The work of grading the schools in
town Is in progress, and as quickly as
possible the schools In Andover will be
run on the graded system Of an eight
years course In the grammar schools.
The grammar department at che village
will be known as the high school. where
those wishing TO take the higher
branches can have the privilege to do
so. Competent teachers will be in
charge, so no one need 60 away TO take
an academic course. We hope by the
close of the school year to fully estab-
lish a system of school privileges equal
to any in the state. OF course 1t takes
time TO do this, and parents must not
feel disappointed to find their children
In lower grade than anticipated, for
they will be put just where they belong
high or low.
The Universslist fair, as stated last
week, was a decided success, socially
and financially. The hall WAS beauti-
fully decorated with evergreens. The
lower hall was divided by row Of ever
green trees. On the left az you enter
was the banquet hall, where was served
in style becoming the occasion the menu.
On the right was the ice cream parlor,
where an abundance of cool and dellci-
Gus cream was served. The stairway
leading to the upper hall was trimmed
with evergreens, and as you entered the
hall YOU could but wonder nj the beauty
and exquisite taste OF those who had the
matter in charge. Around the hall were
stationed at equal distances six booths,
where every thing was for sale that
human Imagination could invent.
Thanks are due those who so kindly as
sisted in the undertaking, from out OF
the society. May they look back upon
this event In after years as one Of the
pleasant epochs in their life's history.
