Broadway School

The city schools closed on FRIDAY even
ing for the holidays with exercises of more
than usual interest Many of the rooms
we're decorated with a profusion OF cedar.
pictures, notices and drawings executed
by the pupils, which were all we'll ADAPTED
so the occasion and showed very plainly
that they were we'll aware that Christmas
~as at hand.
The day being beautiful one, a large
number of the patrons and friends OF the
schools were present in the afternoon and
manifested the deepest interest in the exer
cises from the beginning TO the end
At the Broadway school the exercises i'm
several of the rooms were arranged BY the
pupils themselves, and consisted of music.
recitations, ESSAYS. declarations and calls
themes, and were rendered in the most
credit2ble manner
In room No. =, Miss Olive Sues, teacher,
Santa Claus made his appearance and was
greeted with rounds OF applause bv the
children. He proceeded TO distribute his
presents, and created a great deal OF
amusement for the little folks. Each one
va, the recipient of some gift, and mer-
rier set of school children i. seldom seen
than those present lie No. :.
In No. 10, Miss Sue Green, who had
been absent for some DAYS on account OF
illness, was sent for by the pupils and was
s.5reeably surprised to find her room
tastefully ornamented by the pupils, and
her desk loaded with beautiful and valua-
bic presents.
No. ii, Mrs. NJ. V. Meet, teacher, was
decorated with much care and taste by the
pupils, and presented beautiful appear
ance. Aninteresting programme was very
artistically rendered by the scholars, and
was heartily enjoyed by those present.
At the conclusion, Mrs. Meet was pre-
sented with a very handsomely bound vol
time of Iongfellow's poems. Virgil Bum
gardner won the prize in the contest for
the best speller.
The pupils in all the rooms ac-
quilted themselves in the most
"c-edltable manner possible and
deserve praise alike Tor their excellent
department and the successful rendition of
their exercises.
Nearly all the teachers were the re-
cipients of many Christmas presents, which
they have deserved for the faithful dis
charge of their duties The esteem and
respect shown them on Friday evening by
their pupils, speak volumes in their be-
half as faithful teachers

First Presbyterian Church.

The First Presbyterian church departed
from the usual Christmas tree entertain
ment last night, and furnished cantata in
three scenes, entitled, Catching Kriss
kringle," a very prettily arranged enter
tainment by the popular composer, George
+. Root.
The first scene represented parlor, or
sitting room, with a very good representa-
ton of an old-fashioned fire place A
number OF the pupils of the school
dressed in gala dresses, sang with we'll
trained and sweetly modulated voices, "IIe
Is Coming"
1t was very pretty, and as they kept
excellent time to the music of the organ,
the audience enjoyed it very much. A
number of servants in costume, with their
brocms. then sang to the children song
entitled, on, be OFF Now" and as they
were hastily obeyed, it created much laugh
ter. One of the little children remained,
however. who was instructed by one of the
servants as 10 the mode of Catching kriss
kringle," and az was very amusing To see
how literally the child, with q child's
trusting faith, believed it could be done
This was followed By several songs
from the servants. the last of which Was 4
trio entitled, Il saw Three Ship>"
The second scene showed the pleasant lit

Christmas.

Another Christmas morn. Another year
swept out ON that sea, bOundleSs, un-
tathOmable. un>Ounded, another step
toward that mysterious eternity where no
suns rise or set. no nights divide the days
and time itself holds no significance III the
wonderful forever The sweet-voiced bells
with their Silvery notes are ringing peace
upon earth, good will to men," and
thousands of pulSirg hearts are throbbiDg

which have marked with tears every step
Of the weary road they have traversed, and

coming OF that trancendently wonderful
old myth, whose dwelling is in
the fairy land where is builded Harouu's
enchanted castle
Ii is good To- remember we were all once

The feast OF love the heart had spread

Let Us also remember the poor, the at

perhaps our abundance give to them some
thing of hope. something of tenderness
and something of that Christ whose birth
to-day We celebrate. Rosa PEARLE

Franklin School.

The Franklin school, under the charge
of lis principal, g. B. Lamb and his able
assistants, Misses Jessie Ainsworth, Katie
Mcclellan and Lille Gibson, gave very
successful entertainment at the Franklin
school building north of the railroad, last
Friday evening.
The various rooms had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion with inscrip-
tions. notices, pictures. texts, etc, and
presented gala appearance Over the
entrance was the word "Welcome' artist
cally arranged and above the platform or
temporary stage, were the words Thanks
giving, Christmas 1881, Happy New Year. y
The programme for the occasion was
we'll selected and very faithfully carried
out, the first being an
Opening song" 10y the pupils Of Nos. .
and 3. 1t was we'll rendered and gave
general satisfaction
This was followed by two songs. one bv
the pupils of No ., entitled .'Merrilv o.
and the other by the pupils OF No. /,
"We'l all Try"
The last was given with little more
spirit than the FIRST and pleased the au-
dience better.
