A WORTHY SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

WORIH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
The children of Weller district school, with
their teachers, held an entertainment at the
schOolhouse, last Friday evening, which con-
sisted of Rotations, singing and speaking,
and the manner in which part was conducted
showed great deal OF energy and hard work
on the part of the teachers 1t also showed
what the minds of children cal be brought to
at the ages of six to y years old when proper
ly handled. Out Of the several classes during
the entertainment not a break was made, and
there were about so children drilled for their
several pieces. Much credit is due Miss lisa
bella Nc Kay, teacher Of room A for the man
ner in which she prepared her scholars. AS
the schoolhouse is only 81 feet by % feet, there
were packed in that room 134 people
which shows that when the Weller District
people want to raise a little money for school
purposes they can generally get it without
taxing the district. The present occasion was
to raise funds to purchase a book case and
the writer heard that they received money
enough to purchase two good book cases.
They held an entertainment last December
anC the proceeds went to buy new diction-
airy. That time there was money left over
put it in. and little money in the treasury.
they are planning to hold entertainment
in the near future at the Town hall to
raise sufficient money to buy piece of land
to add on to the playground, VIII CHI at pres
ent is the highway.
