With the Children The public school entortainment of last Friday evening was of a very high order. The program was rendered by tho pupils of Mr. Slaughter's room. A lurye iium- her of parents and friends were present and all heartily enjoyed the two hours' recreation imd treat. The scholars ac- Haitted themselves admirably in render- mi! and p.'rformauce of their speeches, soiigs, recitations, dialogues and club swinging. It was pleasing to notice how well they were trained. This is more signihcant when we remember that all the Work of preparation has been done out side of scliool hours aud at a time when lioth teachers and pupils are pressed with extiH work. Membei-s of the village baud were present and very materially helped to enliven the enterrainnient with thoir music. Mr. M. Richardson's gramo- phone is a concert in itself. The visitors as well as tho teachers and pupils thor- oughly appreciated Mr. Richardson's kindness in giving his tune and instru- ment to so substaiitiidly aid in the even- imi's enjoyment. The address which ho delivered at tho close of tho entertain- ment was replete with words of wisdom and counsel. Wo are sorry that our space forbids publishini; a synopsis of his addiesB. The teacliers are to be com- mended for the great paius they take in preparing thu pupils to so excellently acquit themselves before the public in an eiitertamment of this kind. It is Uo in- considerable part of an education to have aci)uirud the ability to use the powers of our mind to the pleasure and profit of an audience. Seldom has it been our privi- laue to enjoy a program so pleasing and prutitable as tliao of lust Friday. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. A. S. VanDusen drove over to Collingwood on Sunday aud got stormbound.
