GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
The Commencement exercises in the
Graded Schools are necessarily of wide
spread interest. The following pro-
grammes indicate that the exercises for
the coming week are not to fall below
those of last year. During the anniver-
sary week, June 1922, the programmes
printed below will be carried out as indi-
Gated. Those for the individual grades
will he rendered in the respective rooms
at 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, June
22nd. The parents especially are urged
to attend the exhibitions in the rooms.
There they will have an opportunity to
see their children take their parts under
the direction of the teacher. In many OF
the rooms interesting specimens OF
school work will be found. In some of
the primary schools handsome speci-
mems of manual industry in the way of
kindergarten work are to be seen. We
have not space to describe it. The work
should be seen, and even then few will
appreciate the painstaking industry re-
quired to produce even one of the hun
dreds of specimens.
Besides this several fine programmes
will be rendered in the hall, designed to
show what the schools are doing along
the lines of musical and literary culture.
On Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, an
exhibition will be given by the lnterme-
date schools, and on Wednesday after
noon at the same hour the Primary
schools will render one of the bost pro-
grammes of the week. On Thursday
evening ut 7.30 o'clock the class of '93
will appear before the public. 1t is
class of considerable ability, and one
that will try to sustain the reputation OF
| the school.
The examinations are being held this
week, and, in the grade schools al
though they are longer and more difficult
than in other years, the children take to
them kindly and indicate that they can
make as good showing in book knowl-
edge as they can in speaking and singing.
