gramme in the exercises of the eighth grade was the Reclamation at the un- yelling of Lincoln'S monument by Monte Dernham, 13 years old.

 The exercises held in honor of the day at the Horace Mann School conformed strictly to the original programme and were participated in by the pupils of the entire school without exception. Those who took the leading parts ac- quilted themselves with merit, enter ing their several tasks with an enthu- siasm characteristic of true patriotism. They were named on the programme as follows: Ivy Knowlton, Reclamation; Lottie Davidson, "Gettysburg Ad- dress" Frank Arthur, poem, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" Unveiling of the bust of Lincoln was performed by Joseph Pritchard.
 The exercises of the eighth grade in the Columbia Grammar School were of a high order of merit. The decora- tions were especially fine. and Amer ican flags were in abundant evidence. The address by R. E. Whitef1eld was of exceptional interest as that gentle man was a great friend of Lincoln and closely associated with him for con- siderable portion of his life. His per sonal "reminiscences were therefore most entertaining and held the atten- tion of his listeners.
 All the members showed careful pre- paration by the pupils, who are to be congratulated on the complete success of their efforts. The programme was as follows:
