] NO GIFT CUSTOM
 OF MIDDLETOWN
Local School Took Initiative
 Twenty Years Ago
LARGER CITIES ADOPT RULE
Through Efforts of Late superintend. ent Ferguson that Order Was Pass ed Fcrbiddina Pupils to oistri-
 bUte Preecnts to Teachers.

! Hartford The citizens of Middle town are interested in the agitation l that s going on in various other cities Of the state over the abolishing of the custom of allowing Christmas gifts 10 oe distributed in the schools. several 0r the boards of education ] in the larger cities having recently
 adopted rules 10 this effect. F is prob
 able that Middletown was tue pioneer 1 city in this respect as it was almost twenty years ago that this custom
 was done away with. The late Walter ] B. Ferguson was superintendent of schools at the time and it was through
 his efforts that an order was passed forbidding the distribution of gifts in the school rooms. It was thought at the time that if some of the children gave their teacher a gift it would make those who could not afford it feel uncomfortable, and hence 1t was decided to do away with the custom altogether, This has not prevented
 the children from presenting gifts to
 their teacher outside the school room.
 In talking about the matter Superin-
 tendent of Schools William A. Wheat
 ley said that many of the teachers in
 the lower grades still kept up the
 pleasant custom of providing Christ
 mas trees for the children in their rooms Each child received small
 box of candy or some fruit and ap
 propriste exercises were held. As
 this was done at the teachers ex-
 pense. the school authorities having
 nothing to do with t. and the board
 of education has seen no harm in this
 custom Dr. Wheatey said that this
 was not the only thing that the Mid
 dletown schools had taken the initia-
 tive in. for he mentioned the matter of school fraternities, which were abolished at the high school a num-
 Der Of years before New Britain, Bridgeport. New Haven and Hartford took the matter of abolition under ad- visement.
