Thousands of people enjoyed the
grand concert given by the 800 pupils
OF the st. Paul public schools at the
Grand opera house last evening. 1t
was an event which the children will
never forget and the parents will hold
in fond rem embrance. Probably no
person who witnessed the entertain
ment has spent a more pleasant evening
at the opera house since the last closing
of the schools. 1t was not only credit
able to the participants, but to the
teachers who prepared them for the
event.
Little things hardly able to talk plain
English came out on the stage and did
their work like professionals. Prof. G.
ii. COngdOn directed the singers in the
various classes. For what he performed
he deserves the commentator of the
parents OF those who took part. The
entertainment was purely a musical
one, except All exhibition i'll caliSthenicS
by number of SCHOLARS under the direc-
ton of Mrs. K. Deacon, and an infantry
drill for which the participants had been
trained by Mrs. r. Zahonyi and
Miss Maude Hall. Both OF these
were as creditable to teacher and scholar
as they were appreciated and applauded
by the audience. With the classes whose
members ranked highest in age and
grade to those who wore little dresses
and caps almost as heavy as themselves,
the work was open to laudatory re-
marks. The song of Miss Ruby Bridges
was especially worthy of mention. Her
voice shows compass that many pro-
fessionals might envy with good cause.
She caught the audience before she
