FROEBEL CELEBRATION.
THE oCALAs KINDERGARTEN Asso-
CITATION PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE
MEMORY OF THE EMINENT
EDUCATOR AND FOUN-
DER OF THE KIN
DERGARTEN
SYSTEM.

fittingly celebrated by the Ocala
kindergarten association yester-
day. The exercises were held at
the kindergarten rooms on east
Exposition street, where the
Misses Anna and Bette Sharpe
and May Alfred preside over the
most successful school in this
part of Florida.
A large number of leading citi-
zens attended and manifested
great interest in the thirty odd
children who attend the school.
The three rooms and veranda
were very handsomely decorated
with a profusion of flags, ferns,
flowers and cvergreens and on the
tables were remarkably clever
samples of paper patterns, en-
broidery work and paintings ex-
ecuted by the children. The
work was viewed with many ex-
pressions of approval by the visi-
tors.
The program as arranged by
the teachers was very interesting.
The opening song by the children
was followed by words of welcome
by Miss Sharpe. Then came a
report of the school work for the
past season. Questions and
answers from the children on the
life and works of Froebel was
very instructive as was also a
reading by Miss May Alfred en-
titled, "Why we are greatful to
Froebel. After number of
songs by the little folks they were
placed in order and to the notes
Of the piano, marched out to the
lawn in front of the building,
where the exercises were contin-
ued to the great delight of those
present.
After the entertainment was
over the guests were served with
some dainty refreshments in lit
tie souvenir boxes made by the
children. On each box was in
scribed the words: Froebel 1882
1897 This closed the program
exercises. The remainder of the
time was spent in social enjoy
ment and pleasant congratula-
tions.
The wonderful work that is be.
ing accomplished by the pupils OF
this school is ample proof of the
proficiency and patience of the
teachers. No school in the state
is doing better work and no insti
tuition in our city is more deserv.

The greatest setback Populism
has to-day is from its own mis-
guided supporters. As soon as
they elect a man to office they be-
gin to magnify his faults and ig-
more his good actions. II half the
breath spent by Populists in de-
nouncing Senator Butler for the
dead past, was spent in publishing
the good speeches and meritorious
