SCHOOL NOTES

What the Christmas spirit should
mean to us.--By Ruth Steel.
just the word Christmas is usu-
ally euongh to set our eyes To
sparkling and our feet to dancing
In anticipation of the good time
we have at Christmas, But In
spite of these good times, we do
not have the proper feeling to
ward Christmas and II does not
mean to us what it should.
or coarse God meant that it
shonld be the happlest time of the
year when he sent the child Christ
on this day to cheer aud brighten
the world, but he did not intend
that we should celebrate 1t as we
do. All that Christmas means to
most of us Is that it is a time when
Santa Clause comes to see us aud
we get lots Of good things to eat,
and we don't have to work or 70 to
school. But instead of this, we
should think Of it as q time when
there should be peace and good
will toward all mankind, an when
we should try to make every BODY
happy. We should not give gifts
those who we know are able to give
us one in return, but to those who
less fortunate than our selves, even
though we know that they can
give us nothing but gratifying
smile in return. On this day we
should remember the poor, the
sick, and all who are unhappy and
send them some token OF remem-
brance to brighten the DAYS for
them. This year. we have. an ua,
ussl opportunity 10 show a Christ
like Christmas spirit, for just
think of the many starving or.
phaus snd wounded soldiers over
10 France, whom we could help
greatly by sending them our money
instead of spending it on useless
things to satisfy our own selfish
desires.
II this Christmas we will all
make an extra effort to make others
happy and give some of our
money to the orphans and wound.
ed soldiers We shall learn the real
meaning OF Christmas and shall
be much happier as q result,
