The theme of the program was the conflict of the seasons, with King Winter attempting to usurp the stage and keep the May Queen from making her debut. All of the nations of the earth were called in to help decide who should reign, winter or spring. The children, representing the various nations, appeared in costume and _ rendered appropriate folk dances. Perfect order was maintained throughout the evening and the targe audience thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. The fact that the review enabled every pupil to take part was a new departure in_ school entertainments and added greatly to the success of the event. The Central school faculty, as well as the children, are to be congratulated heartily on the success of the entertainment, and Moab peope undoubtedly will look forward to another similar performance next year.
