Closing Exercises OF Silver School.
Editor The TINES:

Editor TIE ZINES:
The closing exercises of Silver
school were concluded on Thursday
evening, 18th inst, at the Silver
Academy.
Miss Eva Curtis, our popular and
efficient teacher, deserves great credit
for the manner in which she conduc-
ted the school exhibition on the oc-
casion above referred to. Miss Eva
certainly possesses in high degree
the art Of imparting knowledge to
her pupils. This was clearly demon
strated by the excellent manner in
which each and every one of her
scholars acted their parts in the va
rious dialogues, charades and recita-
tions. All did well, but l cannot
help but notice in particular two lit
tie girls, namely, Margaret Thames
and Addie Butler. Should I say that
their acting, singing and recitation
was perfect it would not express it,
but when the extreme youthfulness
OF these little girls is taken into con-
sideration it was simply marvellous.
I could mention several others that
came up to the standard Of excel
lency, but suffice it to say that the
entire school deserves great credit,
as the frequent plaudits of the large
and appreciatiye audience clearly
demonstrated. Not only was the au-
dience charmed with the acting,
singing, etc., but they were regaled
between scenes by the delightful
strains of music upon the violin by
Mr.. Murr;tt Mouzon, accompanied by
Miss Minnie Curtis upon the organ.
The unanimous verdict Of all present
