Box Social AT School House

The box social was a great success.
The musical program was given large
ly by high school pupils and attested
the good quality of the work done by
Miss Nora Brown in the public school.
Miss Browns solos were fine and the
way 10 which they were received made
it very plain that she was universally
popular with the audience. The read
ing by Miss Houbbold was appropri-
ate and showed talent and training
Miss Brainard's recitation was very
pleasing. The trombone solo Mr.
Prouty was fine and was heartily en-
cored. Mr.. Brenton gave two selec-
tiOus on the mandolin which added
much to the evenings entertainment.
After the program the boxes, sixty
eight in number, were sold at auction.
Miles 5. kneSS was the auctioneer'
They were a very pretty lot of boxes
and contained elegant lunches. The
highest price paid was ten dollars and
Seventy-fve cents and the lowest was
thirty-tive cents. Eighty one seventy
five was the amount taken in, and this
with the donation of two dollars brings
the fund up to quite a good figure.
Mir. Kness kindly donated his services
so the expenses were light. Anyone
wishing good auctioneer at a box
social would do we'll to engage the
services of Miles Kness. He certainly
is great The proceeds will be divided
equally between the Mothers Club
aud the base ball team The Mothers
Club are planning to procure set of
rubber horse shoes for use of the Boys
Club and several garments and pairs
of shoes for needy children. The club
and the school feel thankful to their
friends for rallyiug to their support

Professor Minis Re- Elected

The school board madethe first move
TO organization of the city schools for
next year by re-electing Superinten-
dent F A Minis, at short meeting
Saturday evening. His salary was ad
yanced from 81 200. 90 TO 81 800. 90: and
the action of the board both in re
eiecting MIR. Minis and in expressing
appreciation of his services by adj
vanl ing his salary will, we think, be
very generally approved by patrons
and friends OF the school. Ii is not
open TO question that in the general
estimation the city schools have, dur
ing the present year, been in more
satisfactory condition than for sever
al years and there would be much re-
greet to see this condition ia any mate
rial respect disturbed. The credit is
shared among the superintendent, his
assistants and the school board and
it is wholly appropriate that the board
should evince its appreciation first by
re electing him. Other elections of
teachers are expected to follow with
out material delay Nevada Repre-,
sentative.
