in this great event, —to the members of S the committee who conceived it, —to the school authorities who co-operated,—to the principals and the teachers for their original ideas and their untiring ef forts in directing their own divi sions,—and to the children, those happy children who individually lent their en thusiastic support in making the dem jfe*! onstration such a grand success. May the near future bring a % fe repetition of this wonderful pro cession. Truly this was an incentive for higher education and a bigger and better Harrisburg. | | | THE GLOBE i "The Big Friendly Store" NEWEST PORTRAIT READY TO PLACE Fine Likeness of the Former Lieutenant-Governor Deliv ered to the Capitol The portrait of V \ \ ® //J John M.Reynolds,of A\\ Bedford, lieutenant SSX\\|t\ £(2 g° v ernor from 1911 .» to 1915, painted for <he lieutenant gov ernor's suite In the Capitol, will be 1 JmllfsMftnVv P' aced ' n position = this we ® k - It has | been delivered to Samuel B.

"While, of course," said he, "It would be very nice to have a sanitary hos pital, and while I believe it would be a tine thing, yet it is my personal opin ion that a sewage disposal plant would be of more benefit to the borough."
