The Masonic district meeting met
here on Friday, Feb. u. Every
lodge in the district was represented
with full delegation, with perhaps
one exception. Work was exempli-
fed on the first degree by Mt. Norris
lodge in a very creditable manner, and
on the third degree by Mt. Vernon
lodge in a manner that made deep
impression on all who were present.
After work on the degrees an address
was given by Rev. Frank E. Healey,
''What Masonry is and should be"
The exhibition at the Academy Hall
was well attended and the long pro-
gramme received the closest attention.
Too much praise can not be given to
the speakers, who in term filled with
hard study have taken time for liter
airy work. All did remarkably well, and
there was not poor speaker among
the ten. 1t is not an easy task to be
natural in tone and gesture while on
the stage, yet these young people
succeeded in keeping themselves free
from mannerisms. The singing should
not be passed by without remarks.
IL was excellent.
Those of the A class in the Prima-
ry department at the Academy who
missed no words in spelling during
the winter term were Alice Glasheen,
Jessie Slayton, Mae Fisk, Florence
Livingston and George Story. The
number of words missed in the class
were, Leon Marvin four, Charlie Shell
don three, Horace Jackson six, Belle
Hawse and Josie Herrick one. Those
having no marks in the register were
Henry Cutting, Mamie Jackson, Guy
Cutler, George Champeau, Willie Ut
ton. Charlie Boynton was absent
one-half day and Florence Livingston
one day.
