Bright Skies and Sunshine GLADDEN. the
Hearts of School Children.
Many hearts were gladdened this morn
ing by the bright skies and clear sunshine
on account of the exercises which were to
be held at the various schoolhouses. The
order of exercises arranged by the teachers
of the various schoolhouses were carried
out In detail, and the trees and ivies were
imbedded with appropriate solemnity.
The most impressive exercises were held at
the Broad Street Baptist Church where the
Liberty Bell was presented.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the tree was
planted according to program and then
the procession was formed and marched to
the Broad street Baptist Church where the
formal exercises were carried out. Miss
Goodrich read the address at the presenta-

in masterly manner by Harold James.
The bell in question is the gift of the

the original Liberty Bell which was on ex-

closed with the singing of the National
hymn "America," after which the scholars
were given holiday.
