C. Papenberg of tho Glid- "den school and Hon. Id. C. Thomas of AI- tair.

The scores of the judges were very close between the contestants for some of these medals, and it Is a significant fact that three of the medals were won by the children of Mr. an'd Mrs. Sam K. Seymour. After awarding the medals Mr.

Seymour was called to the stage and a leather medal waa pinneci upon him on account of the honors won by his children.

The clos- ins term of. this school has been a very successful one, and Prof.
