XMAS AT CHRIST HOSPITAL
Children Male Happy With Tree
and Gifts Yesterday APternoor

Everybody in Christ Hospital, including
nurses and patients, received candy and
oranges yesterday afternoon from the
hospital Christmas tree, while the children
received toys in addition to the candy and
oranges.
The tree was very pretty and very pret-
tily trimmed. 1t was the gift of Public
School No. 26 and was erected in the
Daisy Ward, SO that all the children might
see. The little ones too sick to walk.
were wheeled or carried into the room,
where the tree stood, at two O'Clock, and
where all the nurses off duty, with a
goodly number of visitors, had assembled.
Among the children were four infants, the
youngest born on Christmas Day and the
eldest only thirteen days old
The Rev. DR.. Warren, Chaplain of the
Hospital, made few appropriate re-
marks, after which the gifts were dis
tributed, each girl receiving doll and
each boy a toy. There were, in addition
to the candy and oranges, the gifts of
the Abercrombie and ST Mary Guilds
connected with the hospital
There are now fourteen children in the
Daisy Ward and sixty adult patients in
the hospital, all of whom hung up their
stockings Christmas Eve, and all of whom
were remembered yesterday
The nurses were also to have held their
mid-winter graduation exercises yesterdf =
afternoon, but owing to the illness of the
Rev. George S. Bennitt, president of the
hospital, the graduation was postponed
until his recovery.

WON'T ExPEL THE GIRLS.
Hoboken Commissioners Gives Train-
ing Students Longer Time.

The Hoboken Commissioners of Public
Instruction at their meeting lasED night
refused to confirm the resolution adopted
by the Committee on School Government
to retire the six young women from the
Training School who were reported at the
last meeting to be deficient in their
studies. The dissenting members of the
board claimed that the young women in
question were unjustly Disseminated
against. 1t has always been the rule at
the Training School, they pointed out. to
report students who fall below the re-
quired average at the end of each month.
This rule was not followed with the young
women under consideration, as they were
allowed to continue six months in the
school before report of their deficiency
was made.
The names of the young women were
not made public, but they had champions
enough in the board to not only kill the
ruling of the School Government Com
mittee but to have resolution passed ex-
tending to them the privilege of months
time to make good any deficiencies in
studies during the remainder of the
course. This resolution may be taken ad-
vantage of by any student at the school,
but that it's primary object was to save
the young women reported to the board
from expulsion is not denied.
