NEWS FROM GOTHAM = On
Sunday, December II, 1850, the /
Modern School presented its an
nual Christmas time Festival at !
the Harlem Boys Club, % w. |
bath street. The theme was
timely for this festival, the title
being, children of One World.
Each class represented a differ
ent nation: the Dutch, Japanese
and French, being among those |
represented. Children in the
class, with the aid of the teacher,
designed and made the settings |
and costumes, and the unit of |
study for December became the
nation being represented. In this
sense it was a true Festival, the |
work of teacher, child and parent |
being combined into a single |
whole presentation. All who saw
the performance felt the children |
did a beautiful job and credit for |
direction and staging, goes to
Miss Mildred L. johnson, direc- !
tor of the school. Mrs. Eleanora |
Sellers, English specialist, and
teacher of the sixth grade. The |
