SCHOOL EXERCISES.
Interesting Program in Miss Jones and
Miss Clarks' Rooms al the Gen
trail Building.

Miss Jones and Miss Clark's oom
had combined exercises yesterday
afternoon to which the parents OF the
children in those rooms had been special
ly invited, as Was also the board OF edu-
cation. The parents responded in goodly
numbers, some OF the fathers even being
present, but no member Of the board Of
education appeared. The exercises
were held in Miss Jones' ROOM, which
was beautifully decorated with plants
and flags. while rugs and easy chairs
added to the pleasant appearance. The
blackboards displayed artistic drawings
in the midst OF which was the word,
Welcome"
Programs were distributed to the Wis
itors, and those who came early were
interested to see into what close quar-
tiers about u hundred children could be
slowed, but they all were most orderly,
and each child performed It's part we'll,
md what was most remarkable, no part
was announced, but one child followed
another without "a break until nearly
fifty different exercises had taken place,
the usual exercises being varied by short
dialogues and motion songs.
AT the close OF the program. the pa
rents were invited to remain and look
over some u the children's work. On
going into Miss Clark's ROOM. they were
surprised to see a table daintily spread
with delicious looking cakes and waters.
and coon they detected the fragrant
odor OF coffee. Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Clark
assisted in serving the refreshments.
Much credit is due Miss Jones and Miss
Clark for the pleasant and successful
entertainment, and the parents appre.
cate what they are doing for their
children.
