The closing exercises before the Christ.
mas holidays came off at the Seminary on
Thursday, Dec 22nd, and the rooms were
will filed by an appreciative audience.
Prot. Legare, at the beginning, stated that
the time of the pupils had not been taken
up for special preparation and that the ex
ercises would be simply rehearsal of the
regular Friday afternoon recitations.
The performance OF the pupils gave evil
dence of rapid progress in eocution and
music, and the audience was delighted with
the proficiency exhibited by even the little
fellows from the Primary Room. Miss An
ME Hair, who has charge of this room, evil
IDENTIFY possesses great talent for impartng
instruction as well as for governing her
little band Of beginners by gaining their
love and respect. Miss Selma HAIR
piano pupils gave evidence of careful in
struction. AMI the accuracy with which even
pieces of some difficulty were performed by
young pupils promise well for great success
in future
We are glad to learn that number of
new scholars were added 10 the roll this
week and that this Seminary of learning
is meeting with the success it deserves. Ii
is expected that public exhibition will be
given by the school before long in some
larger hall, so that all who wish may enjoy
the pleasure of seeing what good is being
accomplished in our midst.
