sirous of making the most of it in the
way of improving the school property,
and making it more attractive. 1t is
his purpose to make a lawn and plant
shade trees along the east side of the
school building, and to that end asks
for the cooperation of our citizens.
Everyone is interested in the school
property, and whatever makes it more
attractive is a direct benefit to the city
at large and the school directly. Our
school grounds are conspicuous by
reason of their location. Two-thirds
of the strangers who visit Sank Centre
pass by and notice particularly the

will be received. 1t is proposed that

teams and labor be contributed for
that purpose. A top dressing of black
soil will be required, and all who are
willing to contribute the use of teams,
or a little labor, may express their

she is very good indeed. Mr.. Hen

stringed instruments accompanied the
choir, above which boys voice rose cleal

the other voices, which it controlled and

A good old bishop named Telesphorus,
who lived in Rome in the year 1877 A. D.,
holds the honorable record OF being the
first person to officially order the celehrat-
ing Of Christmas day. He gave instruc-
tions to his priests and his congregations
that this day, corresponding to our Dec.
e5, should be kept as q solemn feast, with
the performance Of divine services While
Teiesphorus occupies this unique place in

and how are matters Of conjecture. Thess
