Immediately after Smith applied for per-

ger there with his school.
After eating dinner all enjoyed
themselves playing ball, croquet, etc.
Mr.. Hotter informed us that two more
schools we're coming In the afternoon.
j. B. McClure's school of about 65
pupils arrived at 1880. There were in
all about l50 children present. A liter
ary program was go arranged at noon
that the different schools might take
part. This was rendered during the
afternoon by the children and was
enjoyed by all,
The program was interspersed with
music and the walls OF Dillon school
house echoed to the merry voices OF
the children. After a short recess Mr.
Hotter announced that as there were
i've visiting pedsgogues present he
expected all of them to have something
to say. Declarations were given by
G.. W. Scholl, Miss Herren and Miss
Bohanon and interesting speeches by
Messrs. ,Eichelberger, Mcclure and
Hotter. Each gave good talk respect
ing school work and our duties ant
responsibilities as teachers and pupils
Some of the patrons of Mr.. Hol'er's
school who were present also CAV,

After singing and prayer the gather
