The weather was ideal and the program was carried out as announced last week. At 10 o’clock the procession form ed at the school grounds, made up of the various grades, the Shriners, and the Linwood band, in which all periods of American history from the earliest times to the twentieth century, were artistically repre sented, marched to the publie square and halted for two minutes talks by Mayor D.

Each grade had spec imens of its work, which showed to advantage the class room work, and which reflected much credit upon the teachers and pupils. The carnival netted the gross sum of SIOO. Altogether h was a great day from start to finish, and one in which pa triotism, school and community spirit reigned supreme.
