STRANGE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS TREE

Most of us know that the Christmas tree comes
to us direct from Germany. And we know of the
tree worship of the Druids which obtained in Eng
land and France. and which probably had some
influence on the later of the tree in the Chris
tian festival. But do not all know that a SINH
lar festival with the tree as, crowning feature
is observed among many heathen nations, and that
it comes from worship. which Is older than
history The revival of the after the winter
solstice has been the subject of rejoicing and
of celebration by ceremonies which represent the
new light brought back to the world Our tree
with its small candles its gilded knckknacks and

The City Club is about to publish panpnlet on
water waste in the city, the proof sheets OF wncn
show that there has been exhaustive study of
recent reports of engineers and officials of water
departments. and the pamphlet IS intended TO

asked for by the club. and it is expected that Com
missioner Monroe and his engineers VIII take part
with representatives of the club at the hearing

about half of the present supply is lost through

FOR SCHOOLS IN SOUTH.
General Education Board Does Not
Plan Universities.

New-York members Of the General Education
Board, the Incorporation Of which has been pro-
vided for by a bill that has passed Congress,
said Yesterday that there had been mistake in
the report from Washington that John D.
Rockefeller intended to make gift of SlU,Uoo.-
0O0 for educational purposes in connection with
the work of the board The Tribune on Feb
ruary II gave an exclusive account of Mr..
Rockefeller's relation to the work of the board
as generous giver. and told of the plans for its
incorporation. Later the fact that S1OOOOOO
had been contributed for the work was pub
lished.
Mr. Rockefeller is one of several men of
wealth who have expressed desire to aid the
General Education Board in increasing the
means of education in several Southern States
The 81 600, 900 which he gave last spring IS
being drawn by the board as occasion de-
mands The expenses for the boards work
have been at the rate of about 100000 year.
but now that the board is Incorporated its range
of work is to be increased. The plan is not to
build a university either in Washington or IN
any other part of the country. but to cooperate
with local and State authorities in the South In
providing or increasing school facilities in coun-
try districts where the need for education IS
greatest These rural schools are TO be multi
piled in the South until all it's people. white and
black, will have opportunities for education
equal to those in any part of the world. if the
plans of the General Education Board are car
ried out.
Robert C. Ogden enlisted the interest OF many
men of wealth in the great need for education
in the South He took other men of influence IN
trips TO the South and showed them the condi-
tions there He gave dinners. at which the sub
iect of education in the South was discussed
Working with him in that cause for several
years have been William III. Baldwin, jr-, Morris
K Jesup and others who have been named
| among the corporators.
DR.. Wallace Buttrick the permanent secre-
| tary of the board said yesterday
There are many wealthy men back of this as

would be deluged with appeals for aid from this
