WATER STREET SCHOOL
The closing exercises otthe Water street
school, Miss Loonora Higgins teacher,
consisted OF singing, recitstions and a
sale OF articles which the pupils had
made.
At the close OF the exercises there came
surprise for both teacher and pupils.
Mrs ]. n. Island treated the school to
ice-erssm. The visitors present were also
served.
There Is an interesting little story OF
how this treat came about. In this
school II has been the practice of the
teacher at the end OF the spring term TO
giys sone little gift 70 each pupil. This
year there were Two children 10 the school
" no were uaa bic TO have new dresses for
the graduation exercises. The teacher
laid The matter before the other pupils,
aud they generously volunteered to fore
20 their own glits tor the sake OF making
the two children happy. Material for
dresses was bought and teacher and
pupils worked together to make the
dresses. " hieh the proud owners wore on
graduation day. II IL needless TO say
that the pupils whose generosity made
this possible took a. much delight In the
happiness OF the wtarers ss they did
themselves.
One good deed deserves another spd
the happy thought occurred 60 Mrs. Le-
land 10 give the children a treat, and 80
Il was that the lcs-cream was served.
Another pressing iiitls incident which
shows he unssihsh spirit that Is being
fosierrd In this school, was gift to the
teacher from one of The pupils, purchased
with money given her for flowers for her
self.
This little report of the exercises ts sent
TO TaE AMERICAN by one OF the visitors
W no shared in the treat, and who thinks
sueh spirit Of generosity as manifested
in this school should receive public COM
