Miss Margaret Bull of Eas¬ ton closed the program with a number of stories. Questionnaires are being sent out from the county offlce to gath¬ er in the facts and figures of tbe many vacation schools whicb have been held duriag the past weeks.

Each year more and moro communities are recognising the value of such a achool. The fact that children come to these schoola in satisfying numbers when they are free to choose play is an argu¬ ment that speaks for itself.
