The children at the Laurel Industrial
School celebrated Christmas In the good
old-fashioncd way, and the one hundred
and fifty boys there were made just as
happy as they could be under the circum-
stances.
Superintendent John ". Crlngan and
Father" Alexander Gibson deserve much
credit for the splendid training given the
boys. and the boys themselves did Won
dertul!y well in making OF the Christmas
celebration last night d most complete
success.
The large dining hall was beautifully
decorated with evcTgreens, and Il stage
had been erected at one end. Behind the
stage was arranged :: row of cedar trees,
with fakes of cotton representing snow.
and the ceiling OF the hall was draped IN
cedar and white.
About twenty-five of the boy had been
Tehearsins for Two weeks under the
training Of Father Gibson. and the man
ncr in which they performed the various
parts assigned them in the beautiful
Christmas cantata last night was indeed
wonderful.
Some of the boys represented fairies
and spriies. and Jack Frost was most
predominant. The little fellows that were
made up as girls were pretty III their 1T
Tie dresses and wigs. and looked their
parts The solostS showed splendid 1nu-
steal ability, and some very sweet voices
were heard. while the chorus was strong
and correct in time. The musical num-
