tion's Centennial.
The Public School Children's Centen-
NAL parade this afternoon was scene
unequaled in the annals of Hoboken's
school history Each child was imbued
with but one idea and that is that Ameri-
cas- father must be honored. From the
flagstaff on the top of each of the schools
the Stars and Stripes float proudly in the
breeze. Fully eight thousand bright eyed
and excited children congregated at the
corner of Eighth street and Park avenue.
They fell in file and marched to School
No. q on Garden street, between Ninth
and Tenth streets. They were led by
corps of boys, who had been drilled by
Captain McCulloch. The vacant lots op-
posite the school had been boarded over,
and crowds of adults were there to greet
the children on their arrival
The ceremonies commenced with the
singing of "The Star Spangled Banner"
A brand new silk flag, which had been
subscribed for by the scholars in School
No. 2, was then run up on the staff amid
deafening cheers.
The introductory address was made by
President Henry Hess, Jr., of the Board
of Education, and Mayor Grassman fol-
lowed in short address, after which the
band played Hail to the Chief" The
Rev. E. E. Barnes, pastor of the Metho-
dist Church, spoke few words of encour
agement to the children, and compli-
mented them on their numbers on such
rainy day.
"The Battle Song of the Republic" was
next shouted by the children, who would
have repeated the song over again, had not
the Rev. G. c. Houghton, County Super
intendent of Schools, stood upto say few
words of encouragement.
Justice John Reid had his little say,
after which the choir sang RED, White
and Blue" After u vote of thanks was
given,eor the speakers, the children broke
up.
The following gentlemen were the Com
mittee of Afrangements;-Hen Hess,

Observance in No. 12 School.
Public School No. 12, of Jersey City, has
the honor of being the only school in the
city to hold Centennial exercises. Princi-
pal Joslin conceived the idea, and he de-
serves credit for the good time enjoyed by
the scholars this morning. The assembly
room was handsomely draped with flags
and bunting, which gave it a pretty ap-
pearance.
The entertainment opened with the
'Star Spangled Banner" sung by the
school. Mr.. Joslin made patriotic nd
dress; ''The Record of Washington's Life"
was given by members of the fifth class;
'Columbia'' was then sung and Miss Dora
Clinton PLAYED piano solo. 1.-The Adj
ministration of Washington was recited
in parts by Ida Houghtaling, Ida NJ.
Demarest and Ella Guillan, of the fifth
class. Patriotic selections from Webster
were recited by the second class
The school sang Red, White and Blue"

1T would have no effect on the p-1ees OF
