It wan replete with hlstoriu knowledge On motion of Miss Jennie Kowen, a vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Dyeaml Mr. llimes for their excellent paners. One teacher remarked after the meet ing, "Weren't tiio-e papers grind? These meetings are growing .hotter all the time." School EnlerltiiiinientM. is a subject not freuuenily This loucne i upon in eilileiitional meelnusor in hch.xil journals. The reason proluthlv is that time and space being precious, it is crowded out bv ih more important phases of the work. However, the sub ject app iienty needs some attention for hovv often do we attend entertainments where there is little to appreciate aside from the effort. For our purpose we shall classify enter tainments as those of a special nature Blld as thonu of a general nature. In the first c'iihs come such us tl e exercise on Washington's hirtluhiy and Arbor day; in the second are included henelit and close-of-school entertainments. There are many reasons why stU'li hlfiirs should be successful', prominent among which Is the f.icl that some patrons who otherwise never come, will be present to pass judgment on the merits of school and teacher. Many changes go to make up a suc cessful entertainment but the principal ni For Infants and Children. . The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tbe Signature of The Kind You Have Always Bought. ones m a v Imi summed up as follows: First, the selection of go'sl and appro I rule subject matter. Second, the proper aMignm'iit of p.irls. Third, The him tie h drill of the pupils. Fourth, g nhI ordr during rend. lion. Fiftu, the avnliUnctt of delays during rendition. For special exercises the Work select inglheubjeet matter Is comparatively easy since lierlv all school journals anllclpat the teacher's need and (111 their columns accordingly. For enter tainmsnt of the second class It is neces sary, figuratively speaking, to go to the (our corners of the earth lor subject matter; to bring material from every otin ess did the builders of Solomon's Temple. Experience has proven the superiority of a much varied program. In assigning work to pupils, it Is nec M4ry to keep in mind something about the "eternal fitness of things." The girl who must say, "Stop, thief," or "VII Ian," should be possessed of strong lung and a fearless disosition ; there la plenty of other work for her more tim orous sister. The big overgrown boy with the hlg voice ought not ta leeite, "How we Hunted theMouse." In short, the various parts should be assigned with reference to the special abilities to the pupil. A Hisin as a few have learned their recitations, songs, drills, dialogues, marches, pantomines. the drilling should commence. At the very outset the teacher should insist on distinctness and other Important points and keep right on drilling and insisting until everything la rttihny done. In addition to tins the entire program, arranged as it is to be given, should lie rehearsed at least twice before lis rendition. The object of this in readily seen. It is neither advisable nor necessary during the entire prepara tion to take, practically, any time from regular school work. Good order during the rendition is of prime impoiUnce an absolute necessity. Children's voices lack the volume and far-reaching qualities common lo the voices of army ofllcers and mule driver. The audience, being the guests of the pupils, will ordinarily give the attention It owes as such ; nut as some restless spirits make a ilmlur binee, they should be promptly and effectually silenced. The truth in "Delays are Dangerous" is clearly verified in the slow rendering of a program. . People naturally grow restless during the long IntervHls which sometime eltipue between the risings of the curtain. An abundance of programs printed or written, and some cautioning beforehand, will tend greatly to remove thin two common difficulty This article bv no means exhaustively treats the subject of school entertain ments, but these suggestions carefully followsd out will secure for the pupils t his Verdict, "They did Well " Simii.KY Buck.
