On the evening of June IS, at 8 O'Clock,
commenced the closing exercises Of Andrew
Small Academy, in Jamestown. The two
large school rooms were entirely inadequate
to hold the throng OF spectators, friends, pa.
irons and trustees. A great many persons
had to be contented with standing room
only on the outside, and only an occasional
peep at the performers on the stage, or the
faint strains Of music that reached them.
1t was a very forcibe object lesson, proving
most concusvely how very much an adj.
tional class room is needed at the Academy,
or perhaps better still, how much commo-
dlous town hall is needed in Jamestown.
The Andrew Small Academy is such long
established seat OF learning that the interest
taken In any entertainment connected with
1t is intense. SO many parents, even grand
parents, perhaps, now come to its COM
mencements, and again live over In the per
formances upon the stage their own happy
school days, and IL seems to them such a
short time ago when their hearts beat high
with excitement and their cheeks burned
with bushes at the applause they received
when taking part In old A. s. Academy ex.
ercises.
The program was perfectly carried out
the children thoroughly drilled In song and
recitation. The sweet little voices OF the
primary class Of boys and girls, as they went
through 80 perfectly their little motion
songs, 10 the really lovely voices OF someaof
the senior class, showed how hard their
faithful teachers had toiled TO train them 30
well. Mr.. McIlwee's address was thor
oughly enjoyed. He has proved TO be very
Jealous, earnest teacher, and his interest In
the past, present and future of the Andrew
Small Academy Is very evident. We are
very glad to have him and his charming wife
with US during the summer. Miss Friday
has endeared herself to all her patrons, and
has made many warm friends here. We all
regret exceedingly she will not return to US
next year, after being with US three years.
She will make her home in Philadelphia In
the Fall. The primary class has become
much attached to Miss Mcllwee, and will
gladly welcome her back 10 the Fall. The
faculty OF the Academy certainly tried very
hard to make the closing exercises sue
cess. That they succeeded was proved by
the admirable way In which the following
program was rendered:

Ward and Miss Friday; Glass exercises,
