The elementary school program and exhibit were held last Saturday evening instead of Friday evening on account of the inclement weather and bad roads.  One of the largest gatherings of the year attended.  The program was uniformly good and showed careful preparation on the part of the teachers.  After the program the high school boys sold the ice cream cones.

The exhibit of the school work which had been done during the year was well attended both before and after the program.  It gave a splendid idea of the kind of work that is being done in our schools.  It was left up until Wednesday in order that those who had not seen it might do so at the time of the high school play.
