SCHOOL SCRAPS.


Yesterday.
The scholars in Mrs. wendell's room
showed remarkable proficiency in spelling
yesterday.
The Trustees have not decided where
they will locate the new school house, but
appear to favor the hill bach OF the Atlas
works.
Mrs. A. E. Kaye is an applicant for the
position of additional teacher. The selec-
| ton would be a good one, as she filed the
place acceptably heretofore.
Miss Hardy's roll, for the past week, con-
tanned the names of Isabel Daneke, Dan
Frank, Comfort Anderson, Jennie Atwood,
and Fannie Steler.
Isabel Daneke has been enrolled on Miss
Hardy's roll of honor for three weeks. Is
abel not only excels in department, but is
a close and attentive scholar, and, on Mon
day, will be promoted to Miss Atwood's
room.
The following names appeared on Mrs.
Atwood's roll of honor yesterday Amelia
| Abrigo, Eta Gallagher, Lizzie Hickey,
Mary Carilla. Olive Diamond, Lucy Ander-
son, Mamie Coonan, Joe Bowers, Charlie
Geary and Robbie Smith.
Miss Fannie Steler, in Miss Hardy's
room, is one Of the sweetest and most lady
like little damsels to be found in the whole
school. Miss Fannie and the S~ENTINEL's
local a formed q mutual admiration So
| ciety, to which not even her teacher is ad-
mittod.
Several visitors attended the various de-
partments yesterday, to hear the recita-
tions. We are pleased to note this. At
best, the position Of teacher is q hard
one, and they should receive every en-
~couragement from parents.
The idea Of having a roll OF honor, in
which the names Of those who excel in gen.
eral good conduct should appear, has
proven a good one, and the scholars in
Mrs. Atwood's and Miss Hardy's depart
ments, outvie each other in their efforts to
SECURE the coveted honor. 1t has added
greatly to the efficiency Of both depart
ments.
The exercises. in Mr.. Scandland's depart
ment yesterday consisted of a duet, sung
by the Misses Kobe and Pardy, and was
| given in the usual good style of these young
ladies'. Liberty Bell,"a defamation by
Frank Gates, proved q surprise to those
b heard it, and who did not imagine he
possessed such elocutionary powers as he
exhibited. Betsy and / Are Out was
read by Miss Maggie Wethered, and GLOW
Betsy and l Made Up" by Miss Lizzie
Corbctt. Both ladies read in we'll modu-
lated tones, and showed, what readers
rarely do, that they appreciated the senti-
ment contained in the lines. Charley
Stowell followed with a defamation, which
did justice to himself and his teacher. A
dialogue came next, in which Christy
Geraty, Charley Davenport and Thomas
Rickard participated. 1t was quite an
amusing affair, and Master Richard
filled the role Of Justice very creditably.
Davy Jones defamation. entitled "Our
Grandfather" was amusing and well de-
livered. Annie Geary gave a selected read
ing. 1t was well delivered, and fully sus-
tanned her reputation. II Miss Lou Kobe
could, in private, give such a Caudle lee
ture as she did yesterday in public. we
wouldn't envy the man who may at some
future day share her fortunes. She entered
into it with a zest that ought to be followed
by all others. Miss Lou is an amiable
young lady, however, and we know she
didn't mean it. "Snowstorm," by Miss
Maud Pardy, proved that young lady to be
an excellent reader. The reading OF the
"School Gen" followed. 1t showed a marked
improvement over the previous number.
1t was read by Misses Edith Moore and
Grace Pardy, both of whom acquitted
themselves creditably. Miss Minnie Buck
ham then favored the school with a pa
thetic poem, entitled Drafted" which
carried us back to the days when such
things as she so graphically described ex-
listed in reality. Misses Kobe and Pardy
then sang a duet after which, Mrs. Whit
ton and Mrs. Brooks delighted the schol.
airs with some fine music. This is the first
time any assistance has been given Mr..
Scanland by outside parties, and the
scholars showed their appreciation Of the
kindness Of those ladies by giving them a
