Each number of the program held
the interest of the audience, for the
children showed that their hearts and
minds had been actively engaged in
the work school and they were anxious
TO show what they had learned.
The. dramatization of Bible stories is
new feature of religious education,
but the way the children interpreted
the stories and. parallels of the Bible
through dramatizing them revealed to
the audience the great possibilities of
this new method of teaching
Mrs. Alexander Henderson has been
the superintendent the school and
has been most untiring in her efficient
leadership. She presided at the exhi-
bition and after the program spoke of
the work that had been done by the
teachers who had responded to her call
for help and given their services each
morning. She then asked them to
come to the platform. Mrs. George
Smell represented the Junior depart
ment. Mrs. Lester Glazier and Miss
Hazeltina Hatch the primary depart
ment. Miss Vera Day and Miss Coro-
ma Hatch the beginners department.
The assistants were Elizabeth Archer.

Cocker. Mrs. Henderson presented
them each with a gift in behalf of the
church in appreciation of the service
they had rendered, and then called upon
the school to give the teachers depart
ment yell. 1t was given with enthus-
iasm.
"24-6-s. Whom do we appreciate?
Our teachers, our teachers, our teach
ers."
The program closed with the chill
dren singing rStand Up. Stand Up for
Jesus" while they saluted the Chris
tian flag and America" saluting the
American flag.
The ability and cleverness which
the children developed in handcraft
work made a most interesting exhib-

rartment displayed the work which
had been done. The total enrolment
