women's attention during the past year

no less next year. On some accounts

true. now as 1t was when we wrote it in
our copy books In childhood; and where

great variety of lines of work Is not
wholly fortunate, because it dissipPtes

2. Favorite studies-English litera-

and next to this cOmes current events, -
the former claiming the attention of eigh-
teen clubs, the latter of fourteen. Eng
lish history, American literature, Ameri-
can history and music follow in the order
named; while household economics, art,
and parliamentary law attract about an
equal number of followers. 1t seems a
little strange that the history Of Eng
land should be more popular with Ameri-
cans than the study Of that of their
native land. or that more women should
be studying music than household econo-
mics; but the report from the clubs
would seem to indicate that this Ia the
case. 1t may be. however, that fuller re-
ports would lead to different conclusions.
5. Interest in public affairs-It will
be noticed that the study standing next
in popularity to Englishl literature is
"ourrent events" This Is significant
for it denotes that women are awaken
ing to a greater interest in public affairs
and consciously or unconsciously are fit
ting themselves to take more active
part in the world g work. A 8 soon az the

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF
The BUREAU OF RECIPROCITY.

The BUREAU OF RECIPROCITY.
The Bureau of Reciprocity is a little
more than year old; lihe children Of
that age it is una BILE to stand or 60
alone; it still requires your aid and as
sisranoe to promote its further well be-

AT Orono the Bureau quoted at length
a plea for contact between the clubs /;
where the writer could not 60 on the

manner in which you do your work.
Theoretically the Bureau believes in per-

Gu December 18th. 1895, one hundred
and twenty-five slips with circular letters
were sent to the clubs of the Maine
Federation. Many misunderstood the
brevity of the letter and returned the
slips at once empty; whereas the Bureau
wished those retained and returned later
with titles of papers and names OF
authors. However, there have been
sixty -four returns. viz: from three officers
of the Federation. thirty. four clubs Of
the stats and twenty. seven clubs Of the
W. L. u. Of Portland; but only twenty
six clubs have sent In the names Of their
children whom they are willing should
go visiting. Some are cordial In their
expressions Of belief In the usefulness Of
the Bureau; Others are very timid, very
modest and shrinking. thinking much is
expected and required.
One club, The Woman's club OF Els
worth, sent the Bureau a printed pro-
gramme, IN which the papers borrowed
wore credited to this new dfvision of the
Maine Federation. Up 70 chat time the
Bureau had been a little discouraged;
after that it felt better. Some clubs have

THEY SANG LIKE BIRDS
Kindergarten Children Gathered
About the Christmas
Trees.
There They Made Merry With Songs.
Games and Divers P easing
Exercises Yesterday.

Hundreds of little kindergartners held
their merry Christmas festivals In this
City yesterday. They were provided with
the evergreen and ever-ioyous tree and
each small tot found present growing
upon the fruitful boughs.
The Pioneer kindergarten Society at
Golden Gate Hall entertained the children
of the Silver Star School, 806 Sansome
street, the Sutro Mail Dock School. 218
Brannan street, and the Adler school, Sec
ond and Folsom streets. They were under
the supervision of their respective prin-
cipals, Miss Elizabeth Wainwri ht, Miss
Marie Schultze and Miss A. L. Manning,
who put them through their kindergarten
training with grace and precision. When
it is remembered that the youngsters
are all under years OF age and of all ma
tionalities and colors, it can be seen how
difficult was the task.
The Occidental kindergarten, located at
214 Second street. held its Christmas fes-
tivaI at Union Square Hall yesterday
afternoon. The children, 100 in mum ber,
Miss NJ. Bullock, assisted by the teachers,
Miss Agnes Noonan and Miss Claire
Meyer. On the platform a great tree had
been placed, illuminated with incandes-
cent lamps and loaded with presents. For
every little girl there was doll dressed
by the young ladies OF the Girls High
School and for the boys there were bags of
toys. Candies and cookies com mpIeted the
generous treat. Guido Mlrto. in flowing
wig aud arctic furs, was The Santa Claus
who presided over the festivities.
The children rendered the following
programme:
March and Ring Song; song, ''Merry, Happy
Little Children; games, The Spider and the
Flies; The Seasons; The Rainbow; Dancing;
Presentation song; games, The Chickadees;
Washing and Ironing; Musical Johnny; Ma
tional game; Christmas song.
The exercises of the little folks were
very entertaining and reflect much credit
Ipon the ladies who give their time and
care to these free schools. These institu-
tions are all maintained by the voluntary
donations of charitably disposed person ;,
and while many give literally, the sum
total subscribed is small, and "the kinder
gartens are seeing hard times" as one OF
the ladies interested expressed it yester-
day. In many cases the pupils are
clothed as we'll as trained, and this entails
extra labor upon the noble women who
are al the head of the Institutions
