THE PUBLIC
A Most CreditabIe Showing Of the
LabOrs of the Teachers During
the Fiscal Year Just Ended.

; day for the Summer vacation. All Thurs
day and yesterday morning were devoted
to scholastic examinations. The progress
made during the past yee- by the pupil
was marked and more than satisfactory 1,
the trust es and parents present. All o
the teachers received congratulations OF
the results OF their patient and esrnes
work, and the general sentiment expressed
YVES that the present corps is the best th'
public schools here have had in MANI
years. The several classes OF the schools
and Q number of individual pupils re-
membered their teachers at the close Of the
morning examinations by presents Of vari'
Gus kinds, and while they were glad thai
vacation was at hand they were slow to
confess il when the severing Of their
school relations were mentioned. Among
the presents giy en- were: To Mrs. Atwood
from GLASS A Of her room, o card receiver
and Q pair of beautiful vases. The pre-
sentation was made by Jennie Dunkle.
Mrs. Atwood was also the recipient Of q
very handsomely bound autograph album
from Mamie Shoemaker. Miss Riley re-
ceived a silk handkerchief and q case of
perfumes. Miss Plumstead received q per-
fume pouch, and Miss ODER
was presented with 0 couple Of elegant
silk handkerchiefs. The receiving OF
| presents from pupils was discountenanced
by one or two Of the teachers, bat IL ar
peared as though the love for them on the
part Of the little ones had TO be satisfied
with something material, and the reform
movement, was, as q consequence, ig-
nored.
Yesterday afternoon was devoted TO
rhetorical and musical exercises, the par
Elephants being representatives of all the
rooms in the building. Al l O'Clock every
available seat in the large hall was filled,
and many were obliged to stand. Among
