BEllEViLLE EXERCISES.

happy gathering of friends and rela-
tives who had assembled to witness
the closing exercises of the Eighth
Grade 4. The assembly room had
been artistically arranged by the pu-
pills.
Rev. W. s. Slack eNhorted the pa
rents TO lend their efforts toward help
ing the teachers in their work with the
children He said that the best work
in any school was secured through the
cooperation of the parents with teach
ers. The teachers could assist, but
could never take the place of the
home. He. therefore. urged the pa
rents to see that the children attended
school regularly and punctually and
that they study at home.
f. f. Henning heartily endorsed all
that had been said by Mr.. Slack. He
then assumed the pleasant duty OF dis
tributing the certificates of attain
ment.

men who so willingly gave their ser
vices as ushers. Misses Pettigroye,

Grammar and Primary Department.
A rather interesting program was
given by the pupils of the grammar
and primary departments. The morn
ing was pleasant, fortunately, for the
Annex was all too small to accommo'
date the large crowd gathered to hear
the dialogues, recitations, songs, which
we're rendered creditably.
Mr.. Henning was present and spoke
to the girls. Both his advice and that
of Rev. w. S. Slack could not fail to
Impress the thoughtful girl, and clearly
showed Of how much interest to them
was the success of our girls.
The mornings exercises showed how
great our need is for more space. Our
Limited space spoiled what would 9th
Ierwise have been a pleasant exercise
land with the sewing class and the
looking class which need accommoda
tions, our desire for more space is nat
ural, and we earnestly wish for
speedy realization of our desire.
Principal and teachers have cause
to feel satisfied with the result OF thell
painstaking and thorough work OF the

cessful is shown by the fact that onl!
eight per cent of the entire enrolment
