ASHLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Students* Reception
Report of Principal oí Ashland Public Schools
lor rionth Ending November 33. 1895.
The reception given by the students of
the Ashland State Normal School last
Friday night was a decided success in
every respect. A very large assemblage
of city people attended, ami, together
with altout a hundred Normal students,
made a large gathering.
The foremost part of the evening was
made enjoyable by an interesting pro-
irram, which, Iteing neither too short nor
ong, was highly appreciated.
The
“shingle supper’* followed, with plenty
to eat for several times the numoer of
people present.
From supper until mid-night, the time
was s]n»nt in general merry-making.

The attendance for the above month is
less than for the proceeding month owing
to the prevalence of colds and chicken
pox. The tardiness shows a satisfactory
decrease, an<l comes from a relatively
small numlter of scholars. Miss Grant
had but one case this month and Mr.
Thornton but four.

The “Legislature.”
The “Extra Session of the Legisla
ture” given under the management of
Mrs. I). L. Harford last Saturday eve-
ing in Ganiard’s Opera House, was well
attended. The attempt was to portray
to the public the utter indifference and
confusion that is generally prevalent at
the sessions of the state legislature, but
it is undoubtedly beyond the power of
even the <x»ming women to truly repres
ent them. The entertainment was,
however, pleasing ami amusing.
