A Brookline (Mass.) family was sim
ply Mortified recently when a small
daughter of the house broke forth into
song with the words, ''To hell with the
birth of Christ" The amazement was
intense, and they very naturally put
stop at once to such irreverence.
Upon questioning the child, they
learned that she had been taught the
song in school. and an investigation
quickly followed to determine what
manner of teacher had the oversight
of their own little darling and of other
children. as well. II vas soon learned
that the teacher, most competent
and careful one. had been instructing
her pupils in the words OF Christmas
carol, which were: "To Herald the
Birth of Christ" This was different!
The innocent young one. not under
standing the meaning Of the correct
words, had sung them as they sounded
to her. Did this happen, or is it sim
