could not fail to prove Of interest and
gise pleasure. And all this the pro-
gsammes we give below will emphati-
cally disclose.
One eccentricity OF our Graded
School is the fact that all the teachers
are young, bright and beautiful ladies,
save the Superintendent himself, Pro-
fessor Watkins, from which it looks
very much like the ayocation of Othello
or Ichabod Crane was about gone in
the role of school teacher. These
teachers, of the several grades are:
First, Miss Mary Miller; Second, Mrs.
DR.. h. X. Aiken; Third, Miss Hattie Ro-
land; Fourth, Miss jamie Rivers; Fifth,
Miss Beatrice Yeargin; Sixth, Mrs.
DIR. Henry Martin; Seventh, Miss Per-
rim Farrow; Eighth, Miss Mary Dunk
lin; Ninth, Prof, j. b. Watkins.
One of the happy features of the
school is the music department at the
head of which is Mrs. Guy S. Garrett,
o teacher of large experience, and
the delightful performance of her class
on Wednesday evening evidences her
fitness for this position.
1t was on Wednesday evening that
the programme was broken into by the
presentation Of q handsome jewel on
the part of Mrs. Garrett to little Miss
Lillian Jameson, in recognition of the
devotion of the little lady to this beau
tiful art.
For excellence and great promise
evinced we might instance numbers
among the little ladies and youth who
played their parts on the several even
ings, but we forbear where all ac-
quilted themselves so handsomely.
The programmes as follow will give
an idea Of the standard of the acquire
ments of the pupils and the progress
they arc making:

Then was rendered the most inter-

Sixth Grade it was ever our pleasure
to behold. They were our assisted by
children of the Fourth and Fifth
Grades. A group of children chap
in the forest glades. They eventually

planets. With these they have most
pleasant interchanges. Finally they
find a little Gypsy girl, and this is the
sweetest part Of all. After u "Good
Night" sons everything closes almost
as pretty as "As You Like It." All
throughout is appropriately inter-
spersed with charming music. The
final tableau was beautiful.
The audiences Of the several even
ings unanimously applauded the can
tata rendered on Tuesday evening and
beauty are largely attributable to the
assistance of Miss Eta Latimer, one
of the pupils Of the 9th Grade of
Honea Path, Abbeville.
