WHITTIER'S BIRTHDAY
Exercises Concentrating the One
Hundredth Anniversary Of the
Poets Birth Held Today.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE uni
versal regard in which the memory of
John Greenleaf Whittier is held was
given expression throughout New
England today by exercises commem-
Grating the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the poets birth. In Haver-
hill, where the poet was born, in
Amesbury, where he spent so many
of the most important years of his lit
erary life, and in other towns and
cities interesting observances were
held. In this section there was
scarcely a public school or literary
society which did not devote some
time to the memory of the man whose
writings touched the common heart
of humanity.
The most elaborate celebration was
that held at the poets home in Ames-
bury, where Mr. Whittier lived for
more than fifty years and where he
wrote Snow Bound" and other ia
nous poems. The exercises were
held under the auspices of the Whit
tier Home Association, and consisted
of a varied program of addresses,
readings and recitations from Whit.
tiers poems. The Grafton of the day
was delivered by Governor Guild.
