| Superintendent Binford, MeasTs. Manly,
fStraus, and Moses, of the City School Board,
and representatives Of the press, visited the
schools, andi were there entertained by dia-
logues, deciamations, reading, aud singing
strting with the groups OF schools in the
Valley. The Navy Hill schools were then
visited, the closing exercises and the distnbu-
| ton of awards being held in EbeHezer
church, as the accommodation was INSULT
cient at the school proper for so usany chill
drcn. There was a large attendance at the
church. the galleries and other por-
tions of the building being filled with the
| friends of the pupils. Rev. Dir. Holmes
opened the exercises with prayer; after
which addresses were made BY Messrs.
Manly and Binf0rd, and the Fortunate ones
were the recipients Of weli-merited honOrs
at the hands of Mr.. Binford, who had been
deputed to make the presentations.
| From Ebenezer church the Baker-Steet
| schools were visited, and the medals and di-
ploTnas given to the anxious little ones. This
ended the mornings work. Before the
awards were made here, however, Superin-
tendent Binford informed Mr.. Crump, the
principal mt this school, that be had been
deWlted by the assistant teachers to present
| him with the set of shirtbuttons which he
held in his hand rs a testimonial Of tlieiraIr
probation. Dir. Cr,imp appeared to betakeA
completely by surprise. Holding the glitter
| ing present in bis hand, he declared that lie
had once before been called ON to make a
| presentation address, but he hardly knew
what to say upon receiving so handsome an
| Offering. 1t was gracefully done, howevef,
even though he had no other warning than
Mr.. Binford's announcement.
