It had been the intention to give the children an old fashioned sleighride, but the con- dition oflhc roads made it till“ ise to do so. The children gathered .itier 4 o'clock and “'01 e serwd an abundance of good things to eat and drink, after which a very nice programme of songs and rccitations was given by the pi im- ary class, whose efforts shnwi d great effort and skill on the part oflheir teacher Mrs. i\l_vlks. This was fi-llow- ed by a very fine stereopticon enter- tainment. consisting of floral displays. landscape and war \‘ie\\'s,. and the stories of Robinson Crusoe and Cind- erella. The lantern and slides were in charge of Mr. ()rowhurst. assisted by Air. Harry Sanderson, while Miss Trench read the stories.
