The Close OF THE PuBIIc Schools.
Last Friday was the closing day
of the eight months Term of ,epr
public schools. The exercises took
place in-the Principals room at the
Academy The attendance of Wis
TORS was the largest ever assembled
in our school rooms, which showed
that the parents were taking amore
decided interest in the public schools
than they have heretofore, and of
this one fact we are proud. The
Principal and his Assistants are en-
titled to great credit for the pro-
ficiency to which the pupils in all
the rooms have been brought. The
length of the programme, which we
desired to publish in full, prevents
us from making extended comments
upon matters pertaining our public
schools. If our schools can be
brought to such proficiency with our
present lack of school room, what
may we not expect when our new
and connections building is ready
for occupancy?
There has been but little COM
plant made by the patrons of the
school, and this of itself is COM
pliment to the Principal and the as
sistant teachers. All our teachers
are able and thorough teachers, who
throw their whole souls into their
work.
The auxilliary schools taught by
Miss Ada Gilmore, and Mrs. Ida
Smith, held their examinations on
the Thursday preceding; and the
work of the term showed up well,
and reflected great credit upon these
ladies as teachers
The following is the programme
as arranged for the occasion, and
was beautifully and gracefully ex-
ecnted, without timidity on the part
of any of the pupils We do not
want to be fulsOme or to single out
anyone for special remark, where all
did their part so well, and to the de-
light of all who had the pleasure of
being present.
