School Entertainment. The entertainment given al the opera house Friday evening. June we are glad to say, was in every way a gratifying success. A large and enthusiastic audience was present. The (lag drill under direct ion of Miss Patterson, assisted by Miss S'eady was a pronounced success, and the gymnastics by the little people under the direction of Miss Le-Ihiuiveau was indeed a revelation of what they could do.

The musical numbers under the direction of Miss Webster, assisted by Mrs. M. Carpenter, made a decided hit. The recitations under Miss Thurston's direction were very good indeed, while the imtiati club drill under direction of Principal Marks was voted to be ''the best ever." In fact children and teachers deserve the greatest credit for a most excellent performance. The address by Prof.

C. II. Spooner, President of Xorwicli the subject of (Education, was a masterful and scholarly discourse that all present fully appreciated imuI enjoyed. Mr. Spooner spoke of the varying stand-aids of Kdiicatiou and how varying standards ol civilization had required men to master new arts, learn new trades and become proficient iu new occupations.

He called attention to the early (ireeks, Hebrews and Komans, ami knights of the middle ages, and demon st rated how the popirlar opinion, government and environment of the people had influenced their lives and characters and shaped the course of their educational development. He then in a clear ami forceful manner stated the conditions existing today, and explained in a simple but impressive maimer (this part of his address was for the children) how and what should be done in order to meet, the educational standard re quired, how difficulties must be met and overcome, and at last success must inevitably crown their efforts if only each one did his part and did it well. We hope to have President Spooner with us again on other occasions. The medals offered by Mr. A.

The closing feature was the presentation of a bible hy 1 rin cipal S.

Mr. John A. Arthur, of liurlington, who will be remembered by a number of Island Pond people, died in that city last Friday evening, lacking two days of being 8." years old. He was iu the ustoms service -13 years, resigning last September on account of failing health. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and one son.

The latter was rector of Christ Church from 1877 to 1831. We tender our resjiectful sympathy to the bereaved family. A large party of young friends, some ixty in all, assembled at the home of L. F. Currier Monday evening, greatly surprising Harold Currier, who that day had attained his majority.

The evening, ir rather night, was pleasantly passed in games, and refreshments of ice cream, cake and lemonade were served. It was almost 1 o'clock Tuesday morning when the merry guests departed, congratulat ing the young man on arriving at inatr hood, and leaving with him numerous handsome souvenirs of the occasion.

So far as am concerned by reason of two houses jn which I am intwwted I really feel that tip to the prenewt time by paying 7.81 I have made a pretty fair saving over and above what I should have been obliged to pay if there had been no protest.
