New that tho official programme for the uniform ppphlsi* celebration of Co lumbus Day boa been published, the question of the participation by this community in the national exercises be comes a live issue. It goes without saying that the people of this locality will not be backward in evidencing their patriotism by an appro priate celc celebration of tho memorable day, and a few suggestions as te the best method of executing this com mendable design may not be amine at this time. In the first place, it choroid bo borne in mind that it is intended that tho school children should la the principal partici pants in the exercises. The pupils are to be at their places in school at 9 o’clock as usual. It is desirable that business be entirely suspended so that the relatives of the pupils may also be present Printed programmes should be provided when possible, and the ex ercises will of course be subject to the limitations of the scholars, but every thing which may be done should tend to the central ideas of Columbus’ achievement and the remarkable prog ress of the country under the impetus of education. Appropriate patriotic deco rations ore uqczps&ry. and allegorical tableaux will ad<f greatly to the effect- irenese and enjoyment of tho exercises Music is also desirable. in the afternoon comae the citizens’ celebration, but, no in the morning ex ercises, the school children should take the moat pomtoent part Of coarse In the country List net* this wiU not b* ths •stated tha Ana win **11* and rotor sf tl westing sf the srita during the day, uf (he locality* usd qntoft ef M children any one wight deliver i the occasion, speeches wfll •riven, bat It must be borne tat wind that anything relating to Colmnbao will be more interesting than anything rise on such an occasion. -Tbs the od* sad the patriotic i be executed by the children without a hitch, and for this reason n great deni bf preliminary work will hare to hfi done by thorn. Upon the school teachers will devolve the greatest portion of this biboe. Each teacher should at once, if it has not al ready boon done, present the matter ot the celebration of Cotambuz Day to his pupils, and it should be Add bftfotta tho young people in such n manner that bach "will be anxious to contribute as much a*, possible to the succew of ttw affair.
