KINDERGARTEN EXERCISES
Christmas Jollifcation Of the Normal
Training Glass

Yesterday morning the normal train
ing class and the young pupils Of that
school gathered in the assembly room
and enjoyed most delightful session Of
song and story. The little ones appre-
ciated the dignity of contributing to the
same program with the "grown-ups,"
and rendered their parts in the choruses
with spirit and precision under the direc-
tlon of Mrs. Rice.
Prof. Hieronymus told the story Of
Santa Claus from the origin of the char
acter to the present representations of
1t. The children listened eagerly to the
vivid portrayal of the first jolly old
child lover who went from home to home
sending his Christmas tokens at the
windows, to the account of how the
practice spread until there was never a
town that was unvisited Christmas by
the generous saint.
Santa Claus had so much on his hands
that people wondered at his getting
through with his visiting list, and they
concluded that he must live at some CEN
trail point, and settled on the north pole
as being his home. There he could have
the stars on which to hang his numerous
presents.
Mr.. Hieronymus read a letter petition
ing the removal of Santa Claus home to
the summit Of Old Baldy. (Hearty ap-
plause.)
II have letter from Santa Claus. It's
very short" concluded he, and with that
unrolled strip of paper of contradic-
tory dimensions, almost as long as him.
self. The epistle read:
NORTH POLE, Nearly Christmas.
My reindeer wait in their Icy stall
And listen and long for their masters call.
They know the way over ice and snow,
And merrily, cheerily, swiftly go
To the children great and the children
small,
With doll or book or toy for all.
When the nights far spent and the mid
night near
Los Angeles children who listen may hear
The sound of bells up the mountain steep
AS my flying reindeer run and leap.
I'll leave my sleigh on Old Baldys top;
But my restless reindeer will never stop
TILL laden with gifts in a dozen packs,
Stoutly strapped to their willing backs.
They stand and stamp in the city street,
And whinny and neigh and wait to greet
The good st. Nick on his brand-new
wheel,
Following close on his steed of steel
Los Angeles children who watch may see
My faithful reindeer and may see me;
But to every home where a child is found
I'm going to stop and look around,
And every stocking that hangs in sight
I'll stuff and stuff till it's filed up tight
With just what the children like the best
Nuts and candy, and all the rest.
And then, with the last faint stars that
peep,
Will wearily climb Old Baldy's steep;
But I'll laugh and sing all the livelong day
And my jolly reindeer will whinny and
neigh.
AS we think of the JOY of the Christmas
| OF happy children in every land.

NORMAL FACULTY MEETING
Professor Dozier Talks on Religious
DEVELOPMENT in Children

The normal school faculty, at their
weekly meeting, listened to a profound
and comprehensive dissertation on IRE
ligious Development in Children" pre-
pared and given by Professor Melville
Dozier. After briefly stating the condi-
tions Of an ideal government, the
speaker gave the method most certain
of approximating that state as being
the nurture Of the highest phase of hu-
man character, the spiritual" by the
home and church.
To be really effective and lasting,
moral and religious training must begin
in the cradle. All the religion of which
the child is capable during the earlier
stages of it's development consists of
such sentiments as gratitude, trust, de-
pendence love-first felt for the mother,
and which at later period are d.
rected toward God.
Religion is the most generic kind OF
culture, because it is the chief among
human interests, and because 1t gives q
unity to the mind, the heart and the will.

THE RUSSIAN SEER
Goes to Jail for Winning the Affections
of Another Mans Wife


Frank Newman, who runs novelty
works at GAL North Main street, and a
Russian named v. F. Zoraster were ar
rested on South Los Angeles street at
noon yesterday by Policeman Johnson,
who had the men charged with disturb
ing the peace. Zoraster calls himself the
Russian seer, dresses in an outlandish
costume and affects ridiculous manner
isms. He signs his name V. F. Zoraster,
M. D. F. S. D.
Newman states that the Russian
came to his home some time ago in an
impecunions condition and that he gave
him a place to live out Of pity. Almost
as soon as the seer came under his roof,
he says that he began to exert a strange
control over his wife, which he believes
was due to his power as hypnotist. He
felt the affections of his better half, with
whom he had lived in happiness and
harmony for the past seventeen years,
gradually weaned away from him. While
under this strange control his wife made
frequent appointments for private meet
ings with the seer.
Things reached such a state that
Newman finally employed a private
detective to watch the couple. Through
this source he learned that they had
planned to elope together yesterday.
Accordingly when he met Zoraster on
the street he couldn't resist the tempta-
ton to punch his face. From appear
