Miss MendinhaII's Report.

Miss Clara Mendinhall, principal or the
Wilmington Training school reports a
class OF twenty-eight at the opening Of
the school in September. Fourteen OF the
pupils had completed their first years
course and fourteen were beginners. The
senior class spent their first five months
in observation and in special work IN the
theory department. The rest OF the time
was spent in practice work under the d.
rection OF the grade teacher, thereby
giving each pupil a drill in the respon-
sibility Of discipline and class teaching.
Owing to a passage Of a new rule by the
Board OF Education, some changes were
found TO be necessary. This rule provides
that when necessary the teachers of tho
senior class may be called upon to act as
substitutes in the various grades Of our
schools subject to the approval Of tho
superintendent and the principal of the
training school, The suggestions contained
in the resolution were implicitly complied
with; each girl averaging II days. making
a total of 24S days from February, 1904 to
the close Of the school year.
The work Of the pupil teachers was
commendable and they endeavored to do
cheerfully what was required of them.
Music and Drawing.
Miss Josephine Fletcher, supervisor of
music, recommends the appointment Of
an additional teacher of music in order
that the work may be as fully carried out
as it should be- particularly in the VIII
mnston High School where certain
standard should be established for grad
uation. The work throughout the grades
showed marked Improvement each year.
and the Pupils are gradually mastering
the fundamental principles Of music.
Sewing in schools is now in charge Of
Miss Johanna DUPONT Mclaughlin and u
corps Of four assistants. The number
of pupils receiving instruction was 2i50
in niuety-sx classes. The sewing exhibits
attract a great deal Of attention and 1t
is phase Of the public school work that
is very popular in the home.

centers in the two literary societies, the

PRIMARY SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

The little people, as usual, played to
full house on occasion of their enter
tainment presented in Central Hall last
Friday evening. The primary scholars
have been drilled and trained by their
teachers, Misses Roy and Herbert, dur
ing the past few weeks and the sue
cessful climax came when their pro-
gram delighted and pleased such large
audience.
AS an opening number an Indian
Drill was given by 10 boys and their
chief dressed in costume. Their song
and drill was fine and loudly applauded.
Next came the littlest of the tots who
sang "The Giants" in as big voices as
they had at their command. THE Five
Knights was pleasing feature, a story
III song, with dozen girls and the five
boys dressed as knights taking part. \
recitation by Ralph Strevel was pretty
cute and brought him round of ap-
plause. The next number consisted of
30 children in the play and drill, "Red
Riding Hood" There were 10 little
red riding hoods, 10 bears, enough to
scare them all, and 10 grandmothers to
protect. All took their parts well and
this number was very pretty and inter
esting.
The next was a song of "The Tea
Kettle" by several boys and girls who
danced upon the stage to the music of
the piano. "The Dutch Filtration" was
a handkerchief drill rendered by Is
girls dressed in Holland costumes. The
little dutch figures moving around the
stage in good time to the music and the
efficiency with which they performed
the figures with their handkerchiefs
produced much amusement. Following
this was recitation by Lisle Newell,
who puts great deal of expression in
her lines.
The play, "Old woman i'm the Shoe"
was participated in by large number
of the children and was performed very
creditably indeed. This was also acted
in costume and the features were re-
diculous enough to make everybody
laugh heartily.
A tableau of the old woman and her
numerous prodigy was quite effective
and second tableau "Wynken, Blink
ell and Nod" was fitting conclusion to
the children's program.
Miss Herbert played the piano
throughout the evening and Miss Roy
marshalled the forces in good shape.
The evening was pleasure to all
who attended and the primary teachers
are to be congratulated upon the sue
cess of their labors. About S45 was
realized from the evening.
