Miss Amanda Medara, and her corps Of

a few appropriate remarks by the visiting

children he praised them for their loyalty
and patriotism in the spirit which these
little tots displayed in the part taken bv
them. He said it reflected credit upon
their instructors and leaders who thus
inspire them. The visitors, upon going
