MISS ADAMS
 KINDERGARTEN XMAS

Among the effective Christmas cele- brations in the schools this season was that yesterday at Miss Roberta Adams Kindergarten, when her pupils assem- bled to enjoy the festivities.
 The spacious Kindergarten rooms were beautifully decorate with tinsel and cedars and all sorts of lovely Christmas things which the little chill dren had made themselves under Miss Adams efficient supervision and in one corner of the room there was a large Christmas tree, holly decked, tinsel trimmed and wonderfully lovely.
 Miss Adams announced to the audi ence, which was composed of the par cnts and friends of the little pupils of her Kindergarten that she had made no programme for the Christmas exercises, but would let the children select theft own mode of entertaining, choosing games and songs from the regular kim dergarten programme used every day.
 Pussy Passed By" was the first game played by a half dozen of the children, and it was beautifully done and elicited much applause.
 The Chickadee Song" followed with a half dozen more pupils taking part, while the Heel and Toe" which the whole school practically participate ted in, was measured to the tune gaily played on the Victrola.
 Other games followed and then the little pupils were asked to recline their little heads on their chairs and go to sleep as word had been sent forth that His Majesty" MT. Santa Claus, was on the way
 The lights were all extinguished and MT. Roy Knight, MT. J. l.. Drennen and MT. Elliott Knight, from the audience were asked to light the tapers on the Christmas tree. In tn emeantime old Santy" in his red suit, ermine trimmed, his long white whiskers floating in the breezes and his big, round Yum Turn shaking as he laughed with glee over the many presents he was going to leave for the children.
 Miss Adams then gave the signal for everybody to wake up," and the little folk were bewildered.
 Reins and harness with sleigh bells had been deposited before each child, while cornicopas filled with dainty bonbons and candies were given law ishly by "Old Santy" and a general good time was enjoyed.
 Miss Adams announced then that Santa Claus Land would be sung and the children joined in with great zest and joy, marking the finale of the beau tiful Christmas celebration. Miss Adams is wonderfully successful in teaching children, her rare grace and tact fitting her chaymingly for such work, and the numberless Christmas gifts given her by her little pupils showed the great esteem and love in which she is held.
 The little folk will have Christmas week as a holiday at Miss Adams kin dergarten. resumng their duties on Monday. January ,.
 Miss Adams numbers in her kinder garten the following little pupils: Will liam Hazard, Jr., Frank Walkers Smith. Jesse l.. Drennen, Jr. Ivan Friedman, Cosby Hodges, Alfred Thom- ason, Paul Mitchell, Jr., John Sharpe Roberts, Andrew Ramsay, Jr.. Margie White, Gene Ireland. Richardine Mas sey, Annette Hatcher, Sadie Roberts, Doris Lassiter, Bernice Lokey, Geral- dine Embry. Mary Mcintosh, Roy Knight Jr, and Eliza beth Norment.

ated in JnIs country by the citizens
of Gloucester, Mass; that place of
departure for so many who go down
to the sea in ships and never return.
Observing Decoration Day is pure
y an American custom. 1t is the
day set apart to the memory of the
soldiers and sailors who fell in the
Civil War 1876. Decoration Day
was originally called Memorial Day,
and is observed by professions and
orations in honor of the dead. The
day observed once differed in many
states, but usage has settled on May
Goth, which has been set aside as a
Legal Holiday. This day has been
chosen, it is said, because it was
the date of the discharge Of the last
soldier of the Union Army in the
Civil War.
Decoration Day is observed as a
Morris tribune., 1920-05-28

holiday at every Naval Station and
on board every ship, of the Navy,
whether in port or at sea. Church
services are held in the morning, at
midday salute of 21 minute guns
is fired and the afternoon is given
over to athletic events. If the ship
is in port there is usually a parade
ashore followed by baseball games,
track meets and other forms Of en-
tertainment. .-.'@ =
The casting of flowers upon the
waters is becoming more and more
a part of every city's Decoration Day
observances. It indicates a. warm
place for our sailor dead in the hearts
of the nation, and lifts somewhat of
it's bitterness from the unknown and
unmarked grave in the deep. From
the sluggish waters of the small
streams to the mountainous waves of
the ocean beneath which sleep the
brave boys of the American Navy,
the ceremonies are always touching
and imprint upon our minds that the
sailors who have given their lives
that the country should not perish
have not done so in vain.
