every facility to inspect the school,
which was in regular session, this

parents and citizens in general would
be welcomed by the faculty and
ought to stimulate the work.

gave an excellent exhibition of their
work, at the school house last Satur-
day from till o'clock and the ex-
hibit was viewed by about one hum
