JUVENILE PATRIOTS.
How They Honored the Memories of
the Nations Dead.
Exercises Held Yesterday in Honor of
Memorial Day-Recitations and
Songs by the Little Folks.

~~~SNNN
The pupils of the various public schools
appeared in their respective class-rooms
yesterday with all the buttons on their
shoes and the dust OF the street rubbed
off the latter, so that none of them were
sent home for lack of neatness. In the
three Grammar Schools-the Sacramento,
Capital and Sutter-and three of the pri-
mary schools, exercises were held in
honor of Memorial Day. Those of the
three schools named have already been
published.
The several assembly-rooms were
neatly and tastefully decorated by flags,
and flowers from the pupils gardens
added their beauty and fragrance. In the
Grammar Schools the exercises were par
ticipated in by the pupils of the First
Grade, and at each school there was a
goodly attendance of parents and friends
of the pupils.
