The music was an especially Interesting
feature, and the pupils displIyed a very
high state OF proficiency. In the dialogues
the children spoke plainly and with anima-
ton, and each acted well their parts. The
German dialogue was as helrtily enjoyed
by the English-speaking part Of the audi
ence a. by those who understood the sweet
German accent. Miss Noise iecited "The
Curfew Bel" in Il very creditable manner.
| The programme was one OF real excellence,
was well rendered throughout, and the
young ladies were all the recipients Of floral
offerings and other merited tokens Of
recognition. Tie pupils at this institu-
tiOn, under The fostering care OF Mo-
ther Edith and very efficient corps
of assistants, have advanced greatly
during the first session, and the school to-
