DEBORAH, Iowa, June 8, 1897.
L had been cross-eyed ever since /
can remember; some doctors said moth

glasses, out they did no good. L spent

second and third grades, and in the
afternoon those of the fourth, fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
These exercises were pronounced by all

grams were carried out by the children
which speak well for the thorough
work of the instructors and the general
management of the school. A plat
form on which the programs Were
rendered was erected in the doorway OF
the high school room, which was
beautifully decorated with flags OF
different nations. Hung on the sides
of the hall were specimens of work
done by all grades of the school, which
received the hearty appreciation of all.
On Friday morning the graduating
exercises of the high school took place,
at which time Misses Hannah A. Hegg,

Benediction.
The work of the past year has been
particularly gratifying to parents and
our people generally. Though hamp-
cred somewhat by the erection of the
new school building, the scholars and
teachers have applied themselves dill
gently and have kept pace with the
rapid advancement of modern educa-
ton. DEBORAH now has public school
which she may feel proud of, and need
not be ashamed to hold up as an ex-
ample for other cities to follow.
