tributed to the fund for the Christ

casion brought to the girl students of
that worthy institution.

some friends of the school were
gathered in its parlor to see the tree
unloaded 1t was pretty and SYM
rnetrical tree. as large IS the room
would allow, and was most artistically
Illuminated and arranged.
The ceremony began with music,
followed by prayer from Rev. c. H.
Trout, and then a selected band of
the girls gave appropriate scenes,
recitations and songs. A number OF
these young folks have considerable
amount of talent for such entertain
ment, and it is fully brought out by
their painstaking superintendent and
teacher, Miss Kite and Miss Me
Creary.
The little entertainment over, the
presents were distributed. They were
plentiful in number and well chosen
and brought much joy to their young
recipients. The girls were not content
with being receivers-m many pretty
and useful things made by their skill
full fingers were given to their teach
ers and other friends.
A social hour followed, with musit
and conversation, and when the Httl,
gathering dispersed each and ever!

today by every nation in the world.
We are wont to picture Christmas
with fir tree, bright with icicles and
surrounded by drifts of feathery
snow, but we forget that in the coun-
try where the first Christ-mass was
celebrated, Bethlehem of Judea, was a
warm country, probably with a eli
mate similar to our own. So with
this in view may we not say that ev-
erything was perfect in which to cele-
brate the years great feast, Christ
mas, and the civic tree on Christ
mas eve was fitting introduction to
the happy day that followed.

CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT
AT LAKE WEIR CLUBHOUSE

Brightness, warmth and yuletide
cheer radiated from the pretty home
of the Lake Weir Yacht Club Friday
evening when Eastlake residents,
numbering nearly 100, with a few
friends from Lake Weir, gathered
around a gayIy decorated Christmas
tree to celebrate the approaching
birthday of a King"
Mrs. Arthur Crevinston of Atlanta,
who with her family is living at
Woodmar this winter, was chairman
of the committee of arrangements and
was ably assisted by several of the
many capable members of the club.
Mrs. Crevinston is a charming
woman, possessed not only of an at
tractive personality, but a beautiful
voice which she uses most generously
in giving pleasure to others. She is
soprano soloist in one of the promi-
nent churches of Atlanta, and is a
real acquisition to Eastlake society
this winter.
After a half hour spent in cordial
greetings and admiring the tree,
which with its gay Christmas decora-
tions lowered to the ceiling, the guests
settled themselves to enjoy the brief
program. America" was sung most
heartily by all, led by Mrs. Crevin-
ston. Miss Lillian Whistletrough re-
cited a Christmas poem and trio,
f composed of Mrs. and Miss Whistle

Night"

an imperative rap at the door herald

who burst into the room carrying his
well-laden pack on his back, and, fol-
lowed by admiring children and the
gaze of no less interested grown-ups,
proceeded to the side of the tree, urg-
ing everyone to form in line and
come forward for a present.
No one was omitted, and the walls
echoed with merry laughter as each
one opened his gifts in public, and it
was seen that "six-footer" received
a diminutive automobile; another a
loaded cigar; others marvellous fash
lights, which when pressed released
frightful serpents, performing dolls
/ etc. Tiny horns and screeching bal
looms added to the gaiety of the oc-
casion.
/ There were home made popcorn
balls that melted away in your mouth
and candy bags galore. Everybody
Joined right heartily in making the
evening grand success. Mrs. Grew.
inston and Mrs. WhistIetrough sang

Beautiful Eastlake seems to be en-

fact that six new houses have been
erected or are in process of construc-

several winter residents are so fasci-
mated with the charm of the place
that they are thinking strongly of

WANTS HIS CITIZENSHIP

One subject thought in some quar-
ters Debs would discuss with the gov
ernment officials was his status under
the Communication of sentence, which
while releasing him from the peniten-
tiary does not operate 70 restore him
to citizenship.
Debs when he came unattended and
unheralded to Washington last spring
to confer with the attorney general, is
understood to have expressed himself
as opposed to any extension of cleni-
eEcy other than a pardon which
would restore his full civil rights and
would in a measure amount to recog-
milton o fhis contention that he had
done no wrong. This view govern
ment officials have refused to accept,
ard the attitude Debs will assume in
consequence is considered likely to be
detailed in his conference with Attor-
ney General Daugherty and possibly
with President Harding.

Tens of Thousands of Children in
United States Are Reported
Housed in Firetraps.
REPORTS FROM >429 CITIES
453, 900 Pupils Either on HaIf-Time
Study or in Unsuited Quarters
Survey Conducted by Chamber
of Commerce Committee.

New York-Tens of thousands of
school children housed in firetrapS and
hundreds of thousands of them either
on half time or in makeshift buildings
is the condition in 429 cities Of the
United States. as disclosed in a report
made public here.
| The report was issued by the ma
! tiOnal committee for chamber of COM
merce cooperation with the public
schools on a survey conducted by the
American city bureau.
The committee was organized in
| February, 1920, to inquire into school
conditions. It's executive committee
is headed by George D. Strayer of
| Teachers college, Columbia university,
New York.
The evidence presented shows
clearly that there are tens of thou
sands of children now housed in old,
unsanitary, dangerous buildings" says
Mr.. Strayer in his introduction to the
report. MANY Of these structures are
best classified as firetraps"
Data From 42o Cities.
Data was received from 429 cities.
The report says: These facts, OBJ
tanned from rs per cent of all the
cities reporting, show that in these
cities, even excluding those housed
in annexes where conditions may be
normal, there are more than $4,000
children who are either on half time
because Of lack of building space or
are housed in portables, rented build
ings, attics, Easements or corridors.
1t would require an average of two
SO-room buildings in each of these cit
les to properly house these groups of
children alone"
The report sets forth statistically
the inadequacy Of playground space.
st is clear that in many cities chill
dren are now housed in buildings in
which there is less space on the play
ground than is supplied in the class
rooms in which they are taught" says

These facts of limited playground

Of the serious problems confronting
those who are interested in the well

Whatever the cost, adequate play
ground space should be provided for
those school buildings already erect

will be considered a breach of trust
for school authorities to erect q school
building on site that will not afford
adequate playground space for all the
pupils housed in the building"
Few Fireproof Buildings.
On the subject OF fire hazard in
schools the report states: 'Only five
per cent Of the total number of build
