Programs Adopted.

So, instead of trying to kill the
spirit of Christmas, the teachers and
the official force try to develop it. con-
trolling it. however. in such q way that
the children receive greater benefits
from their studies at this time. per-
haps. than under usual circumstances.
Truly it is wonderful how absorbing
may become 4 problem that deals with
sleds. dolls. drums and all sorts of
toys. Also. it is remarkable how popu-
lar the reading lesson becomes when
it is centered around Dickens Tiny
Tim"
In some of the schools Tiny Tim
may be seen Wednesday. when the
schools will close until the first Mon
day in 1915. Dickens christmas
Carol is one of a number of stories
which prove popular for characterization
the schools playlets have been writ
ten by the teachers themselves or by
the pupils. In some a miniature Kris
kringle will be found Wednesday. 1t
undoubtedly will be one of the great
est. one of the finest. one of the most
enjoyable days of the entire school
year.
Much more interest is taken in
Christmas by the pupils of today than
by those of yesterday. according to
officials of Washington schools-who
attended the schools of yesterday. The
only institution wnere a Christmas
tree was to be found in the good
old days was Sunday school. But
now large per cent of the public
schools have them. Provision is made
by the board of education for the pur-
chase of a tree for every kindergar-
ten. On these are hung little. mex
Jensive yet precious gifts which the
youngest OF all school children have
made for their parents. st. Nicholas

READY FOR THE COMING
OF "0LD SANTA CLAUS"
School Children Preparing for Cele-
brations Under the Guidance
of Teachers.

If ever, once upon n time. YOU were
a boy or girl. you will recognize that
smell of pine; the ''Chrstmasy" odor
that fills the air. And it may surprise
those of another generation when
switches were the only parts of a tree
that ever decorated a schoolroom - to
know that it is from the rooms of the
schools themselves that the aroma of
the forests is stealing.
This is the week-or to be more eN-
| act. the part of a week-before Christ
| mas. These are the days when eN-
pectation lines every face: when school
children may be less mischievous. but
are certainly more nervous than usual;
and when. every one knows. the great
est of all juvenile holidays is near at
| hand.
Preparations for the fitting. although
somewhat premature, celebrations of
the day are well under way in prac
tical1y every public school of the Dis
trict. Long ago the teachers and heads
of the educational system of Washing
ton have recognized the futility of try
ing to suppress juvenile spirits at
Christina stide-nor would they do so
if they could.

BAND WAGON POLITICS.

One of the most deplorable condi-
tions that exist in American politics
is a mad desire on the part of the pee
pie to get aboard the bandwagon.
Men will support candidates they
believe unworthy, who. stand for leg
islation they do not endorse, simply
because they think they are winners
and they want to ride on the band
wagon.
Men will sacrifice principle; break
solemn pledges and stulify themselves
for the privilege of trotting like a
dog under the Band Wagon.
The Band Wagon does not carry
anything but men who blow horns and
beaz 3drums, and who do not own the
uniforms they wear or the instru-
ments they bang and blow. The Band
Wagon performs no useful function.
1t carries neither freight or passen-
gers or makes regular trips between
different stations. It is an institution
for show but not for use. 1t is al
ways made of the poorest material /;
it's paint is tinsel and it's ornaments
are sham, and the men who ride in it
are paid for riding, anG the only OBJ
ject of it's journeys is to cause people
to forget what they ought to remem-
Der. A manure cart is of more gen.
uine use and value to the world than
all the band wagons in existence.
Yet, just start the "Band Wagon"
cry and all the people will rush for it.
There is nothing so ailuring to the
average man as an apparent major
ity, and we will never achieve any
real reform until the great truth is
brought home to the people that the
man who has God and right on his
side is in a majority if he stands
alone.

THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING.

There is something personal and in
dividual about births, marriages and
deaths, and as rule they should be
inviolate from public comment, and
especially adverse public comment, SO
we fully made up our mind that we
would keep our opinion of the recent
incongrous January and June union
lately soleminized at the White House
to ourselves.
We opined that if the young, viva
cious daughter Of the President of the
United States felt like swapping her
youth and vivacity for share Of the
venerable "McAdoo's" millions and
was willing to minister to the whims
and idosynerasies of crotchy old
man in return for the privilege of
presiding over his stately mansion
and being mistress over his retinue
of liveried servants, it was none of
our blooming business.
If Grandpa McAdoo, the eighteen
months widower, firing of widower's
weeds, wanted to adopt a daughter
81 years his junior, and about the
same age as his wedlock begotten
daughter, via the marriage route as a
plaything for his declining years, it
was no concern either to ourselves or
the public, but when the sloppy Wash
ington correspondents, gushing like
a newly shot oil well, spread pages
of extravagant adjective description
of this weird, mis-mating, accompan-
led by double column engravings of
the bride in her wedding costume, sur
rounded by myriads of scantily clad

assert that true connubial affection

Experiment. Disproves Theory Cor
corning Effect of Oats.

The statement has been frequently
made by dairymen that the feeding OIL
crushed oats to cows improves the Gal
vor of the milk, says the America
Agriculturist. 1t is interesting to note
that this matter was tested out by the
federal department of agriculture. A
ration Of cornmeal. bran and cotton
seed was fed as against a grain mil,
ture of crushed oats and cottonseed
meal Samples of milk were taken
from the cows fed these rations and
submitted to different individuals b
express their preference without know
ing anything in regard to the source Of
the milk. In all fifty opinions wers
passed on various samples. or theS
sixteen showed preference for The
milk from cows fed on crushed oah
twenty-five preferred that from ths
bran and corn ration. while nine Ell
pressed no choice.
These results show that on these raj
tons there was no marked difference
in favor of crushed oats as a feed n|

containing bran and corn was mor|
successful In producing milk of a finer
favor than the crushed oats.
