The Pilot Knob Public School Exhibition
and Picnic came of Saturday, according to
appointment. The order of the same was
about as follows: The school met at the
school house at 9 O'Clock; after arranging
the three grades, each under their respec-
tive banners, they marched to Front street,
where they sang a very beautiful and appro-
pirate song, entitled, "Our Public Schools;"
thence they marched to Kaths' grove, where
the seating and stage were arranged. Here
let us stop to say that the banners were very
pretty and showed the good taste of the la
dies who designed them. That of the Pri-
mary grade was red, trimmed with white
and hlnp hpar no M tSfo,, 1,yGf o,, -
that of the intermediate, white trimmed in
red and blue, with the motto, "Onward and
Upward;" the Advanced, blue, trimmed
with red and white, bearing the motto, 1--WE
Can and We WILL" The exercises in the
grove began with most appropriate song,
entitled, 'The Boy of No. TO-" followed by
salutatories, one by Gockel, of intermediate
grade, and the other by Freddie Irwin, of the
Primary; these were followed by "Wel-
come" recitation by pupils of the Interme-
date. Space will not admit Of a mention of
every exercise of the day. Among the dec
lamatiOns your reporter noted the following
as good: "When l Am a Man," by Guy Ar
mold; "The Boys" by Eddie Perry; "Little
Mischief" by Lulu Cunningham; "My Broth
er Jim,"by Theo. Rahlm; capt. Butterfly"
by Edna Dilts; 'When I was Young," by
Josie Neymeyr, and "Curfew," by Emma
kaths. A number Of good dialogues were

rendered We're: "The Kings SUPPER" by
Belle Craine, Elite Bebee, Maggie Birtley
and Susie Birtley; "Araminta Jenkins" by
Misses May Curtis, Lou Bebee, Annie Kaths
and Clara Gibson; "Boy's Rights" by Will

fer. The exercises closed with "Valetlic- |
tory" by Eddie Perry. An abundance of
dinner was served on the grounds by the |
parents, who showed great interest in the |
exercises. We would mention also that the |
children were favored with q very enjoyable |
treat of four boxes of sodawater, sent to the |
grove by Mr.. Henry Richter, Sr., as pres
ent to his son Henry, to be used by him as
treat to his companions and school fellows.
little mistake was made, by the party
bringing the same and not fully explaining
the matter. The day was hot, occasioning
some little restlessness on the part of pupils
and parents, but we Judge all was, in the
main. very pleasant. The teachers had con-
.emplated having a confectionery stand put
up and managed for the school, the profits
20 he expended for school organ, but con.
'ulting with the older citizens, they were
advised that it would not pay, and hence it
Vas abandoned.
