Appropriate exercises were held In the differcnt reoms, after which all grades came together and listened to an _address by Coumehiman Gordon, Who spoke of his leaving m student's work for that of a soldier, and related some of his experiences as one. He closed by urging the children to love theiw country. The ex- ercises closed by all present joining in sing- ing ‘“‘America.” “The pupils of Farnam school observed Memorial day with sppropriate exercises. Captain Jenkins deliversd an address, which was listened to by many of the parents as well as the children. The entertainment closed with the “flag salute” and the sing- ing of “America” by the school. AT CENTRAL SCHOOL. At Central school Wednesday the entire afternoon was devoted to the observance of Memorial day. The halls and rooms werc decorated with flags and bunting, swords, guns and other relics in keeping with the spirit of the day. In many of the rooms there were blackboard illustrations of the famous naval battles of the war, the flags pictures of “Old Abe'’ school house where he “went to Appfopriate programs were given Qifferent rooms until 2:30, when measured tread the school assembled in the lower ball to the strains of the fun- eral march, “‘Marionettes,” most effectively rendered by Miss Mary Petty. The general exercises opened with the song ‘“‘Our Na- tion's Dead,” feelingly sung by the higher grade pupils. Miss Carrie Goldsmith of the seventh grade recited in a pleasing manner an extract from Lincoln's address at Getty burg. The five primary rooms then pall their tributes to the dead heroes. Master Jamie Detwiler of the fourth grade recited ‘We're Coming, Father Abrabam.” The song “When Johnny Comes Marching Home" followed, Miss Dapline Crane sing- ing the solo parts and the entire grade join- ing in the chorus. The principal, Miss Ham- ilton, then introduced Mr. D. B. Sargent of the Grand Army of the Republic, who gave the address, a description of the battle be- tween the Kearsarge and Alabama. Mr. Sargent was a participant in the encounter, having been an officer on the Kearsarge. At the conclusion of the address the s:hool gave the salute to the flag. The program closed with ‘““America,” the guests joining with the school in singing. The pupils then returned to their respective rooms and marched from the building, keeping time to the familiar strains ot “Marching Through Georgla."” WHAT WALNUT HILL DID. and the in the At 2 p. m. the pupils of Walnut Hill school assembled in the upper hall of the building, where the program was carried out. Colonel Gillespie set forth tho fssue of the civil war, told why we celebrate Me- morial day and pledged the children to support the government and the flag. He said he would have been glad to tell them more of the war, but as they were obliged to stand he limited his remarks to fifteen minutes. Rev. L. E. Hawk followed with a five minutes’ talk. The addresses were well recolved by the pupils, who at the close thanked the gentlemen for coming. The part of the program furnished by the pupils was appreciated by their schoolmates, who encored everything from first to last. To close the schools marched out of the build- ing with flying flags and happy faces, glad of an approaching holiday. Fort Omaha school spent very little time in preparing a program to be carried out Wednesday afternoon. But a very pleasant hour passed in singing patriotic songs and reciting suitable selections. During the past week the teachers tried: to impress on the minds of the children the true meaning and sacredness of Memorial day, having learned from _observation that the true spirit of the day is often forgotten or not felt by the children in the heyday of a school en- tertainment. Mr. Durban and Mr. Hender- son, representatives of the Grand Army of the' Republic, made short speeches and held the attention of their young listeners. At the Central Park school the first four grades combined their program, which opened at 1:30 with a patriotic song. Willle St. Clair, first grade, gave the welcome speech, which was followed by songs, recitations, a dolls drill and a militiry drill. At 2:30 the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades lis- tened to an impressive address by the speaker of the day, William L. Allison. They ren- dered a program. TRANSACTIONS AT TRAIN. Exercises at the Train echool consisted of appropriate songs and recitations by the pupils. Added to these was a hoop drill given by twelve little girls. Prof. Alfrd O. Muller and Miss®* Agnes Heyne gave severa: zither duets, much to the delight of the pupils and their friends. The absence of the mem- ber of the Grand Army, who was to address the school, was a great disappointment to all Gibson school decorated with flags, leaves blossoms and flowers. A large basket of boquets was sent to dccorate the soldie graves, wild pond lilies and rose good number of parents and visitors attended. Mr. Parker spoke for the Grand Arm The day was fittingly observed at Mason school by short general excreises in the large hall, In which all the different grades took part, from the little tots of the kindergarten up to the eighth grade. Major Clarkson was the speaker. At the conclusion of his address ho was the recipient of a handsome bouquet of roses from the school. A large number of parents of the pupils were present as visi- tors. During the last three-quarters of an hour the sixth, seventh and eighth grades gave a grand musteal in the large eighth grade room. For want of room and shade the memorial exercises at the Davenport school were wholly coafined to indoors. The pupils assembled in the procipal’s room, which had been appro- priately decorat:d for the occasion. A pro- fusion of green boughs, fresh flowers, growing vines at the windows, a subdued light and a fragrant qulet, lent to the atmosphere a kind of “peace on earth, good will to man” effect. The exercises opened with song by the pri- mary children, followed by readings, recita- tions, etc,, by dfferent members of the schools, the whole being interspersed by mu- sfe. Judge Eller, speak:r of the day, was most happy in his choice of words in his introductory remarks to the children, winning at once their hearts and awakening their in- terest. He so adapted himself to his young hearers as to claim their eager attention throughout his address. The exercises closed with presentation of flowers and song, ‘‘Amer- fca.” AT SACRED HEART ACADEMY. At the Day Academy of the Sacred Heart, Twenty-seventh street and St. Mary's avenue, Memorial day exercises were conducted with the usual enthusiasm. The morning recita- tions were made the occasion of many in- structice reminiscences of the dead heroes. At 3:30 p. m. the pupils were assembled in the large study hall to receive the orator of the Major J. B. Furay. The hall was artistically draped in the national colors. A short literary program preccded the “Welcome.” The "entree; ““The Red, White and Blue,” played on‘twe pianos, with violin and mandolin accompaniment, was followed by “The Star Spangled Banner,” full chorus, after which was a short dialogue, breathing love of American customs and devotion to the flag. One of the:young ladies then de- livered an address, dwelling on the senti- ments born of the occasion. She concluded by extending a hearty welcome to the speaker, assuring himi that the Convent of the Sacred Heart ever throws open its doors to those who carry a high standard of na- tional love of true patriotism. Rev. Thomas Walsh then introduced Major Furay, who arose and spoke eloquently on the significan of the day's celebration. A chorus, “Amer- fca,” with plano and vielin accompaniment, closed the afternoon's entertainment Memorlal day was: celebrated with due honor at St. Peter's #oheol. The school hall was beautifully decorated with plants and flowers, while the stars and stripes, taste- fully arranged, festooned the walls and ceil- ing. The exercises opened with the song ‘Guard the Flag.” Rev. Father Walsh in a few appropriate and most patriotic remarks introduced the speaker, Mr. Garrety of the Grand Army of the Republic, who charmed the children for over forty minutes with the recital of Interesting incidents of the war. He referred in a touching mann:r to the noble band of heroes who are rapidly passing away, but whose memory will remain forever fresh’ In the hearts of all over whom the starry banner sheds light and joy and free- dom. He recommended the young peopl: to love the flag and venerate those who sac- rificed all they held dearest in this world to | save it. Master Harry Bethge recited with | The terminated a song “God Bless Our Land” most agreeable afternoon. A flag raising was part of the program at Druid Hill school. The prisentation speech was by Mr. Carter, the address for the Grand Army of the Republie being made by Dr. H. Gulick. A long program of songs and recita- tions was rendered.
