ARBUR DAY EXERCISES.

pllS OF the local puDNc SCHooi uiiuoi 'iiN
direction of the teachers, held Arbor Day
exercises in the Town Hall before large
and exceptionally appreciative audience,
composed of patrons and friends OF the
school. The evening was made most en-
joyabe in every particular by program
which, though lengthy, never lacked for
moment in interest, and which while
displaying the motive of the day cele-
brated, also brought to light the embry-
onic talent OF the pupils; serving thereby
double purpose. The opening number
was chorus of the combined grades OF
The school, more than hundred voices
swelling the volume of sound and Great
ing enthusiasm in the audience at the very
start. In fact the pupils and listeners
we're zen rapport during the whole
evening, and such an ideal state of affairs
could not help but spell success. Every
hing was good; choluses, duets, so.os,
recitations, and class exercises The III
trumrntal numbers were much appreci-
tied Arbor Day is national institu-
ion and has come to stay. Its advant-
sges to young and impressionable minds
cannot be overestimated and III this IN
stance the older heads We're also permit
ted to come in the line of contagion, and
we trust that Arbor Day and all it means
may also make its impression on them.
rhe patrons are grateful to the teach
crs for this delightful demonstration and
