MilIvilIe School Exercises.


On Saturday evening last, one of
the largest crowds Millville has ever
assembled for a social event, gathered
under the oaks in front Of the school
building to witness the closing eXer-
cises of the public school. The front
porch, which served as stage, was
prettily decorated with ferns, moss
and evergreens, while large [. 5.
flags draped over the windows elO-
quently testified to the patriotic spirit
which should always prevail on such
occasions.
The program itself was well worthy
the close attention it received, and
bore witness 10 the earnest efforts of
teachers and pupils necessary to bring
it to pass. The program is given
below, and as every number was good,
il would be vain to speak of the eX-
cellence of any special one. Enough
to say that there must have been
much hard work on the part of the
pupils, aided and superintendent by
excellent executive ability, and pa
tient painstaking effort on the part
of the teachers, to bring about such
splendid results.
Mr. Wiley Williams, the first assis-
tant, managed the intermediate
.,ra Il os with ,,,,,.b ,r,,1i+ ,,1 ,,.I,;lo
he is young and not greatly expert
enced, it is safe to say, that should
he choose teaching as a profession,
Washington county and Florida will
feel his force before many years.
Special notice should be made of the
splendid work done by Miss Bowen
III the primary department. This part
of Millyille's school life has, because
of the inadequacy of the teaching
force, been somewhat neglected, and
because of this Miss Bowen had hard
work getting the little ones in study
ing shape; and while her acquaint-
ances know she is not stern by nature,
and her geHtleness might have led to
some disorder; yet her natural kind
ness and sweetness of temper was
mingled with a dainty dignity and a
certain native teaching capacity,
which gave her the thorough respect
and earnest liking of, not only her
/ pupils, but their parents as well. She
has done good work and the primary
| department of Millville's school will
be better, through her influence, for
! all time. The program follows.
