The crowning feature of the term, strik ingly illustrated the work and inter est of the entire session. The ex ercises consisting of songs, dialogue recitations and drills, were highly enjoyed by all. Not a single failure among the many children taking part in the exhibit was noted, though the time spent in their training was limited. Several of the children in training and reciting gave evidence of budding taste and growing inter est in literary culture. Proper drill in elocution would surely de velop in them a lore of good litera ture and skill in English composi tion. The season for the exhibit was all that could be desired. It is the (pleasant month of May, the time of songbird and flowers. At nigfit the atmosphere is invigorating neith er too hot nor too cold which cir cumstance rendered it satisfying to the much crowded house. A recent rain had Mndly laid the dust; the stars besprinkling the heavens, but friendly light to the attending crowd and the ' refreshing air stirred Just enough to put the (fans out of commission. The interior of the room pre sented a very attractive appear ance. Two days had been spent 1n the decoration. Many willing hands during this period ot time had given timely and tasteful as sistance. The beautifully ar ranged rostrum, the central object of the scenario, with its pretty "wreathes of evergreens cedar, flowers, and pictured walls, resem bled a home in fairy land, garlands ot evergreen and cedar also fes tooned window and wall of rooms, making the entire scene very pic turesque. The two class rooms now thrown into one, had been generously seat ed, to accommodate the large -crowd expected. Our expectations were abundantly met. Long be fore the Empress night, had drop ped her sable curtains, the country around began to assemble, soon the seating capacity ,of our otherwise ample building was taxed beyond its limit, being mostly filled with the mothers and children of the vicinity the major ' ity of men in attendance having to Btand at door aim windows to catch - n-iimr.sa and hear - a - sound, a rare and pleasing feature of the occasion was a sumptlous feast of . Ice cream given free to the school, 10 gallons had been provided by ipatToiis and friends of the school I to allue the children up the steps w of learning. 4 The children of district were Served first, then fathers and moth crs came In for a share. .Indeed .the -tooth of the whole school was sufficiently sweetened before the supply exhausted.

CHSnSTOT AFFORD TO a: He school a social center, country life in America has been and is by far too much of a drudgery, hence the wild stampedo pf our youth, to the tinsel glare of city life, show the country boy and girl the refining deepening beauties of rural life and thla exodus will bo checked.
