Caldwell is a peculiar cuss. He.

There is no question of them how-

Ray is not as young as ht‘ used'to
be. And in Ed Barrow, the manager of

To the Board of Education.
Gentlemenzw
The four December weeks of school
brought. us from the very low average
attendance of the influenza days to
the good. regular attendance of the
early Fall and we closed the month
with a good quantity of Work ill all
sections of the city. Practically every
school room had done. some kind 01
Christmas program on the last half
day to which patrons Were invited
These programs were generally simple
consisting of school songs. essays and
declnmntions. with some good, ‘brlef
talks by the teachers and invited
speakers. Exercises were short and
pointed and seemed to bring to the
pupils a full measure of the genuine
Christmas spirit.
One feature of the programs at sev-
eral schools was the presentation of
medals and certificates from the Con-
necticut Council of Defence to our
boys and girlsqvho had won notable
results in their summer garden work.
Gifts from pupils to teachers and
from teachers to pupils,were discour-
aged but all joined liberally in bring-
ing Christmas cheer to others: One on
the most satisfactory features of these
occasions was the hearty response of
parents. There is too much feeling
here that patrons will not visit the
schools. It is my own belief that put‘
rons, everywhere. respond to the real
wish of the schools. It teachers and
pupils want them to attend their er- ‘
ercises they can always get them.
This tbeory- rimmed illiatnted- on
