The programmes are varied and prom
isa TO be ENJOYABLE. The work to be
displayed is that which has been done
during the year, and is not copies Oh
work made up for the exhibition. In
this way fair display is made and the
value Of what has been accomplished
by the scholars may be justly estl-
mated. One of the programmes select
ed in one of the grades will be on the
late Eugene Field, who has become SO
dear to the hearts of the children that
when a new line of literary work was
suggested some time ago they begged
to be allowed to continue with this
authors work. To illustrate how this
branch of the school work interests
the scholars a small incident or the
last year at the Webster school might
be told Before the holidays IN one
of the rooms where Lowell was taken
up. only three families Of the pupils
in the class possessed a copy OF his
writings. After Christmas the teacher
said to Miss Miller, the principal OF
the school, ASK how many have copies
of Lowell now This Miss Miller did
and found that nearly every pupil In
the room owned copy. why, how
did YOU get them?" she asked. Well,
some had had birthdays and some had
expressed a wish for copy OF LoWel
for Christmas, with the result that the
room was very we'll supplied
In one of the rooms Friday afternoon
will be devoted to a debate on the at
titude of the powers toward Turkey
and Greece. This promises to be one
of the interesting events OF the Week.
