In the Primary building Friday, the
schools OF Mrs, Bertha Burridge and Miss
Winnifred Mann united In Miss Mann's
room for closing exercises OF Christmas
character. Two trees bore presents for
every child OF book aud candy in baskets
OF the children's own manufacture. Mrs.
Burridge's pupils had also made calen-
dars, baskets OF wicker work aud articles
OF woven work for their friends. There
were about 30 adults present 70 enjoy the
1 AtsfFtknfiAn ~ Gifts and the llffla
gram OF reeitations and songs. The pu-
pills OF Miss Bertha Manney and Miss LII
| liam kuowlton met in the latter's room for
their Christmas exercises OF speaking and
singing. There were no trees here, but
each child was remembered with a pop
corn ball and mammoth stick OF candy,
while wax candles set In holders OF colored
paper frightened the scene. Santa Claus
had been iervently entrested in behalf OF
the teachers, all OF whom were the recipi-
ents OF pretty gifts.
W. Bates Nichols arrived Friday from
Dinuba, Cal, TO spend a fortnight with
his father, Judge VIM. VI. Nichols. Mr..
Nichols, Jr., who is an extensive fruit
grower and a member OF the Fresno (Cal.
Raisin Packers association, reports an I'M
usually good season, not so much on ac-
count OF the size OF the crop as the high
prices that the fruit commanded. Refer
ring to the action OF the San Francisco
school board in excluding Japanese chill
dren from the schools attended by white
children, he gives the opinion that the dif-
ficulty Is traceable to the strong labor
union sentiment that dominates San Fran
cisco. The average white workman finds
formidable competitor in the industri-
Gus, nimble japanese, and therefore looks
TO race discrimination as relief from OPP
pressive rivalry. In his town OF Dinuba
the proportion OF japanese children in the
schools is greater than that in San Fran
J cisco and they are as bright aud diligent
pupils and as little objectionable as theil
fairer schoolmates. In his own vineyard
this year, he hired white laborers at " Q
day and japanese at $40. and the only
mistake he made was in not hiring more
! japanese.
