GRADUATING EXERCISES
The Maitland School closed its ses sion for the year with general exercises on the evening of May 6 and a Health Program on the morning of May . The exercises consisted of an operetta entitled The Rose Dream,presented by the children of the school under the direction of Miss Lena Fugate and Mrs. Allen, musical numbers by the Misses Minnie More men and Margaret Russell and the presentation of diplomas by Superintendent A. B. Johnson. The gradu. ating class included Mildred Jones, May Osteen, Gordon and Thomas Patterson, Teddy Brocksmith, Lloyd Haines and Kenneth Jackson
At the health program the pupils of the Fifth and Sixth classes gave a one-act play, The House the Children Built," after which the children who had kept their health chores were presented with booklets, badges and pins and the Accolade was administered to the pupils of the Seventh and Eighth grades.
The school has now finished three years in the present school building and before another year commenses the auditorium will have to be divided to give room for a fourth classroom. The school will then have four rooms, with two grades to a room and will be in a position to give the best at tention to every child, as the teachers will not be overworked and the rooms over crowded as they have been the past year.
Under the direction and with the assistance of the Parent Teachers As sociation, the playground has been put into good order, with a clayed ball ground and apparatus
The trustees, Mrs. J. H. Bennett, J. W. Rice and J. W. McNair, have improved the Library by purchasing a splendid set of reference books and are planning many improvements for the coming year, not the least of which will be the installation of city water.
MAITLAND LIBRARY CLOSED FOR REPAIRS

The moss has been removed from the trees and the grounds are being put into good order. When the work has been finished the Association plans to open the Library to the public with an in formal reception, the date of which will be announced later.
Mr. L. W. Dommerich has also made the Library a generous gift of books consisting of ters of walter H. Page in three volumes, The Intimate Letters of Colonel House in two volumes, Robert E. Lee, Soldier, two books of fiction and subscriptions to the National Geographic and St. Nicholas.
