The entertainment for the benefit of
the Free kindergarten association, held
on Thursday night, realized approx
mately $195 gross receipts for this most
worthy object Expenses will reduce
| this to quite degree. 1t is a pity that
the public in general is so slow to ap-
| preciate this noble charity, which is
| the greatest educational movement of
the age for the masses. The members
OF the association feel that the warm
| est thanks are due to the Country club
| members and the many others who as
| sisted in making the presentation of
the Gibson pictures one of the most
delightful affairs ever held in Scranton.
The beauty and elaboration of the
| tableaux, the charm of the musical
programme, and the general effect of
| the entire programme is a subject for
felicitation to all concerned. The COM
mittee of both organizations, the music,
the success of Mr.. B. E. Watson in an
nouncing the subjects, and the efforts
of others who so cheerfully gave their
assistance are much appreciated.
On Monday night the annual meet
ing of the Free Kindergarten associa-
ton will be held in Guernsey hall. The
resignation of Mr.. A. ID. Holland will
necesstate some changes in the board
of officers. The reports of kindergar-
tens will be heard and Rev. Mr. Glib
bons will make the address of the even
ing The chief feature of the pro-
gramme will be the presence of many
little children from the various kinder
gartens who will go through with mo-
tion songs. The public is invited to
attend.
