The village schoo closed Friday with
public exercises, which were prepared
especially for the parents of the scholars.
The parents responded well to the invita-
lions sent them and the intermediate room
was filled. The singing by the combined
schools was very effective in turning the
thoughts of all present to their homes;
the quotations from each scholar dealt
with the influence of parents on the lives
of many noted men and women. The rec
~itat1ons and concert exercises took up the
members of the home in their relations one
to another showing beautifully the
strength and power of the home ties; the
biographical sketches touched on a few
lives notable not only for their influence on
the world, but especially on their families.
The exercises we're unusually good and a
credit to the scholars and the teachers.
