ROZELLE is having its Christ
mas program in installments, be-
cause the halls must be used for
their carol singing and other enter
tainment this year. On Tuesday
the Orchestra and Glee Club per-
formed in the main hall Of the
school; today Thursday there
were room parties, with ice cream
cookies, stories, and songs; and to-
morrow the children sing carols in
the Railways. Guests, however
cannot be accommodated at RO-
zelle's celebrations this year, be-
cause of the lack Of space.
At CHAMBERS, the pupils OF
each room in turn sit on the stairs
in the lower hall while their class.
mates decorate the school tree. The
central stairs provide satisfactory
auditorium, junior size, for this
absorbing occupation. Meanwhile
the large auditorium stage has been
fitted with the church-scene panels
and props used each year for the
annual Christmas program, to be
held today.
SUPERIOR'S musical holiday
program is bigger than ever this
year, with special instrumental
performance featured. A brass
quartette, consisting of three trum-
pets and a baritone horn, is provid-
ing stirring Christmas music along
with the songs of various rooms.
Nor must one forget to mention
the Autoharp, something of a
Superior School institution, that
adds just the right touch to Yule-
tide harmonies.

Suppose you're eight years old,
and in school you read an article in
the paper you get, called "My
Weekly Reader" that leaves some
unanswered questions in your mind.
What do you do?
This was the problem faced by
the boys and girls in Mrs. Kathe-
rine Knife's third grade class in
Mayfair School some weeks ago. In
their Weekly Reader" they had
studied an article about a new in
vention, called a Picture-Telephone,
that they wanted to know more
about.
The article described this little
set, like a table radio, that had a
picture screen like a television. 1t
said that you could turn it on and
see the person you were talking to
on the telephone. And then the
article stopped there, though it did
show a picture of the set.
The children wanted to know a
number of other things about this
invention. So they mailed a letter
to the magazines office, asking
some questions about it.
The questions that they asked
were these. When can people buy
these sets? How much will they
cost? Are they of different sizes,
shapes, and colors? What are the
different buttons in the picture
for? Is the picture shown by the
screen in color?
And one more question, that we
imagine the girls thought up: Sup
pose the other person doesn't want
to be seen. What then?
The editor of "My Weekly
Reader" answered the letter the
other day, and replied to most OF
the questions asked by the children
She told them that these sets can
not be bought yet, and that they
would still be very expensive. But
she said that the person on the
other end of the line wouldn't have
to be seen if they didn't want to
They just wouldn't press the button
on their set.
Mrs. Knife's pupils will keep this
letter, to show boys and girls car
find out more information, if they
really want to, about some subject
in a magazine or newspaper.
