sexcellent results of their efforts. Such
entertainments serve to show patrons
sof the school what their children are
capable of doing in this line, and
create an interest In school activities
among a large number of parents who
otherwise are inclined to let the school
and teachers get along without their
: cooperation. It Is to be hoped that
other programs Of a similar nature
will be frequently given by the school,.
