: Brainard School.
. In response to the requests of the friendl
of the school who have heretofore beer
unable to witness the closing exercises
owing to the limited accommodations o
the school room, Miss Jamison this yea
held the closing exercises of Brainart
school in the opera house, last evening.
There was large audience present t.
witness the excellent programme prepared
for the occasion. The opera house wal
tastefully decorated with flags, flowers
and the school colors.
The exercises opened with a chorus
Gathering Seed" by the school. Rev
s. H. Leeper offered prayer. the schoo
joining in the Lords Prayer. A song
ga Little Bird Tells" was next, given
nicely by a class of little boys and girls.
The first one to face the audience alone
was Herbert 8. Kille, manly little fel
low who, in a clear voice heard in al
parts of the house. recited "The Bishops
Visit" Frank Norcross, another little fel
low, followed with recitation, PLATTER
ing Grandma" This young man, like
the first, acquitted himself very credit
ably.
A concert recitation, "a Model Child,
was given by a class of little boys and
girls, who then sang "Oh, What Can You
Tell ?" The enthusiasm put into theil
work by the little ones, entirely compen
stated for any absence of cultured voices. y
The balance of part one of the pro-
gramme was devoted to the older scholars,
Ethel B. Evan leading with recitation
"The Blind Poets Wife," Miss Evan
spoke easily and distinctly, in a manner
that pleased her hearers.
Music is always acceptable, and when
Elsie M. Cline stepped to the piano she
was greeted with applause, which was re-
peated after very creditable solo. 'Del
Freischutz"
Anna r. Kingdom reclted "Caractacus,'
in a manner that gave evidence that hel
instruction in the line of elocution had
not been neglected.
An essay on Monuments" by Alice G.
Antrim showed much ability on the part
of the writer. Just as she began to read
it, the rain battered down on the tin roof
but Miss Antrim's clear voice was moi
drowned, and she was distinctly heard in
all parts of the house.
Last year the German portion of the
programme was a dialogue. This year il
was song"Die Lorelei, (which was hearth
" enjoyed by the audience. 1t was rem
dered by Ethel B. Evan and Anna r
Kingdom.
The next selection was decidedly original
1t was piano duet, entitled The Brain
ard School March," composed by Prof
Lawrence Elberson. of Mount Holly, and
performed by May A. Zelley and Elsie M
Cline. While the generous applause
which followed was mainly intended fol
the players there was also a share of il
for the composer.
Part two opened with Haydn's sympho
ny, duet on the piano, accompanied by
three girls and four boys, each of whom
had musical instruments tambourine
canary whistle, cuck 90 whistle, pc
licemans rattle, trumpet, drum anC
nightingale whistle. Before thes'
children stood Edith 81. Kingdom. who
with baton in hand, and at the prope
moment, signalled each instrument tt
sound. This selection was SO heartily en-
cored that Miss Jamison broke the rule
and allowed portion to be repeated.
"Pm Anxious about Catharine," was tn
title of dialogue given in charmin
manner by Eva Haines. Alice A. johnson
and Florence J. Moore.
1.-THE Dream of the Centuries" was
realistic recitation, in which Anna F
Kingdom represented History. Edith E
Kingdom, Ethel H. Dill, James Logan, Jr
and Kelsey Moore, children of the pre-
sent day, expressing desire to see som
of those mentioned in history, were graf
