PARENT-TEAcHER MEETING

The meeting of the Parent-Teacher
Association yesterday afternoon at
the high school building at 4 O'Clock
was well attended and the program
rendered was not only intensely inter
esting and enjoyable, but very bene-
fcia. This is an organization that
should be highly appreciated, for its
aims are most praiseworthy and the
parents of school children should not
neglect attending these meetings.
Yesterday afternoon the orchestra
of the school made its first public ap-
pearance, rendering two selections,
with Mrs. Cole as director. The num-
bers were greasiy enjoyed and the au-
dlence was disappointed that their
program was not longer, The Won
derful progress that the orchestra has
ade deserves the highest praise.
The president. Mrs. E. A. Osborne,
presided, and Miss Mamie Sheppard
acted as secretary After the regular
business meeting, Mrs. Rex Todd
spoke to the meeting on a new system
Of grading that the faculty wishes to
inaugurate. Others expressing their
approval and relating some of the
benefits to be derived from the meth
cd were Mrs. H. S. Wesson, Misses
Nellie Stevens and Shellie Souter.
Prof. Hensley was called upon to ex-
press his opinion on the subject under
discussion and did so in short adj
dress, favoring the new method of
grading and pointing OUT the only
disadvantage, which he said could be
remedied. This new system of grad
ing has been in use in Tampa for over
eight years and Jacksonville and
many other cities throughout the state
Rave adopted it and are very much
pleased with it.
No Star reporter attended the
meeting, it being understood that the
associations reporter would hand in
a written report of the meeting, but
phone message this morning stated
that some misunderstanding had oc-
carred and the Star was asked to
give this account of the meeting

does not do justice to the proceedings

WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS YOUNG
To Understand Mysteries OF the YUIs-
tide, lie 10 Necessary 70 Search
Ancient History.

STH lin the midst OF the rush and
SM 1 | excitement OF Christmas
S%lEE7 preparations certain Ques-
SSRES tons viii fash across the
mind. and we find ourselves
wondering why &c is that we do the
very same things Christmas after
Christmas. Why do we hang stock
ings, light Christmas trees, trim eur
homes and have plum puddingf
To understand the origin Of these
customs we must wander far back
into the forgotten past--ages before
julius Caesar set foot on British sou.
or st. Augustine told the story OF the
Cross to the men OF Kent. Hundreds
OF years ago-long before the year
the ancients, as we call the people
of those times, all Worshiped the sun,
the great giver Of light and life. In
the month OF March they built big
fires to it, asking 1t TO shine upon the
seeds they had planted and warm
them into life. In the autumn they
held another festival, thanking the
, sun for the harvest, and again, In the
winter time, they held the greatest
festival of all to celebrate the coming
Of the springtime.
In ancient Egypt, I'm AssyriA. In
Greece, on Roman soil and In the
northlands these festivals we're c0Ae-
brated year after year and always
about the same time, the winter one
being held about New Years time.
Wherever the Roman eagle waa
found, this feast was called the Sat
urnalia and 1t was marked by univer-
sal license and good feeling.
All at once Christianity appeared
upon the scene. As the policy Of the
early church was to reconcile heather
converts to the new faith by adopting
some of the heather customs and feS'
tivals, the new religion accepted and
retained many, and the result, as Il
easily seen, has been the strange
medley OF pagan and Christian rite
which we use at. Christmas time to
day.
After Britain was Christianized b.
the Romans, the Saxons and northern
tribes came, bringing their old north
ern rites, and as Christianity at last
replaced paganism the Christians KEEP
the old pagan rites, merely changing
their meaning.
For many years no two lands cele
brated the same day as the birthda!
of Christ. They did not know th'
exact day, and we do not know &c
but this date has now become thu
most important one I'm the worid'
history.

The Old Ace OF Santa cIaus.

In Anna Farquhar's Convictions"
I'm The National Magazine. she says:
"Santa Claus totters under his pack,
wearing a long, old face these days.
Probably In his youth he had no idea
of growing old or departing this life;
therefore when his enthusiasm and
1oyousness began to wane unaccount-
ably, he must have opined that the
world was tottering-nOt his own gen.
erous throne of life. Nowadays he
creeps down the chimney stealthily a.
IL somewhat ashamed Of his mission,
like polar burglar. and his eight tiny
reindeer make small clatter on the
lawn, for many of their JOY bells have
been lost. When Santa lays q finger
aside of his nose reflectiyeiy IN our
times, he exclaims. without a bit OF
Jolly shake below the waist: 'Degen-
crates! Degenerates! Has my world
come TO such a pass that people wish
to pay me for my presentsE Can IL
be that little children are so sUrfeited
with toys that they stop to ask how
much they cost before accepting them.
There was little Willie. last year, who
said TO his mamma, when he first saw
"a beautiful woolly dog. Whats 1t got
inside? Candy or money? Don't want
a dog Mess It's got somethin' In
side r't"
