Magoon's hall was crowded the evening
of May 9th to listen to the exercises by
the children lof our graded school, and
many were unable to gain admittance. AS
their object was to obtain funds for pur-
chasing new flag for the schoolhouse,
and also to create a fund to purchase a
library, why would it not be well to re-
peat the entertainment for the benefit OF
those unable to get into the hall. Doubt
less there are many others who would
gladly go again to see and hear the little
ones.
