 Miss Calhoun and Miss Chamberlain were assisted in doing the honors of the occasion by Miss Cornell and Miss Guern- sey and by Mrs. Robert Eilenbers, who served fruit punch from a table arranged m the hall.
 The program. in its making and in it's rendition was a credit to principals. teachers and pupils. It Is hard to realize when such evidence of training and teach Ing Is given as was last evening by the pupils of the Calhoun-C chamberlain school that they have only been one year un- der the tuition of this institution. The ease and poise, the absolute freedom rom self-consciousness was a. reveiation in the possibilities of the art of teaching.
 The numbers on the program In which the French and German entered were splendid, and in that perhaps more than in any other. feature did the good work done by the pupils show.
 The first number on the program, the wand drill, was remarkably good and Tracefuily done and the last physical cul- ture drill showed the careful training or physical culture teacher, Miss Guernsey. 1t illustrated the poetry of motion.
 An especially attractive number was Leaves From Grandmother's Reading Book" The little girls were dressed tn costume and the Quaintness of the snect was charming.
 The number Good Morning Round the World" was an exceedingly clever idea we'll carried out The children were dressed to represent the different coun- tries.
 The excellent work done by all the pu- pills makes 1t impossible to single out any for special mention
 The program was as follows:
