The Warrington schools SERVED
an excellent example Of what pub.
lie schools should be. The school

OF the high sshool students was most
pleasing. Fine music both. vocal and

high school added greatly to the de.
light Of the visitors.
"The reception given to the teachers
under the management Of the

shllfullv cared for as to leave nothing
to be desired. A bountlfnl and appe.

charming.

small effort to make the meeting a
worthy successor Of the one just
