Public School Notes Holiday Closures and Programs
After four months of pleasant work the schools closed for the holidays until January 2. Three teachers took county exams for certificates. Christmas exercises were held with prime emphasis on a central Christmas tree. The high school staged an elaborate program and a notable debate on whether Santa Claus representations should continue. The janitor Horace Williams received a surprise gift of a rocker, a turkey, and cranberries. Several teachers planned travels, while others stayed in Colorado or Lamar. Local ads promote chocolates, remedies, and services, and a clubbing offer for the Register and Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean.
