EASTERN STAR BRINGS
XMAS CHEER TO
ESKIMO CHILDREN
The spirit of kindness and good
cheer associated with the white man's
Christmas was made manifest to the
Eskimo children of Nome at the Bu
reau of Education school yesterday
morning, wlhen they were visited by
old Santa Claus and received each a
present of candy, nuts, fruits and other
childish delights provided by Nome
Chapiter. Order of the Eastern Star.
The entertainment was attended by
about 120 native lads and lasses, com
prising about all the Eskimo little
folks here, and a good sized number
of whites. The school room was nice
ly decorated for the occasion, with n
real Christmas tree as one of the fea
trues. A short program of songs by
the pupils of the school preceded the
distribution of gifts and gave most of
the visiting whites a pleasant surprise.
The little brown folks first sang "Holy
Night” with a sweetness and charm
well worth listening to and followed
it with a ringing Christmas carol:
“The Song of the Bells." The con
eluding number was “America" and
was delivered with the fervor of real
patriotic feeling. Supenint^ndent
Dyfed Evans provided the org .n ac
compllshments. Following the ring
ing, Santa Claus made a surprise ap
pearance and greatly delighted the Es
kimo tots, mnny of whom bad seen
him only in picture book'. After
greeting iht children S. m i Claus
commenced distributing the gifts hung
on the Christmas tree, as<istea by
Ii dies of the Eastern Star arid Mr.
Ralph Lenten. Every chill present
received a gift. At the conclusion of
this event, a number of n.»t!vc boys
entertained with native dances.
The children then arose in a body
and unitedly extended t-he'r thanks to
the representatives of the Eastern
Htar, Meadames J. J. Keenan and
Harvey Grant and ended with a tumult
bf cheers and hand clapping. The
patives appeared greatly delighted and
frill doubtless remember the enter
tainment for years to come.
The ladies of the Eastern Btar are
Intitled to the warmest praise for
fhelr thoughtfudness and labors In
showing the little one’s the spirit and
meaning Of Christmas. Supt. Evans
has also requested us to extend to the
Eastern Star the sincere thanks of
