Several times the audience loudly cheered
at the close Of some beautiful song or some
we'll delivered speech. At one time the cheer
ing grew 80 loud that the principal requested
the people TO be quiet lest the children be-
come excited and forget their pieces.
The calisthenic exercises at the close OF the
entertain ment were specially good. the anvil
chorus being quite an attractive feature.
Prof. Cork, ably assisted by Mrs. q. NJ. An
derson, has certainly done good work for
Ninety-Six In the education Of her youth and
we presume their services will be secured
another year.
The success of the pupils in carrying out so
acceptably the program as given above not
only reflects much credit upon the teachers
and pupils, but upon the parents and citizens
as we'll, who did much towards making the
occasion one of both pleasure and profit to
all.
Prof. Cork announced that there would be 9
basket picnic in the grove on the morrow and
that everybody was invited. He regretted
that Hon. Geo. tombstone would not be able to
deliver an address rs advertised, business
necessitating bis absence, but that home tai
ent would be secured.
Today at IL o'clock Rev. M. M. Rrabhaul
made short address on education.
He said in all ages education had received
tans the youths were developed physically
and he who could deXferousiy throw speer
or handle lance was considered educated
This was purely physical education and IN
later ages the MUD received culture and
when IL alone was educated smart but not
useful men we're produced. The true educa.
tion is the proper omhination OF physical
development, education OF the mind aud ed
ucatlon of the heart. He placed special stress
upon the importance OF early training dur
Ing the more active and plastic period o
life,
Rev, Thomas Carroll spoke in compliment
tary terms of the Ninety-Six High School
and congratulated the community In having
been SO fortunate In securing the services o.
such efficient teachers. He said he himself
would not send his children TO a teacher who
was not q Christian.
Col. James H. Rice said he was we'll pleased
with the entertainment the evening before
He knew all the children In the town and u
was a matter OF deep Interest to him to note
the development OF each one OF them. HI
had watched with considerable interest the
little boy who has been driving for severa
years the COW up and down the road. In facl
the littlo lad become bis friend. He dwelt Al
some length upon the physical culture OF the
young women Of the State. What he desires
most to see Is training which will develops
the youth OF the country into noble man
hood and womanhoOd. He advocates 6
change In the management OF the Ninety-Sl1
School. Arrangements he said were on foo
by which an amount wi be raised by private
Subscription which in addition TO the county
and special town tax will enable the trustees
10 admit to the school free OF tuition all the
chiIdrpn In the neigh hbOrhOO0.
