Ing of the Term Largely
Attended.
. Last Fridsy brought to a close snother
school year, and undoubtedly the most
interesting and snccessful term of public
school ever conducted in thiacity; one
in which pupils) m l patrons alike took

and the ecliool bo:rd, which ia composed
of inrii who have the iiitert-Hte of the
M-.hools at heart and who have fir'fjllcd
tlit important dn'ies devolvinij upon
them without fear or favor nnd without
prejudice or partiality, every action be
ing in the interests of the pcboola and
pat loon and for the advancement of eilu-
icational work m this city, and to this
board ia due the gratitude of the whole
community fir its excellent tervice.
Never baa the public rchoola in this city
had a larg-r attendance and beeu in a
better condition fur good, substantial
work than at the present time, which re
fleets much credit upon Prof. Traver and
his able corps of assistants.
The public school entertainment at the
Opera House on laet Friday eveniog was
a decided eucceas. Every number was
good. The seating capacity of the Opera
House was taxed to ita tallest extent,
and all unite iu saying, that the program
was the bes. ever given by ttie public
schools.
The pupils were thoroughly drilled,
rendering the difliciilt drills withont the
slightest hesitation. It wae noticed that
the boys took n'fair share ol the boners
of the evening. This proves that the
boya deserve a better opportunity to ap
pear on acho il programs tfiau is npuaily
liivmi them.
Particular credit is due Miss Kflie Wil
lis and Miss Lena Call. son for their suc
cessful management of the "Sash lnll,''
also to Miae l'arrutt, 'Mn-8 Oaddis and
Mrs. Traver, who . had charge of the
"Dewey Drill." The precision of the
Indian Club Drill delighted the audi
ence. The whistling duet of Misa Helen
Willie ami Miss Elfie Collins was re
ceived with great enthusiasm, and the
piano duet by Miss Elsie Benedick and
Miae Either Tuft'c, aud the piano quar
tette by Mier-ae Helen Willis, Kate Ful-
lerton, tiertie Kaat and Mrs. Apelhoff
were unusually well rendered. The solo
ists of the program, Mrs. tieo. Fates aud
Mr. Dan Langenberg Ming in a manner
very credit able to lhemaelvfeand highly
pleasing to the large uudience present.
The readmg by l'r f. Traver evoked
much mirth and was well received.
Many thanks are due to the teachers
aud pupils who lalxned ao latthlijlly to
make the program a encceea.
The proceeds ol the opular pupil con
test were S5. This amount added '-'00
volumes to the school -library, which al
ready contained 'J0O volumes. - The pro
reeds of the last entertainment will add
at leant 100 volumes more, making a
total ul 600 volume. The library was
opened to the pupils in January, and
since that time over 200 books have been
read each week for 20 weeks, making u
total ol more tbau 4000 readings. This
ia an - unusual record for u school
library.
The addition cf four rootua is to be
completed by Kept. 1, l!HK. This addi
tional room will make it easy to accomo
date the pupils of the district, as well aa
those from outside who wish to attend.
Mere teachera will be employed, aud the
high school work will be carried forward
at pteviously planned. .
