Let the Little Ones See.

In the report of the teachers intertain-
ment at the court houee on June Oath
the LEADER report of the same had an
"out' of one word. An "out" or ssdout,-
let" or wrong letter will sometimes qc-
cur when the composition is rushed Up
just before going to press thus escaping
correction. A paragraph in the report
above referred to, should have read:
ION the whole the inter tainment was
thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, and
the most morose among the older spe"ta.
tors could but double their sense of enjoy
ment--tirst at the program rendition
and then at the fgity manner of some
lltttle misses, who, with entranced minds
and wondering eyes, we're tip toeing from
the benches at bare glimpes of scenes on
the stage before Them"
But it hoped in the future especially in
Entertainments that delight children-that
they should be seated in the front benches
SO that it would not be necessary for
them to tip toe from the bench seats in
order to get full sight at the performance.
Rounded Up.
