BOOK RECEPTION DAY.
Fine Work Displayed--Two Hundred and
Sixty-one Books.


In the borough schools, and the people
who visited the schools were well pleas
ed with the reception and took delight
In examining the work done by the
pupils that was on exhibition for the
inspection Of the visitors. In the hall
down stairs streamer was stretched
from one wall to the other with the
word welcome" on it in large letters,
and on the floor under each end OF the
streamer was potted plant in bloom.
In the halls on the first and second
floors were tables, nicely covered with
cheese-cloth, on which was piled tablets
containing various kinds Of work done
by the pupils from the lowest to the
highest grades in the school. The walls
the school rooms were well covered with
maps and other drawings done by the
scholars. The name Of the pupil who
did the work was written upon each
piece. All the work was certainly well
executed, making allowance OF course,
for the grades of the pupils. On the
inside wall over the front door were
these words, "Thank you, come again. "
This is the first time the schools of
this place have ever had such depart
ure from the common every day routine
Of school life, and it was highly ap-
preciated and enjoyed by scholars, par
ents and friends. A large number Of
people attended the reception. Two
hundred and sixty-one excellent books
were added TO the school library as a
result of the reception. One of the
books given cost Sl2. Prof. Hillard
won the prize on the guess Of the num-
Der Of books. His guess was two hundred
and sixty books. The Professor put his
| guess in before one o'clock, as did all
the scholars. In fact some OF them hand
ed In their guesses the day before. The
visitors made their guess when they
gave their book
| Prof. Hillard and his assistants have
done excellent work this term and de-
serve great credit for the same. The
school board did not miss It when Prof.
Hillard was chosen as principal for the
borough schools. He has proven him
self capable of filling that position ac-
ceptably. Besides being scholar he
Is gentleman. II is likely that Prof.
Hillard does not please all the people,
he would be a remarkable man II he did
so. Yet he has the ability to manage a
school successfully.
Following is list of part Of the books
given with the name OF the giver. The
others will be published next week.
