Goodykoontz. AS Daniel Webster Mr..
Skinner was troubled with terrible
mania for suffering. In the classes
John Roth, Clarence Bras and Geo.
Ball were shining lights in reading and
answering questions
After short intermission the after
nosn exercises were taken up and as
board the teacher gave the scholars
some instructions about being on their
good behavior. The school board was
made up of f. D. Powers, J f. Conant
and HI. ID Kress, with Mrs Thompson
and Mrs. Goodsell as visitors Singing
OF the Capital of States" the first
exercise by the school, seemed to leave
fair impession on the visitors, but the
reading class. particularly when they
read in unison, had rather a disastrous
effect on them. Mrs. Hover as Bridget
Fitzpatrick delivered the welcome adj
dress to the board and Samantha Allen.
Mrs. Wolgemuth, rendered that pa
thetic selection, MARY Had Little
Lamb. Samantha's voice was in
prime condition and barring the nat
ural forgetfulness to which Youthful
girls are addicted, rendered her part
very prettily. Euphenia Riddler, Mrs
Geo. Rowley, concentrated her intel
lectual faculties in blossoming etfu-
sion entitled Spring" Delivered in
stentorial style. her voice reaching the
uttermost corners Of the room, her
gestures timely and rhythmic, all con-
spired to make the effort a gem Frank

ing melancholy, which nearly over
come the little girl. The school sang
the multiplication table with alacrity
and precision, and Isaac Fortyacre.
Judge Abbey, recited George Wash
ingtons Hachet." Jane Stepenfetchett.
Mrs. Ida Stark, carried some lofty ideas
in her essay on birds, displaying a re-
tribe for one so young. The ''smart
girl Jane Pickles, Mrs. Skinner, was
given the floor for a poetical address
directed at the board. Her flights of
oratory carried her out of sight. SO
tragical was her delivery. and her
voice, it rang among the rafters and
reverberated back and forth in waver-
ing, piercing tones. The rendition of
the piece we'll nigh exhausted James
energy and it was with faltering step
and nervous agitation that she resumed
her seat. Representing the school
board f. D. Powers, otherwise known
as William Henry Harrison Kicker.
made an address in which he berated
the school teacher for introducing such
! high flown methods in the schoul and
ended by discharging him on the spot.
Prof. Goodykootz was overcome by the
knowledge that he was TO lose his lob
and delivered a pathetic farewell ad-
dress to his scholars, who were reduced
to tears by the touching remarks
With the singing of ''Auld Lang Syne"
by the entire school the entertainment
closed, admid the shouts of laughter
and applause.
