LADDONIA ITEMS.


Correspondence of the Ledger.
LApDoNIA, Mo-, Feb. 23.-The Pub
lic school celebrated Washington's
birthday with fine programme. The
pupils of Nos. one and two met In
room No. one. Their songs, recita-
tions and marches were very good.
Miss Rouse, who teaches No. one, and
Miss Moss, who teaches No. two, are
giving the patrons q progressive
school. Rooms No. three and four
consolidated their exercises in room
No. four. No. four is taught by Prof.
Spaunhurst and No. three by Mrs.
Beal. They are all up-to- date teachers
and but few public schools equal and
none excel the Laddonia school. The
recitations and music by these two
rooms were of high grade and would
have done credit to any school. Every
pupil did well and showed the best OF
training. No. four gave an exercise
in calesthenics, which was of the best.
By this their physical nature is devel-
oped and they are taught to stand and
walk straight and an ease and beauty
is added to their movements. Every
speech and song was patriotic and the
love of country was the great lesson.
While the many appeals were made to
the boys to become great like Wash
ington, we were amused at little
girl, Mary Anderson, of No. one, who
said in q clear and distinct tone:
'sThe world needs women good and
true,
I'm glad I can be one,
For that is even better than to be
A Washington.''
Elder Dorsey, e. q. Kennen, Mrs
Bowman and Rev. Arthur Burcl
spoke words Of praise to the teacher
and encouragement to the pupils
Laddonia should be and is proud o
our public school. No town is aheat
