VALUE OF PAGEANCY.
1t Car Be Made Method Of Teaching
History and Patriotism.

History and Patriotism.
The medieval church made good use
of pageantry in celebrating the church
holy days. The common people, who
could read neither their own tongue
nor the latin vulgate, learned of
Adam and Eve, Noah, Samson, Da-
vid and Go-iah the acts of the apos-
ties and all the sacred mysteries by
the church or in pageants led through
the streets, The method is olsa en-
ployed in reylying scenes that typify
a peoples history the acts of its
heroes, and the manners of its an
cestors. The pageants in which tie
children Of this city will take part
in the Hudson-Fulton celebration
next month, under a committee head
ed by Mr.. Samuel Parsons, will per
sonify the Indian aboriginies and rep
resent their modes of living, their
wigwams, tepes, canoes, tomahawks
and snowshoes; the Dutchman of the
Time OF 1ElSI IOJuy NeSdulj HIS llouoS
and furniture and wooden legged self,
and many scenes of Manhattan's vii
lage as it looked in the seventeenth
century, and of the "long houses" of
the Iriquois.
The method Of teaching history and
patriotism in pageants in adapte to
the needs of this community of i'm
migrant peoples 1t it said that many
Of their children are impervious to
the teaching of the schools. But
such shows will appeal to their i'm
aginations and to the interests OF
their parents, Their adoption into
American citizenship may fifty be ac-
or preceded by some knowl
,dge of the events that gave birth
md growth to the nation. OF course
he shows in September will serve as
precedent for our next celebration
