Programme OF Exercises and List OF
Fancy work Exhibits.
There are few prettier sights at any
time, than that presented by number
of children assembled together to take
part in any amusement or concerted ex-
ercise; but this effect is still further
enhanced when, as was the case yester-
day morning at the Sisters School, on
the corner OF Macy and Alameda streets,
the whole body is composed Of little
girls, ranging from 5 years OF age up
wards, each arrayed in spotless white
garments, fitting emblems of the inno-
cence and simplicity Of childhood. No
one could look upon the smiling faces OF
the participants as they go through their
various evolutions with proud bearing
aud flashing eyes on this, perhaps, the
most momentous day Of their young
lives, without being reminded Of the
time when he or she was wont to parti-
cipate in just such closing exercises at
the old schoolhouse, now, alas far away,
and almost forgotten in the midst OF the
worries and cares Of everyday life.
There is no more deserving institution in
this city than the asylum Of the Sisters of
Charity for female children. II was
founded in 1856, and it has at the pres
ent time some two hundred inmates.
Besides these, there are quite two hum
dred day scholars at the school in connec-
ton with the asylum, and under the able
management Of Sister Superior Mary
Josephine, its affairs are in a prosper
GUS condition. All branches Of modern
education are included in the course OF
study, and, judging by the samples OF
fancy work on exhibition in the hall OF
the building, special attention has been
paid to this branch Of education. The
annual closing exercises of the school
were held in the pavilion in the grounds,
which was most tastefully decorated for
the occasion with evergreens Of all de-
scriptions, and the structure was crowd
ed with visitors, and friends OF the
pupils.
The following programme was admir-
ably rendered, and each number was
vigorously applauded by the audience !;
