ANIMALS IN CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS

The Christmas customs In Norway
and Sweden are the most interesting
of any country. 1t is time of great
rejoicing. To show that there are
amicable feelings between every one
in the household the shoes are placed
in row at night in the hall when re-
firing on Christmas Eve. and, like the
German custom, candles are left burn
ing in the village windows all night
to light the way for 'Kristine," VINO
brings the gifts. The Christmas tree
is largely decorated with candles and
pretty cages arranged In bright color
ed baskets-a11 usually homemade.
The richer households send good
things to the poor. and everywhere
among both rich and poor are the AM
mails and birds remembered. The
boys and girls save up their pennies
during the year for this purpose.
Sheaves Of grain are fastened to the
window hedges in town, and in the
country the sheaves are fastened to
long poles and renewed every day for
weeE and many are the birds that
sDv the feast. On the barn floors OF
the peasants bowls Of hot porridge are
set for poor "Robin GOodfellOW' 10
comfort him because he has no soul"
The COWS and the horses share In the
general happiness by having doubla
share of food given them.
1t is a big skip from the NOrthlano
to the Southland or tropical countries
where Christmas is celebrated with
out the evergreen tree to decorate
and hang gifts on. In Brazil and 9TH
err Spanish countries the holiday may
be spent outdoors in the sunny flower
scented air.
They have quaint .superst1tfons III
these summer lands relative to "YuIe
tide" On the coffee plantations the
old folks say that on Christmas night
the animals have the gift Of speech
and that if only child has sufficient
courage to go out alone after dark ):
will hear. on the stroke Of twelve, the
cock crow in a loud clear voice from

Best Bridged C0nntr-

Swain county is probably the best
bridged county in the State with the
exception of Buncombe Four years
ago there was scarcely a wagon bridge
in the county. 1t was almost impos
sible for a stranger or one who was
not familiar with the fords to get
across the county. An automobile
was never seen. In the spring when
the streams were full many people
could not get to town or even to the
post Office.
Swain county has built eleven
bridges in the past year, ten of which
are concrete and one of steel. These
with two steel bridges that were al
ready built, make a total of thirteen
bridges in the county.-Bryson City

Graduating Essay Read by Miss Pauline Hbrahm at
Commencement Exercises OF ST. Joseph
High School

Friends and patrons of the st. Joseph
High School and Members of the
Class of 1916:
1t is my purpose to speak to you on
this subject, the beliefs of the class Of
1916. In this feel that | am voicing
the sentiments of each member of my
class.
Since education is foremost in the
minds of those who are interested in the
closing work Of any school, AMI in the
minds OF the members OF every gradual
ing class, it seems fitting that, before speak
ing of the beliefs concerning the graduating
class, should speak first of education
and what it has meant to us and should
mean to everyone.
/ believe that education should be a
social education.
/ believe that education is process OF
living as well as preparation for future
living.
/ believe that the school must repre-
sent life as real and vital to the child as
that which he carries on i'm the home.
| believe that education which does not
occur through forms of life that are worth
living tor, is a poor substitute for the
genuine reality and tends to cramp and
deaden.
l believe that school life should grow
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-05-26

gradually out of the home life, that it
should take up and continue the activities
with which the child is familiar in the
home.
/ believe that the graduating class
shonld be an embodiment of the nobler
principles Of the education of the school,
and of the aims of that school, and as
snch an example, to the other classes, in
spring them to higher and better things.
believe that the interests shown by
any class are the signs and symptoms of
growing power.
believe that the interests shown by
the class of 1916 of the st. joseph High
School are the symbols of the growing
powers of the members of this class, and
represent the dawning capacities of the
above named class.
l believe that there is before each OF US,
life such as we make it.
l believe that each of us will make that
life worth while.
/ believe in laughter, in love, in faith,
in all ideals and distant hopes that lure
us on.
I believe that every hour of every day
We receive Just reward for all we are
and for all we do.
believe in the present and its oppor-
tunities, in the future and its promises,
and in the divine joy Of living.
