AN ENJOYABLE SCHOOL ENTERTAIN
 MENT.
 The entertainment of the West Iron Works school in the Town Hall, last week, was a fine success. It reflected great credit upon both teacher and pu- pills. The program was well selected, and not piece could be left out with out decidedly impairing the program as whole. Itconsisted of recitati songs and pantomimes and was well eX- ecuted. It was great surprise to the audience to become aware of the talent in the school, both of kind and degree. Of course the musical abilities of the teacher, with the kindly aid of Miss Osborne of Danbury, very much helped to give the entertainment it's high tone. The writer hopes it may be a stimulus to other schools in town to initiate as nearly as they can this example. The hall was well filled by an enthusiastic audience encores being the order of the evening.
