EFFORTS OF PERFORMERS
GREETED WITH PRAISE
Christmas Entertainment Last Night
at the National Training
School for Boys.

Christmas entertainment that ELECTED
warm praise from those who were pres
ent was given last night at the National
Training School for Boys, out on the
Bladensburg road. Among the auditors
we're Judge Robb, Mr.. Duhay and other
members Of the board of directors. They
complimented Supt. o. z. DarnalI upon
the manner in which he had arranged the
program. which included a Christmas
play. Wandering shepherds on the plains
were shown; then the star of Bethlehem
appeared. The story of the birth OF
Christ was read by James A. Burnett,
teacher in the school, who was con-
cealed behind the scenes. Then was
heard the voice telling the shepherds
where the Christ Child was to be found.
A discussion between a Roman soldier
and a Hebrew followed. and the shep-
herds departed in search of the child
Jesus.
The scene in the inn at Bethlehem was
realistic, and was made more SO by the
singing by a quartet Of boys OF the song
mo Room at the Inn" The fitting
finale was the finding of the Christ Child
In the manger by the adoring shepherds
and the singing OF HAL to the Infant
King
A feature of the occasion was the play
ing of the boy bandsmen of the National
Training School for Boys Band. The
lads were praised by all who heard them.
The instruments used were donated by
an anonymous friend of the institution.
The boys of the school received gifts
this morning. The rest Of the day will
be given up to pastimes. There Will be
religious exercises In the chapel at ,
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
