The exhibition given by the Saco street school
last Frnay evening was q perfect success. The
exercises, consisting of dialogues, declamations,
reading aud singing, showed that hard work
had been done by both teacher and pupils. In
a few remarks the teacher, Mr. l. J.. Elder, eX-
planned the causes which led to the exhibition,
stating no part had been prepared during school
hours, and that no single recitation had been
omitted in consequence of the entertainment.
We were credibly informed this has been one
of the most successful terms this district has
had for a number of years. Mr.. Elder, though
reserved and retiring in his manner, carries into
the school room an energy equalled by few and
surpassed by none. A stern disciplinarian, yet
he knows how to gain the confidence and es-
teen of his pupils Realizing the advantages
of an education himself, he succeeds il. awak-
ening an interest in those under his instruction.
A thorough Instructor, he makes the pursuit OF
knowledge pleasant to his pupils by careful and
judicious explanation and encouragement We
are glad to hear efforts will be made to secure
his services for another term y

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

There are but few of our readers who would
not like to acquire rapid and beautiful hand
writing, for there is no one accomplishment SO
highly priced as this. The business colleges OF
the country have afforded the best instruction
in this branch and have succeeded in producing
the most accomplished penmen. The best
penman in America to-day is Prof. GAsKELL,
President of the Bryant and Stratton College Of
Manchester, N. III. There are few lovers of
the beautiful art of penmanship who have not
heard of this'wonderful penman and many have
seen specimens Of his skill. His large specimens
have attracted great attention in New York
CITY and throu ghout the country where they
have been placed on exhibition.
He is now engaged day and night sending
out Copies for self-instruction, which he writes
himself expressly for applicants, so that any
one can learn to write at the home fireside.
These contain full printed instructions, and are
put up in large heavy envelopes and sent by
mail prepaid for 100 per package. They are
all numbered aud SO fully explained that no
one can fail to learn rapidly from them. They
have been ordered by thousands-not by poor
writers alone, but by the leading teachers of
penmanship throughout the United States and
Canada Our readers would do well to write
for package, as nothing so complete, beanti-
ful and useful for self-instruction will ever
! again be offered them
