most successful event and those who
were responsible for the splendid pro-
gram prepared are to be heartily con-
gratulated on the result of their ef-
forts. We have not apace to go into
details describing the program but we
think diet possibly the most popular
numbers were the flag and Brownie
drills. bliss Ferguson and the little
ones taking part in these drills de-
serve special mention for the way in
which they were conducted. The
other numbers were almost equally
goad and with Mr. Purvis in the °hair
the entertainment was carried out
without any delay. Mr. Purvis also
auctioned the boxes which brought an
average price of about 75 Dente each,
The proceeds of the evening amounted
to 388 50.

Cations, dialogues and vocal numbers.
The children acquitted themselves in -
a creditable manner which reflected
credit on the teacher, The Christmas
Tree on the platform, laden with its
store of treasures was unloaded, two

bered each child with a card beating
the season's greetings. Teacher's
