GRADED SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.

D, 1892.
GRADED SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.
The following programmes will be
carried out by the various Departments
of the Graded school during the Ami
versary week, June 13th-17th. Those
| for the grade schools will be rendered
in the various rooms at o'clock on Fri
day afternoon, June 18th. The people
of the village, especially parents and
| friends of the children, are cordially in
vited by the trustees, superintendent and
teachers to attend these exercises. In
various rooms some creditable specimens
of youthful industry in the way of Kin
dergarten work will be shown. The
work has come to be such feature of
the school, and the people are coming to
understand its Importance so well that
little need be said. The work will speak
for itself to all who will examine it.
Besides this there will be exercises in
the hall on Wednesday afternoon by the
intermediate schools and on Thursday
afternoon by the Primary schools. On
| Friday evening the regular graduating
exercises will occur, and it should be
said here also that on Tuesday evening
there will be grand concert by the Ex-
celsior quartette of Troy
1t is impossible on such occasions to
show the public what the children have
done in arithmetic, reading and spelling.
The children are, however, as proficient
in these things as they are in speaking
and in singing and nothing would please
the teachers better than an opportunity
to show to parents how well the children
can do the solid work of the school.
