Tho per formance concluded with tho play let "The Elf Child" In which Httlo Paulino Johnson ns the elf and Hrucc Putnam as tho herb gatherer, showed dramatic ability. The concluding fairy dance was one of tho prettiest scenes ot a delightful performance A great deal of credit should bo given tho teachers for their untiring efforts in training the children. It may not be generally known, but It Is n fact that children la tho pri mary grade do not oven know how to skip. Tlio performance demonstrated the need children have for such training and tho amount ot work necessary to produce satisfactory results. That thero Is a strong dramatic Instinct In children was clearly dem onstrated by those taking pnrt in the Elf Child. The study and presenta tion ot wholesome and Inspiring drama will direct young minds in better channels of thought and ac tion giving them at the same tltuo a polSQ and self command that will prove Invaluable in later life. Aside from the fact that the object of tho entertainment was a very worthy one, tho parents of this dis trict should congratulate themselves that their children have had such an opportunity for physical, mental and artistic development.
