Miss shapard's Closing Exercises.

The closing exercises Of Miss Sal
lie Shapard's Cottage School, which
came off at Antoinette Hall last Fri
day night, were witnessed by a very
large audience, who gave frequent
and unmistakable evidences of APP
proval and appreciation. The uni
versal expression was that n better
entertainment was never Witnessed
in Pulaski, taking into considera-
ton the fact that 1t was given alto
gether by little children. Their
Rotations and dialogues and decla-
nations and songs and instrumen
tai renditions were simply perfect,
and they gave the highest proof
that the teacher had done well her
part in the various departments of
her school, and that she not only
possessed the happy faculty of i'm
parting information and training
the little minds to think for them
selves, but had inspired their hearts
with love for her and confidence in
themselves. Her slightest wish has
been law to them, and no trial or
task was ever too burdensome If
the performance of il was necessary
to secure her approval. 1t was not
surprising then that they played
their parts well Friday evening.
The programme was judiciously
arranged, was made up with the
most appropriate selections, the
casts were happily made and the
whole was rendered with grace,
ease and dispatch.
The next term of the "Cottage
School, will be announced in the
CITIZEN in due time. All who de-
sire to enter their children are re-
quested to send in their names at
an early day. Though there is am
pie room in the hall, the desks are
limited, and it may be necessary to
add to the number. Miss Shapard
will be absent several weeks, but
during that time Mr.. McCor1 will
receive and enter names on the roll.
No boys received over ten years of
age.
