their ride to the picnic grounds of Water

bright, happy faces full of eagerness
for the days pleasure. The teachers
were with their schools, with the one
exception of Miss Flint of school No. 6,
who, not caring to unite with the others,
had picnic at her school room with a
very few of the little ones too small tC
be permitted to go to the lake
To the efforts of the teachers
present the scholars owe much of theiI
pleasure. Special notice is due Irving
Jenny for providing for school No. l {
large picnic wagon from Brandon. The
lake being calm, the children enjoyed
boating to their hearts content. A
