The school entertainment, at the OPP

one of the best in the history of those
popular annual exhibitions given by
the Dodgeville schools. The program
was more in accord with the capabili-
ties and requirements of the pupils
than usual, in that they were relieved
of the often too severe mental strain
in preparing for the occasion after a
nine months confinement to the theo-
retical regime Of their studies. The
program consisted of short songs, pan
tomimes, fancy drills, mimic bands,
and various other exercises that trans
ferred the labor of rehearsal from the
mental to the physical powers of the
children, and gave them surcease
from the mental drudgery. The opera
house was packed almost to suffoca-
ton, and the parts assigned to the
actors were all admirably performed.
