The new school building, located in
southeast Washington, was set apart, No
vember Sth, by suitable ceremonies for
school purposes.
Col. H. B. Maynard, President of the
Board of Education, who made a very
happy presentation speech took occasion,
with the cheerful consent of the pupils,
to name the new building s'Sunny Side
Hail." BY this name it will be known in
all the future of its noble mission.
1t is proper here for the Superintend-
ent to say, that the new building is 4
thing of beauty, and no doubt, will ever
be JOY to the children who may frequent
its spacious rooms. It's equipage and ap-
paratus are all inviting. There is ample
opportunity for handsome yard, and
when beautiful shrubbery and cheerful
flowers grace its sloping front, the citi-
zens of that part of the city will have
: just cause to congratulate themselves,
and will, we doubt not, render due thanks
to their generous and working Board OF
Education.

ings, we may note, that recently, some
