The Misses Dugan q Valleys schoo
room, on Friday evening last, was the scent
of pleasing and interesting performance
The young ladies' of the Institute, many
scarcely in their "teens" rendered in mos
charming manner the juvenile play of Gin
derella. The parts were well cast and tn,
ease and correctness with which they per
formed their respective parts gave evidenc,
of care and study. Whilst some may thnl
that these exhibitions detract from the regu
lar duties of the school room, we can bu
be impressed with the fact that they have
their advantages. They tend to impart con
fidence and the pupils generally return t.
their books as from play, invigorated anC
refreshed. The after-piece, "Aunt Jemima'i
Courtship," was most charmingly rendered
We refrain from particularizing, for the rea
son that all deserve praise.
