SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS IN OUR NEIGH
BORING COUNTY.
Closing Exercises at the Sisters College
at Woodiand-An Afternoon With
Washington Pupils.

The beautiful and healthful CITY of
| woodland is possessed of many attrac-
tons, prominent among which are its ex-
celient educational facilities, public and
| private. At the head of the latter stands
the Holy Rosary Academy, conducted BY
the Sisters of the Holy Cross, an Order
noted for its success in the education of
young ladies and fitting them for the re-
sponsibilities of life and the duties of So
ciety, that on entering the world they may
be morally and intellectually equipped to
| take their places in any station of life to
which they may be called The institu-
ton is thoroughly Catholic but, while the
greatest attention is paid to the instruction
| OF Catholic children in the faith of that
church, the religious opinions of pupils are
respected, and no attempt at proselytism is
made. while the inculcation OF Christian
lily and morality is made q prime object
| to all.
The academy stands in the midst of ex-
tenslye grounds laid out in lawns, flower
oeds, walks, and adorned with summer
| houses and pleasant groves. The most
scrupulous neatness, cleanliness and order
| IS SINE qua non at the academy In each
department, while every attention has
been paid to the sanitary arrange
ments. Lavatories and bathrooms are
attached to the sleeping apartments,
which are roomy and well VENT.
| lated. The house is lighted by gas. and
steam will this year be introduced through
| out. The school halls, studio. library.
parlor and vestibule have recently been
deliberately frescoed. With screen doors
and windows, nothing has been neglected
which can conduce to the physical health
and happiness OF its pupils. A full course
OF studies is not obligatory, and MANY
avail themselves of the opportunities af.
| forded to take up special branches. such as
music, painting, drawing, elocution, phon.
ography and typewriting, for which there
are specially qualified teachers and every
facility for improving the pupils.
The academy has met with full mea-
sure OF success as was proved BY the late
art exhibit and the musical and literary
entertainment of the closing exercises
The spacious studio was opened to the
public for four days, during which the
room was filled with visitors who were
continuous and unanimous in their ex-
pressions of admiration.
The musical and literary entertainment;
took place in the Opera House, which was
filed with interested spectators. The first
days programme was carried out entirely
by the junior and preparatory classes. and
class OF little boys under y wears of age
The ease and grace with which each pre-
sented bis or herself. and the rounds of
applause which greeted many of the num-
bers, proved that the little ones had COM
pletely captivated the audience. When II
was remembered that many of the Young
performers on the various instruments had
been pursuing their musical studies only
during the past year, the expression and
time they displayed was wonderful, and
showed that beginners in the art are not
neglected for more pretentious pupils.
On the second day the following pro-
gramme with its classic numbers was faith
fully carried out by the senior Young
ladies', to the delight of an appreciative and
expectant audience:
