BIRTH OF WASHINGTON
ANNIVERSARY OF NATAL DAY
 TO BE CELEBRATED.
Montgomery Schools, Banks and Public Buildings to Be Closed Today-Pupils Reminded of
 Patriotic Occasion.

Today Is the anniversary of the birth- day of Washington and Montgomery schools will be closed.
 In importance and in widespread obser- vance. Washington's birthday Is perhaps second only to that of Christmas and the Fourth of July. To the school chil- dren of the country the day is made doubly impressive. The day affords a splendid opportunity for inculcating patii- otism and devotion to duty. From the life Of the Father of his Country exer- cises are drawn to impress upon the youthful mind the beauties of Washing tons character and the greatness of the country for which he fought The day Is made special moment to the children in the songs, recitatlons. and addresses. in which the name of Wash ington is entertwined with the glory of the United States. It has been consider ed altogether proper for the public schools of the country to celebrate with becoming ceremonies the anniversary of the birthday of Washington, the great central guiding force of the Revolution ary War. the leading genius in the long struggle to success. for the banishment of British rule from the American Colo nies.
 The public schools of Montgomery will not be in session today. A full holiday IS announced.
 Fitting literary exercises in commemora- tion of the day were executed in nearly all the City schools Friday. The exe-- cises were based in most instances up. n the program arranged and distributed by the State Educational Department.
 These programs were distributed throughout the State and in nearly all of the public schools of the State. the an- niversary was observed either Friday or will be observed today.
 The enumeration of the day is by no means confined to the schools. It is legal holiday and one of the most gener- ally observed holidays in the calendar.
 The banks of the city will be closed. The financial exchanges of the country are not open on the day and there will not be any business done at the commas sion offices of the city.
 Sunday hours will be observed at the Post Office. At the State House there will be no general observance of the day. The business of the various departments will go forward as usual
 The various courts of Montgomery will be open for business.
