Mrs. Leeda White, who has taught there for the past eight months has not only showed her great interest in its pupils in various ways but she has also established a friendship among her patrons that will never die. Though little time was spent in getting it up the program was very nicely arranged. The entertainment was opened with a song which was followed with rescertaions, dialogues, etc. Music was rendered through out the occasion by the Faraldo Orchestra. Professor J. N. Warner made a splendid speech on educational advantages. He told of the many advantages in the high Schools yet he did not fail to remind the boys and girls that some of the greatest men and women of the day came from the little country school room. Captain C. H. Teal, after getting over his stage fright made a nice speech and told the children lots of funny things which they seemed to enjoy. A royal dinner was spread on the grounds which was devoured with little confusion. ADOLF
