| ENTERTAINMENT AT CURTIS SCHOOL.
 Some might think it unnecessary to remind the public that another treat is in store for them on evening of Fri day, the 29th, at the gymnasium of the Curtis school. The Curtis boys have never fallen below splendid success in anything they have attempted, and will, no doubt. prove far better than ever. With the added experience of another year, has come naturally in- creased ability to cater to the taste of a Brooktield audience, as :well as to arrange and execute program that to be there and see for yourself. It is novel performance to many of our town people, and for that reason all the more desirable. It will show how much lease and grace of appearance can be acquired by systematic train ing and drill. How the rough outward appearance can be toned and SmOOthed down and the polish given, which will give person that air of culture we all admire so much. This with the men, tai training given at this school is why all of it's pupils are gentlemen in the fullest sense of the word, both in the to observe the methods and results; SOlAlC Uo oCO "hoU puJOACeSA VI 1AA4b6 could do for your children. If you do not care to come for any of these req sons, come for the pleasure and enjOy- ment you will be sure to get from be- ing present.
