St. Mary s Academ y.
STATE FAIR.


Given a glorious autumn day will
an invitation to spend it in the open
and where is the school girl who vii
tarry within doors? So when Thurs
day afternoon was announced as the
academy halliday at the fair, botf
| teachers and pupils went forth in full
numbers, and for those few hours the
class rooms and all the other students
quarters had a brief vacation. Since
| that day the composition books, OF
course, have had a few more chapters
added to their interesting contents
while the classes in oral English have
likewise been enriched with obseTVa-
tions which show that the opportunity
was not lost on the wide-awake stu
dents.
Recreation.
While the pleasant weather lasts,
the after-school hours of Friday will
continue to be given to the boarders
for a general walk, the usual objec-
tive point being the hills north of the
city. where the botanists and nature
students always find an abundance of
material to illustrate their favorite
studies
The fresh air creed, moreover, seems
to have some devotees who are more
than commonly enthusiastic, for these
may be seen on fine days emulating
the example of the out-Of-dOor schools
we read about in eastern lands; how
far into the winter this may extend at
st. Mary's remains to be seen.
