of the rooms presided over by Miss
Curry and Miss Sterk. The entire school
united at 2 o'clock in the high school
room and with number of parents
and visitors enjoyed the proceedings.
The joint program consisted Of reci-
tations, readings and anecdotes either
written by or about Lincoln, pleasingly
interspersed with national songs, by
the school and solos by individuals.
For US to decide. which one or ones
were deserving of special mention
would be very difficult problem, for
from the opening to the close of the
EXERCISES every number was rendered
il an equally able manner.
There was an excellent attendance
of parents and friends of the children
and seemed to lend the desired effect in
the hearts of each who participated.
This was not only gratifying to the
pupils, but the teachers as well, and
especially so to those teachers who
have labored carefully and earnestly in
their efforts to bring each pupil to the
standard which they showed themselves
to be up to in these exercises.
The presentation of such programs
and observance of these days in the
schools of our country are worthy of a
great amount of notice, for it must not
be forgotten that it is to these grand
men of former days that we must point
as the ones who gave US this great and
glorious country in which to live.
Friday was observed rs legal holi-
day in the township schools, in OBJ
servance of the Tooth, birthday of
