Christmas play Monday afternoon at

ested spectators and the program ran

and the way in which they were train
ed was a remarkable feature of the
play. This training is due to the un
tiring efforts of Mrs. J. J. Pierce, who
has gone to the home every Tuesday af
and trained the children.
The printed programs bore tne fol
lowing headlines: "To you who havs
done so much for us, with grateful
