The concert given by Miss Ogle's mu-

than good. The piano solo by Miss Kahn

were we'll rendered. Miss Niles is very
pleasing accompanist. In fact 1t was all
good. but our time and space is limited
this morning, and much that should re-

the good work she has done towards inl-
proving the musical talent in our com.
munity.
On Monday afternoon we visited the
schools to witness the instructions given
to the scholars by Mrs. Durkee, in read
ing, elocution, Delsart exercises and mil
itary movements. The exercises were
given Monday afternoon to Miss Sher-
woods and Miss Forsters departments,
IN Miss Sherwood's room, aud consisted
of reading by the schools, exercises of
the arms, body and limbs, exhaling and
inhaling the breath. exercises in reading
and pronouncing difficult sentences. Dur
ing the reading exercises we were forci
bly, struck with the accent and remarka-
BILE correctness with which each scholar
spoke his words. That they have had
good instructions is evidenced by the
good work they did during the afternoon.
Mrs. Durkee and the teachers. Misses
Sherwood aud Forster, are dong good
work. and their pupils will rise up in
after years to bless them for their pains
taking. Mrs Durkee has finished her
course of lessons with the school and it
is with regret that the teachers and pu-
pills part, with her. We never saw better
discipline in school room than was
maintained during the whole afternoon
and both teachers and scholars are EMIT
led to credit.
