In this report the vetinary discus

The school had a holiday and the
pupils were allowed to spend the lap

boys went hunting, while the smaller
ones spent the day in playing about

other functions for their enjoyment.
The Oratorical Contest.
The oratorical contest which is to
occur on April 20th between pupils
from the high schools of this section
Is enlisting a good deal of interest
The cohlest is to occur in this city
and the occasion will draw a good
crowd from the other places that will
have contestants.
A musical contest has also been
added, a representative from each of
the schools taking part in that The
musical contest will consist* of a pia-
ho solo by a pupil from each of the
schools for a handsome medal.
This will add interest to the con
test and will increase the rivalry be
tween the various schools and their
representatives.
