one piece on the organ by Miss Eva Cur
It's and the rest Of the time by Miss Min
ME Curtis Miss Eva played during the
drill; Miss Daisy Weeks performed while
the children sang and Miss Elma Geddings
rendered one piece on the organ during the
evening.
We feel tempted to say something spe-
cial abou: some who reclted and sang, but
that wouldn't be fair to the others, so We
will just state that the whole program WIS
carried ont in manner worthy of Packs
vile, her people, and above all, the teacher,
Miss Marion kruse Some of the children
who took part were wee tots.
There il one feature OF the program
which we can't resist touching on specially
-that was The drill While the sweet note 8
of the organ pealed forth the stirring strains
of a march, twelve school girls, with pretty
garlands in their hands, went through the
Intricate figures Of the drill. The sight was
Q pretty one; yes, to a person like your
correspondent who Is quite fond OF school
girls. the drill presented sight not only
pretty. but inspiring.
III his remarks that night Mr.. Dunlap
gave utterance to an idea that will give
food for thought to many Of our readers
He said he was hearing great deal about
co;tnu factories, but he would not give one
good school for several factories. This de;l
is entirely correct ana your correspondent
gives III emphatic amen to 1t.
Another feature Of the evening we want
to mention before closing was the admira
be behavior OF the audience. l. Was y
