Miss Fosters Kinderoarten

The announcement that Miss Foster
with her little people would celebrate
the "Frebel festival attracted a good
sized audience of parents and friends
at Sunday School room of the Court
street NJ. f. church this morning, and
the exercises which continued from
nine O'Clock to twelve. were of char
acter which delighted the audience
and reflected much credit upon the in
structor. The class numbers about
twenty and the interest they manifest
in their work and the proficiency with
which it is accomplished shows that
the German founder of the children's
garden school possessed not only love
for children but also sympathetic
heart and appreciative mind. Miss
Foster is peculiarly adapted to the
Kindergarten work; she has a genial,
sunny face and patient disposition,
which wins the child heart and capti-
Yates the little minds at sight. She is
entitled to the support and encourage
ment of GAINESVILLE people to large
degree. The object teaching which
enters largely into the Kindergarten
instruction is the most helpful of any
feature in aiding child to compre-
bend and acquire knowledge. Miss
Foster is ably assisted in her work by

young Co. Supt. mentioned by various
correspondents through the county as
suitable candidate for the assembly.
John is an intelligent, wide-awaBe
young fellow, with a well balanced
brain and possesses all the elements

almost entirely unknown in this local

as Supt. of Schools has gained him
many warm friends who would be
proud to have him represent them at
Madison during the coming session of
the legislature.
Oak Grove needn't swell up and put
on airs just because it has a brass
band in an inclpient stage of develop
ment. Clifton has not been in the
habit of taking a back seat for any
town in Pierce Co. in matters of pub
lie nature, and Clifton proposes to
have a brass band too. The boys in
the south part of town held little in

resolved to organize right away. On
