A spelling bee was held at the Ramsey School. Ten pupils were able to spell all of the 66 words asked. Twenty-four of Professor T. Lewis Strong’s scholars received certificates for their punctuality, diligence, correct deportment, and progress in studies, as the term ended in the Ramsey Institute. The pupils were given a two week vacation to work in the strawberry fields. (Bristow)
