This

is that time and space being precious, it
is crowded out bv ih more important

hovv often do we attend entertainments
where there is little to appreciate aside
from the effort.
For our purpose we shall classify enter

Blld as thonu of a general nature. In the

in the second are included henelit and

are many reasons why stU'li hlfiirs

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
