superintendent Hart Talks to Pupils
Patriotic Songs, Recita-
tions, Drills, Etc.

teenth anniversary of the nations birth
yesterday in fitting manner. The en-
tertainment given consisted of recitations,
| dialogues and songs suggestive of patriot
ism, and those who took part acquitted
themselves creditably. Each number
was freely applauded, but when little
Fred. Blanchard gave "Hezekiah Stub
bins Grafton the big assenbIy-room
shook with applause. The floor of the
! platform was covered with handsome
nlaroon-colored carpet, and an elegant
new flag was draped as curtain on the
window to the right of the stage. The
walls and ceiling of the large room had
! been recently tinted, which added ma
terially to its pleasing appearance.
Superintendent Hart made an eloquent
address at the close of the exercises. In
concluding he said: well, children, /
4 had thought, on account of the very warm
and uncomfortable weather we have had
this week, to give you q vacation this
! afternoon"
A burst of applause from the excited
/ pupils interrupted the speaker for several
minutes, but when quiet was restored
Mr.. Hart, smiling, continued:
But the weather being so pleasant to-
day / think you had better stay at
/ SCHOOL,
The countenances of the pupils under
! went sudden change at this announce
ment, and there were muitied sounds Of
"Oh, Mr.. Hart!"
/ Finally the good-natured Superintend-
ent weakened and promised that if the
school would give three strong cheers for
the glorious Fourth he would give them
the vacation.
