year at the State Reform school last eve
ming. The exhibition was held in the
chapel which was prettily decorated for
the occasion with flags and bunting.
There were one hundred and thirty-eight
boys present and they performed their
parts and conducted themselves in very
creditable manner. The general subject Of
the entertainments was kindness TO
Dumb Animals" and most of the reci-
tations and songs were evidently intend
ed to teach the boys to be kind toward
all living creatures. Across the top of
the stage and wings was the motto:
"I would not enter on my list of friends
(Though graced with polish'd manners
and fine sense), the man
Who needlessly sets foot upon worm. "
Cowper.
The state laws require that kindness to
dumb animals be taught in all the pub
lie schools of the state, and 1t seems to us
that the Reform School has adopted a
very interesting and practical method of
giving this instruction. Judging by the
interest the boys have shown In this en-
tertainment, they are alive to the needs
OF the brute creation and no doubt they
will carry away to their homes deeper
regard for the creatures who contribute
so much to our comfort and happiness.
