There will be a series of concerts 1
this fall by the students of the Tur
lington Graded School for the purpose
of paying for the Grafoiiola which
was purchased last term. The grafo
nola has been enjoyed by the entire
student body, the primary department
especially, and we feel that this debt
should be met as soon as possible. The
first concert will be given in the
school auditorium on the afternoon of
Wednesday, October twenty-fourth,
at four o'clock. The charge of ad
mission will be only five cents, and we
hope that all who are interested in j
the welfare of the school will attend.
