OAKLAND is an attractive vicinity Just
now in its June dress of green, but yester-
day afternoon it was a central point OF in
terest to its residents and to people in gen.
eral, as it was the annual review at the
Belle field school, of which Miss NJ. A. Hun
ter is principal. 1t was almost floral fete,
for from the huge bouquet OF American
beauties resting in bed of buttercups,
which graced the Office table, the ropes Of
daisies hiding the chandeliers, to the lilies
and other flowers, Frightening every WIN
dow sill and pupils desk, the building was
mass o. fiowery bloom, and it looked as If
tine people of Oakland had given their chill
dren carte blanche in their cOnservatorfes
and gardens, so as to have their schooihouse
q regular bower of beauty. The children
presented the flowers afterward to the Chill
dren's Hospital on Forbes street. Each room
had a particular color. Arranged around
the rooms was a drawing exhibit, which re-
fleets great credit on Miss Laura Steele,
dra wing and writing teacher. Much regret
was expressed that Miss Knieps, OF the pri-
mary department., was un able through Ill
ness to be present.
THE announcement that q new inter-
mediate school for girls will be opened in
the autumn in Pittsburg will be received
with favor by many, who have lamented
great deficiency In this direction. The
syllabus is rather meager of specific det ails,
and leaves much to guess at of the plan OF
work. but the general aim is set out In
one sentence which announces that the
school will prepare girls for admission to
the freshman class of any college, or meet
the demand for completed education
where university course is not con-
templated. Four departments, academic,
intermediate, primary and kinder Sarten,
will compose the different schools. ana
all of them will be known collectively
as the Alinda Preparatory School. Mrs. E.
G. Stewart, Principal; Miss Miriam II. Brad
ley, Vassar College academic department.;
Miss Mary Swift Wright, Wellesley College,
intermediate department, form the faculty
at present incomplete. The Advisory Board
is: Mrs. Ross johnson, Mrs. w. j. Holland,
Mrs. Nelson Clark. Mrs. F. LeMoyne, Mrs.
Harvey Childs, Mrs. D. G. Stewart, Mrs.
Allen Wood, Mrs. Lawrence Diworth.
The Alinda school is to take possession OF
a fine large house at the corner of Fifth ave-
nue. and Craig street.
