MAX S. GOWE LL.
Max: Oowcll entered the Normal School in tho
fall or 1800 and t'(!maln•d two lull yenrs, taking

which fitted him best lor his ~·ork in the 1'\ormal,
nnd for his • ·ork as teacher "'as his earnest stu·
dent·splrlt combined with t. certain maturity of
thourtn. and action. Bls was the clean, cheerful,
courteous demeanor which marked the rcntlcman
in every relation or life.

CHRI STMAS 11'1 T H E KI I'IDEROART£1'1 .
Of all holidays celebrated In the kindergarten
Cbrl.otmas Is the one most app...,iated by the
children. While the day seems to them a remote
· occasion and befo re their thoughts are centered
on Santa Claus, toys, and trees, it Js "·ell to pre·
sent. the more serious side of Christmas and tell
tbu&<>r10fJe•""• his birth and child hood, avoid·
ing tbe purely religious a'sJll'(:rOf the story.
The jollier side follows, tho delightful story of
Santa Claus and his wonderful reindeer, or which
the children never tire.
Preparati,m,s for Chriltma.s begio sooo after
Tbanlughing, and for a few weeks we all become
helpers In Santa Claus's work shop. We buy and
trim our own tree, decorate our room with CVCI"·
and holly, und work every day o n gilts for
the home people, for whom we are planning lhla
grcates" even~ of the year, our Chrlsttpas party .
To decorate our tree we string pop corn and
cranberries, straws and rings or gold pa per. \Ve
rnako gold and silver chains, baskets, a nd tiny
lanterns of all colora. Our gifU are simple, s uch
as can ~ eaMir made by lhe.cl•lldren~w~ take
tlmo to prepare lflfts for the sick child who cann~>t
c01n0 to Klnderg;rten and v.·ork wllh us. A acrap

the children. The day before our oelebra&lon we
trim the tree. Thl• I• a grea~ occa•lon. Every
