During the years from 1882 to 1901
the French army lost 81 900 men by
illness, while in Germany the correspond

cause of this disparity lies largely in the
effort to keep the army of France, whose
population is 20, 600, 900 less than that
of Germany. equal in size to Germany's,
the consequence being that many recruits

Wednesday Night.

'~s~~y A~A$SsA~s
A large crowd again filled the
Auditorium Wednesday night,
which was High School night.
The program was rather short,
but good, and consisted of a
Hiawatha drill, a talk by Prof.

of Mother Goose.
Fourteen boys dressed as
Indians with bows and arrows
and feathered caps took part in
the drill, going through a num-
Der Of new and attractive mo-
tiOnS, done in fine time.
Prof. Avery's talk was inter
esting. He spoke of the pro-
gress of the town schools, and
of the interest and cooperation
Of parents, the efforts of the
teachers and Othrer forces
which had made this progress
possible, and referred to the
need of larger Accommodations for
the schools in the future.
The Kingdom of Mother Goose
in three acts closed the program.
Sixty-three children took part.
It was fairy play, introducing
fairies nymphs and the various
characters in Mother GOOse's
rhymes. All of the children
carried off their parts well.
Possibly Daisy Louaillier as
Mother Hubbard made the big
gest hit. The singing was much
enjoyed.
The exercises both nights
showed hard work on the part
of teachers and pupils, and both
deserve appreciation for their
earnest efforts to entertain the
parents and friends of the
schools. That they did enter
tain them was evidenced by the
frequent applause that was
given.
The teachers the past session
were as follows: High School,:
Prof. w. J. Avery, principal;
Misses Zelia Christian, Alicia
Dickson, Edna Close and Maggie
Bagnal. Primary; Misses Fadra
