day before the anniversary of the birth OF
Washington. The entire afternoon session
of all of the schools is devoted to this pur-
pose all studies being suspended. Pro-
grams of varying length, according to the
fancy of the principal of the building, or
the talent at hand, prepared Tor the
occasion and some prominent citizen pre-
sides over the exercises and introduces the
participants. 1t has also come to be the
custom for all the schools in each building
TO hold the exercises jointly in one of the
rooms or in one assembly hall. If the build
ing is provided with one. A wider scope is
given the exercises under these circum-
stances and those in charge have larger
number of children from which to select the
contributors TO the program. In each OF
the schools patriotic hymns are sung by the
entire school. In addition to a presiding
officer there is also in each school some
prominent citizen who makes an address.
This in brief is the program that was car
ried out today. In the programs that fol
low lack of space makes it necessary TO
omit all ensemble numbers. and 1t must be
understood that in each of the schools "Ihe
