The Christmas holidays have passed uneventfully, and it is generally conced- ed that a duller season has never been experienced here. The stores and shops which are usually erowded on Christmas Eve night were practically deserted, and the only sign of unusual life on the streets was a small throng of boys who were merrily enough doing all they could to split one’s ears with the wild echoes of the redoubtable fog-horn. By 10.30 the town was as quiet as on any ordina- ry Saturday night. The 26th and 27th were observed by privafte pastime, no masquarading or other public diversion being in evidence. The observance of Christmas importance was, however, not absent in the churches where the usual serviees were hLeld.

GOVERNOR KITTELLE’S ADDRESS TO THE CHILDREN AND CITIZENS OF FREDERIKSTED DECEMBER 22, 1921. My dear Children, and you Fathers, Mothers and Friends: [ thank you very deeply, for having asked me to come to this your Christmas celebration, and as I see you sitting be- fore me I see those who are to be the future men and women of this commu- nity who are going t» be the successors of all of us in being eitizens of this com- munity. And [ know because of the splendid training which you are now re- ceiving that you are going to be better citizens, better men, and bett2r women, and more useful than I have been, or than your fathers and mothers have been. The public sechool whiech you attend is a branch of that great public school sys- tem of the United States. It is the very foundation of American Life. Ninety perceut of all the American people are educated in the publie school, and it is a wonderful privilege, and one not grant- ed, to my knowlege, to the same extent by any other country in the world. So that you can see my children that it is a nrivilegs & ~ 1= schools open to you Wlwu wuc very latest ey. ment, the best teachers and directors, ana “he most modern and approvad school booksx And I learn from your director that y&are taking very good advantage of ail these privileges. and that you aie doing re- markably well. lam much interested at your progress, and now today I have been asked to give to one of your High Schools one of these beautiful pictures of the National Capitol at Washington, given to you because you have made the record of attendance and promptness at school. In order to make it a success in life one must always be prompt and in time. The earth turns on its axis once in twenty-four hours and never varies one second. The earth moves around the sun in one year and it has never varied one second., God has set us an example of promptn s and exactness, and that is why you ‘uld be prompt at school. You children h.e earned this reward. Now my children I take great pleasur in presenting to you this picture, and you will send one of your members F he can take it. (Master Cecil M
