MARCH 3, 1909 - THE SOLIPHONE
SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
ON SATURDAY NIGHT LAST THE FRIENDS AND PATRONS OF EPSABA SCHOOL WERE PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED WITH THE CLOSING EXHIBITION OF OUR SCHOOL .
OUR TEACHER , MISS ANNIE GARDNER SPARED NO PAINS TO MAKE IT PLEASANT FOR ALL PRESENT.
THE BEAUTIFUL RECITATIONS , DIALOGUES , TABLEAUX ETC.. INTERSPERSED WITH MUSIC AND SONGS WAS A SOURCE OF PLEASURE TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND DID CREDIT TO OUR TEACHER AND PUPILS.
WE REGRET VERY MUCH THAT THE TERMS OF OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS ARE SO SHORT AND HOPE THE TIME IS NEAR AT HAND WHEN OUR PEOPLE WILL SEE THE NEED OF LONGER TERMS AND AWAKEN IN THE INTEREST OF THEIR CHILDREN .
THIS IS THE FOURTH TERM FOR MISS ANNIE SHOWING THE COFIDENCE OUR DIRECTORS HAVE IN HER ABILITY AS AN EDUCATOR.
