entire session Is. nevertheless, one
of activity and general feStiyity,

week and reaching its height on
Nardi Gras day. On the day be-

"The Universal Xmas. .

South side Of the Shenandoah river i.
to witness on Christmas Day, not ohIy
the celebration of the best known ant
most widely observed day wherever the
Angle Saxen has brought his humaniz-
| ing forces to bear, but to all, from the
infant ia it's mothers arms to the full
grown child, the ebeautiful Spirit Of
Xmas comes, in all its radiance Of
beauty, surrounded by the halo Of Him
who spake as never man spake.
The Universal Xmas tree is donated
by the Southern Mountain Preparatory
School. Chas. Carroll Brooks, Founder.
and is to teach that Universal good
can at least be widely circulated and
even bring glad tidings to an entire
community; the Founder with his corps
of trained workers, believing in the
child life Of the mountains has made
the Universal Spirit of glad tidings
more Of q feast this year than eyer be-
fore.
The Foundation Of the &. M. P.
School was laid in July 1905 with SO
books placed in the care Of Uncle
George Staubs, and who guarded his
trust faithfully for one year. but in
that time he had accomplished more
than all the previous years Of his life,
for he had been the guardian of trust
that is destined in future years to play
q prominent part in the development Of
the child life of the Appalachian range,
that extends from Maryland to the
coast Of Florida and has a greater pop
ulation than ten States west Of the
Ohio river.
The man or woman who has no given
point to reach ON Xmas day will do well
to climb the mountain road that leads
from Harpers Ferry and join the chill
dren. for not only will each home be
represented but the whole community
will be there, to join in the festivities
that mean SO much to childhood and its
future development ard it's larger
growth towards the Spirit of Human
itarianism. C C. B.
