diate and Primary Departments of the
Public school took place yesterday after
noon at the school building. Despite
the warm weather a goodly number OF
school patrons were in attendance. The
pupils of the Wasdworth Indian school
were interested spectators and will bear
the occasion in mind when their exer-

was the Flag salute, an exercise tending
to encourage. patriotism, as was the
song by the school uhich followed.

Ian, Edith Murray, BERTHE Yeargin,

framing the welcome. Mabel Muir

a moral to show that ciphers at their
posts are of account Clyde Lewis fol-
lowed with "Kittens and Babies a
story of a %youngster who thought babies
shonld meet the fate commonly melted
out to kittens.
The succeeding number was a well
rendered motion sony Fourth of July"

drums and tirecrackes and torpedoes.

gave a song and recitation 1.-The Young
Tyro." Ada Gladding gave 1.-THE Town
Gossip" which contained many good
hints and was well rendered. Ben Pol

Wanda and Clarence Esden gave a dia-
logue in which Clarence gave reasons
why he wouldn't be a girl aud Wanda
gave hers why she wouldn't be a
boy. OF course we believe Clarence had
the best of it and the young ladies pres
ent 20 agreed. Gertie Pike recited 1.-THE
Dolls Mission in a very cute way. FL
mo Finley, Lottie Houston, Albert
Lothrop, Nellie Porter, Nellie Forrest

the audience agreed with him. Little
Helpers" was the next number and it
was well recited by Stella Hyde, Nell
Forrest and Ida Conkey. Next, a duet,
"Sweet Birds by Winnie Ross and
Florence Forrest, two very sweet little
song birds. The characters were very
appropriate and the little ones were
heartily a~pplauded. The Best Way"
was recited well by Eta Webb. Eddie
Givan recited "Our Dog" 1t was the
ordinary dog. Charles Curtis, Paul
Spidel, Lyle Shepley, Paul Crosby,
Robert Hyde and Frank Campbell were
good weather Signals" and the piece
was entertaining and instructive. A
recitation IA Teacher" by Jessie Weav-
err, was the next number and she I'M
doubtedly knows a teacher or two. Gen
evieve Donelin recited .'The Potter's
Secret" very nicely. The Glass Prophet,
1907" by Ada billiard was good work

Our Flag by Donald Linton, Harry
Huston, Charlie Wiley, Albert Lothrop
and Fred Pollock, was a short history of
Old Glory and its Specification. The
exercises closed with a vacation song
and it is needless to say it was sung
with much spirit and as ii the the boys
