 Isinglass school, Miss Mary J. Park teacher, gave an open air entertainment, Wednesday evening". A platform was erected by G. H. Northrup and Rev W. I. Magill presided. The entertainment was opened with prayer by the Rev Mir Park. The program consisted of reeita- tions, dialogues and singing, in which the children have made rapid progress. A solo, "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" by Miss Maggie Weeks, showed natural talent as well as careful drill. A calisthenic drill was well conducted, the various movements being gracefully made in time with the mnsic. At the close, Mir Northrup, in behalf of the dis trict, presented fine picture of the school, the work of D. E. Edwards, nicely framed, to Miss Park as a token of appreciation and good will. Miss Park, in few pleasant words, thanked the donors and then invited all to re- treatments inside, generously provided by the ladies of the district and served by the bright little lasses, who also pre- sented favors of wild flowers to each guest. Miss Park is one of the few who are naturally gifted to teach, having the two requisites, patience and push. Road Master Brownson, with eXperi- enced helpers, has been polishing the Center streets.
