the United States the 200th ami
versary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin is celebrated today. Patri-
otto societies everywhere have ar
ranged for special celebrations and
there is probably not a school in
the country, from Maine to Cali
fornia. from the Canadian frontier
to the gulf, where the memory of
the great American is not appropri-
ately honored. Boston, being the
birthplace of Franklin, made spe-
cial efforts to pay a fitting tribute
to the memory of the great scien-
fist, statesman and philosopher.
In cooperation with the Franklin
Bi-Centennial committee of the
Commonwealth and the City of Bos-
ton the program for the celebrate
was arranged. Particular attention
was given to the appropriate cele-
bration Of the day in the public
schools of the city. A pamphlet,
