The fine new school buildings are 6et' in an old garden—an ideal spot for an out-door 'gathering—and the gaily decorated stalls were arranged around the lawn, sheltered by fruit trees in bloom. Hundreds of visitors attended the party and, after visiting the stalls, were shown over the new schoolrooms.
