and appropriately decorated for the
memorial occasion OF Lincoln's birthday.
The east side school rooms especially ex-
celled IN the decorations, pictures Of
Lincoln, Washington and national colors
being profusely blended. All the depart
ments had appropriate exercises and the
program in the High school was especi-
ally fine. The Juvenile band played an
opening air in the corridor OF the Central
building and the instrumental music
aud songs we're Of a high order. The
unwilling OF Llncoln's picture and the
recital OF incidents and sayings in his
life by the different pupils on the pro-
gram were calculated to give a very good
history and accurate insight into the
character OF the martyred president.

patriotism for the children.
