Tuesday night it was decided to hold
half day sessions for the first and second
primary grades. 1t is practice that is
followed in several surrounding towns,

divided attention to the pupils she is
trying to instruct, and it tends to make
the little ones more attentive and
orderly in school. The room to be
divided started off with seventy-three
scholars.

characters was wonderful task and
called forth unqualified approval from
the audience. His narrative of David's
visit to the "crikis," as told to the
widow, was masterpiece. He seemed
to be equally facile in humor and pathos
and was an ideal 'David Harum." y
