In the lergartens the children begIn to learn of Christmas weeks before Its arrival. Some of them wOlll never know It otherwise They come from homes where Santa Claus has t never halted , and their only Christmas Is t hat which comes to them within the school L room doors . I Is a new world to their childIsh minds , all they revel In Its enjoyments - ments with an abandonment which must be t tlled to he 111erstoOl SOle of them r 1ever heard of Christ or of 10thl hem. The words were never spol"n In their ThiI I Irninee. But every pure nod lofty sontment of the day has heon Inculcated through the ( lethOls or the kindergarten. The games they pIa ' and the songs they sing have al 1 . been Ingenuously [ arranged so that each hn- Presses on their infantile Imaginations semi measure of Its meaning. They are taught unselnshne9 as they wore day after day 1 making pretty things to give tu others , ant I they arc mode to fell and understand before they are taught to thlnle. Whie the methods el1plod In the vallous kindergartens In the city are very simIlar , each teacher has a Particular [ basis on which her work Is founded. I may b9 a story In whIch the chIldren are led to follow the characters through their wanderings or thc s asons , or any other subject which Is hroad work. enough tu alord a groundwork for the year' a - A t CoinIne,11i14.

' Tile legend of the ChrIst chIld and the Gee man custom of celebrating ChrIstmas Is told' I ' In the name or 11 s Alvlda Cummings . one of the characters of the book. The natul'e and language work Is emphasized by the oli- servaton or the different specIes of ever green trees.

The Chrlst las exercises al Comm nlls : were given on Thursday and Friday mornings ! In the presence of a considerable number or , the parents and lends ot the p01)115. The exercises were simply a repetItion of the songs and games that form n part of the everyday work of the kindergarten . except ) hint those were selected that wore cspeclaly appropriate to the occaslen. In tIre mIddle of the roqln a large Christmas tree was loaded with pretty hits of the handiwork of the' children. These consIsted of letter case , card cases and a dozen other dainty fabrlca - . 10lS or tinted' paper , and nothing could 1 1me mom surprising than the artistic Instnct which Is shown In the work or these smal chidren. The cirittireti' were very Unselfish In their Christmas work , not thInkIng of s In making their gifts. However , they were not forgotten , as their hearts were gladdened bya box or magtcmt 1"Iorhla oranges pr 0- sented by Miss Wely , which wih the candy anti popcorn , make a beautiful Interchange . of happiness. The exercises opened with the clulidr tim standIng In a circle singing a lively Christmas t- inns carol , and then a number of pretty exorcises - orcises were executed to a musIcal accom- paniment. The language work Is Iustated In the game of "Ncwsboys. " A. number of 4 A little boys don their Irate and each carrying a package of newspapers under his arm , they < take their ( stand In different parts of the ; room. The little newsboys dlslrlbuto the I papers to the children on the circle all receive - tlne ceive : In return Imaginary nlclces , while al Come this svay , dear laddie , 'and wc'l buy a lIce .

Then each child pretends to read from lhe paper lome story relating to the thought , being carried out In thl' work , and hy these ,1 methods they are taught at once to express themselves and to cultivate a Ilower of iran g.
