schools.
The f%ortnigbtly exercises in the public
school have become a fixed institution, and
are doing no little good. Yesterdays was
a vast improvement over any heretofore
given, and all who participated evidently
devoted more time to the study Of their
subjects than they did on previous occa-
sions. As a consequence, all appeared to
better advantage, and it must have been
gratifying to the teachers to note the ia
vorable change, which was Of such a
marked character as to excite universal
comment. The department, too, Of tine
entire school was far better than during
any previous exhibition, a fact doubtless
due to the statement Of the teachers that
the names Of all unruly urchins would be
published in our columns. Happily there
was no occasion for such action, which
would have proved extremely Notifying
to the d~elinquents.
The exercises opened with a song by
Misses Lula Mccartney and Mary Ranft,
and both did remarkably well for young
ladies Of such tender years.
"ShOuld there be an educational limit
to the right Of suffrage, was then debated,
Masters A. L. Moore and Frank Gates
assuming the affirmative, and Masters
George Morrison and Lee George the neg
alive. A good many logical arguments
were advanced on either side, and those
present were left to decide the matter in
their own minds.
A duet, by Mrs. Hasten and Miss Lou
" H. -
stone and Charlie Geary detained.
The affair of the afternoon, however,
was a dialogue between Miss Fannie Steler
and Master Morton Johnson, both of
whom spoke and acted their parts perfectly.
The "School Gem was read by Miss
Lou Kobe and Miss Maggie Wethered.
They had taken a good deal Of care in it's
preparation, and spoke in a clear, distinct
manner that could be heard in any part of
the house. Unlike a former number, its
length was not calculated to put the audi
ence to sleep.
Christy Geraty, Lulu Lockwood and
Efie Webster followed with declarations.
and all three acquitted themselves credit
ably.
The dialogue of "a Mourning Store" in
which Masters Bert Hopkins, William Me-
Avoy and Henry Whiting, and Misses Lulu
Mccartney and Minnie Christopher took
part, was a comical affair, and put every
body in good hnmor. 1t abounded in wit
ty illusions, and Willie McAvoy did es-
pecially well.
"Mother in Heaven" was sweetly sung
by Minnie and Harry Schwamb.
Miss T;llie Steler recited the "Maniac"
with more force aud pathos than might
have been expected in one so young.
Amy Goldstone, an independent little
customer, who looked as if he didn't care
a continental for anybody, gave a spirited
defamation.
Elgin Travis, Lille Jones. George Bart
lett, Mamie Steler and Willie Geary did
unusually well.
Miss Florence Stowell recired Miss Ara
bella's Party in a manner that showed
that she possesses all the requisites Of a
good elocutionist.
Miss Hattie Capron's "Old Maid" was
excellent, and her makeup could not have
been better.
The recitation by the Misses Maude Par
DIV, Alice Johnson, Jennie Schneider, Clara
Batehelder, Gertie Wilson and Bella Nc
Cuaig, was pleasantly rendered.
Miss Mamie Steler did well with her
recitation Of GIVE Me Three Grains Of
Corn
Miss Emma LeBar sang Little Jessie"
very nicely.
Mr.. Scanland appreciates the weakness
of the SESTISEL's local, and so induced
Miss Pardy and Miss Kobe to sing their
duet of "There's a Sigh in the Heart,
Though the Lips May Be Gay " for which
we return thanks, and confess ouself I'M
der obligations to those ladies'.
