Memorial Day Observance.

Memorial Day Observance.
The observance of Memorial day was
carried out as planned, in spite of the
| cold and unfavorable weather. The pro-
cession, consisting of the members of the
Grand Army Post, Sons of Veterans,
Womans Relief Corps, and other orders,
school children and citizens, escorted by
the Lyndonville Military Band, marched
to the Center, where the graves of sol
diers were decorated with the usual
ceremonies. The address of the day was
given in Music Hall, the speaker being
Rev. !. w, MacLaughlin, whose eloquent
words, touching on important historical
crises in our nations history, were lis
tened to with great attention, and made
a lasting impression on all those present.
In the evening the annual concert given
by Lyndon Institute was attended by
good-sized audience who listened with
great pleasure to the Dartmouth College
Quartet, consisting of the following
singers: First tenor, Marshall Comstock;
second tenor, Arthur T. Soule; first bass,
Morton Hull; second bass. Russell Mere
dith; assisted by Robert r. Lane, man
dolin soloist and Miss Mabel Stewart,
reader A varied program of solos,
duets, trios and quartets was given, and
Miss Stewart and Mr.. Lane gave several
selections, all of which were well appre-
ciated. Encores were numerous, and the
whole entertainment was most success
full, in financial as we'll as an artistic
way.
The Kindergarten Closed.
Miss Maxhelds private kindergarten
closed Friday afternoon with public
exercises, to which the parents and
friends were invited In addition to the
usual games and songs, the children
danced around a gailv decorated May
POLE and crowned as their May Queen
little Miss Bernice Fisher, who looked
and acted the part to perfection, being
pelted and covered with flowers, the
result of many hours searching in the
| woods by the children. 1t is much to be
regretted that Miss Max6eld is not to
return here another year. as her school
has been a great success, and the parents
of all her scholars feel that she has done
a valuable and beautiful years work.
In September she goes to private kin
dergarten in Mooerstown, N. j., suburb
of Philadelphia. The kindergarten has
, been so successful and valuable that it is
hoped the school committee will see fit
to add it to the regular schoolcurriculum,
so that all the children may have the
benefit of this excellent training.
