The TRANSCRIPT to every teacher from
now to July 1st, 1897, for 25c. Surely no
teacher can resist the editors generous Of
fer. Let hundred "knights" surround
the Round Table before we begin the New
Year. See what goodly company we
have already.
Keep each weeks Round Table for future
reference, especially those numbers that
contain names of members and their ad-
dresses. Have supply of stamps on hand,
and do not hesitate to write to any knight
concerning educational matters. Allmem-
bers of the Round Table should be prompt
to reply to any communication addressed
to them.
The geography exercise" contest will
not close till January 1st.
A committee on education has been ap-
pointed by the president Of the constitu-
tional convention. have addressed let
ter to Mr.. Gilchrist, chairman of that COM
mittee, asking him to consider certain sug-
gestions made in this column last week.
At my suggestion, Nellie Miller, presi-
dent of the Help Society of our school, has
the following, which may inter-
est those teachers who are anxious to learn
how to make little money for the purpose
of buying extras for their schools:
1.-THE second annual Bazaar of the Help
Society was held in Breck's Mill Hall, on
the evenings of Dec. 4th and 5th. The |
tables were decorated with ferns and bunt- |
ing of different colors. They were con-
Quoted by the teachers. Miss Hamilton |
had charge of the fancy table; Miss Hersey,
the candy table; Miss Beecher, the house
keepers table; Miss Farquhar, the cake
table; Miss Mclaughlin, the doll table. The |
peanut stand and the lemonade stand were |
conducted by several Of the larger boys,
while Miss Mai Miller and Miss Agnes
Oliver, assisted by number of the larger |
girls, looked after the ice cream tables. Mr..
A. R. Spaid was general manager and |
cashier. The music was furnished by Mr..
Alfred I. duPont's orchestra.
One of the attractions of the bazaar was
. large rooster, Buff Cochin, given by
Mr.. Draper, of Middletown.
Mr.. Beecher. the well-known photogra-
oher, Of Whining gton, photographed Chan
lcleer, and gave about five dozen pictures
% the society. which were all sold at ten
cents piece.

Vas sold at auction for $500.
The bazaar was financial success, the
net proceeds amounting to $22o.S1."
