Tues- day “will be the happiest time of all the glad new year” to the school children of Lhis city. The 1st of May, so filled with childhood memories, is_but forty-eight hours distant. The Maypole, with its dancing, happy children and the sound of their sweet young voices, will be seen and heard on the one day that is set apart for the little ones to make merry. This year the children will sing more blithely and dance more exuberantly, as they are to appear in a worthy cause.
