training and reciting gave evidence
of bidding taste and growing Inter
est VZ literary culture. Proper
drill in elocution would surely de
velop in them a love of good litera
ture and skill in English composi
tion. The season for the exhibit was all
t Lhat could be desired. It ia the
pleasant month of May, the time of
song, bird and flowers. At niglt
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 kindly laid fhe
dust; the stars besprinkling the
heavens, but friendly light to the
attending crowd and the refreshing
air stirred Just enough to put the
ans out of commission.
The interior of the room pre-
" seated a very attractive appear
ance. Two days had been spent
, the decoration. Many willing
hands during this period of time
had given timely and tasteful as
sistance. The beautifully ar
ranged rostrum, the central object

wreathes of evergreens cedar,
flowers, and pictured walls, resent-

w 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. mSjor
Ity of men In attendance having to
' -stand at door and windows to catch
at glimpse and hear a sound. A
rare an pleasing feature of .the
occasion was a sumptious feast of
1ce cream given free to the school,
30 gallons had been provided by
.trona and friends of the school
' to allue the children up the steps

' The children of district were
served first, then fathers and moth

'the tooth of the whole school was
sufficiently sweetened before the
