DELIGHTFUL CHRISTMAS ENTER
TAINMENT AT HIGH SCHOOL.
A STUDY OF CHRIST IN ART
A Large Audience in Attendance and the
Efforts of Mrs. Miller and the Children
are Greatly Appreciated Music in
the Schools a Success.

Five hundred children chanting the
we'll loved carols of the Yuletide was
the attraction which drew large
crowd to the Central school building
Thursday evening, the occasion being
the first Christmas musical festival
ever given by the children of the Re
nOsha schools, and from the success of
the entertainment it is assured that the
Board of Education did the proper
thing when they added the study of
music to the curriculum of the schools.
The entertainment given Thursday
night was by the children of the prim-
airy and grade schools. Children of all
sizes and ages were present and under
the careful tutelage of Mrs. Miller
their voices had been brought to har,
monte until the songs sounded like a
mighty peal of gladness from the home
of Santa Claus himself. The rendition
of the songs, " Hail Old Man of Christ
mas" and 0, Little Town of Beth
lehem," were especially good and won
merited applause.
During the evening pictures repre-
senting the different incidents of the
| life of Christ from the. time of his birth
in the lowly manger at Bethlehem to
the time when he taught the learned
doctors in the temple, were thrown on
the screen and the children sang songs
appropriate to the pictures.
The entertainment was great sue
cess and Mrs. Miller is deserving of
great praise for the advancement
shown by the little ones in this their
first year in the study of music.
