EXAMINATION AND ENTERTAINMENT Alexandra School, The Examination and Entertainment of the Alexandra School took place day afternoon Dec 22ni%. The school honse Was most carefully decorated for the occasion by the scholars. Over the teach- er’s desk was a beautiful arch, reachirg to | the ceiling, composed of ferns, mosses, and | evergreens, decorated with artifical flowers. | | In the centre of the arch were words of | welcome, The school was literally packed contain- ing 36 children, 29 parents and vi-i'or-, and | our popular teacher, Mr, Chester MeLure, Atl o'clock precise the Examination began. The pupils were examined ip the foliowing brarches of instruction; Reading, Othography, Writing, History, Geography, Arithmetic, and Current events. Mr. Layton Mc Cabe, Mr. James Jndson, and Mr. B Wood assisted the t eacher during the examination. The echolars showed, by their sccura‘e and well put together answers, their careful training. The geography was made very interesting to the parents and visitors, The teacher conducied the class. One of the pupils drew an outline map of P. E, Is- land on the blackboard. Then another marked in the railroad, etc., until the les- son was finished in avery minute manner. Current events needs more than a cursory mention. The boys and girls showed that they hada good idea of every day topics. Throughout the whole exam nation, both teacher and scholars showed they were loyal Canadians. Chen cam? the entertainment, consisting of comic readings. miscellaueous recitations and some beauti. ful dialogues. The dialogues by eight little girls, “Each has a Work” and“ A School girl’s Trouble.” are worthy of special mention. “Trades and Professions” illustrated by 10 little beys, called forth the applaudits of (he parents and visitors. Next came a very welcome part for the scholars, when Mrs. James Robertson and Mrs. James H. Judson treated the scholars to pastry and apples. Many remarks were made to the children and teacher by the parents and visitors, ' Then a yote of thanks was tendered Mr. McLure, by Mr. Jardine, on bebalf of the parents and visitors for the very efficient management of the school. Mr. McLure responded in a few well chosen remarks, Then theNational Anthem was eung thronghout, Thus ended a well spent day in school. PARENT WH) WAS PRESENT. ee PERSONAL. Hon P.
