The teachers and children Of thi.
place celebrated Washington's Birth
day with a public entertainment.
Those taking part in the program de.
livered their speeches and parts we'll,
proving to the public that there is ex-
cellent literary talent among the chill
dren of this community.
AT the completion of the literary
exercises the school building was
transformed into public bazaar, in
which oranges, apples, oysters, candy,
chewing gum and other confeotion-
aries were sold.
Probably the most interesting fea-
ture of the evening was the cake walk
in which practically all Of the young
people took part.
