A special program should be held at which students might present 

 some of the results of their work on this motive. At such, a 

 play might well be presented in which the various Piu^itan charac- 

 ters would enter. Or, the play might be allegorical and introduce 

 the Thanksgiving turkey, cranberry sauce, etc. There are all 

 manner of great possibilities here. 

 Christmas Motive. 



This should be the most emphasized of all the year's projects. 

 The legends of St. Nicholas, the stories of Christmases of other 

 lands, and the miracle legends about the birth of Jesus with the 

 other birth stories can be used. Such material can be supplemented 

 with the following: 



Clark — '' *Twas the night Before Christmas." 



Christmas Carols of all sorts (Longfellow — Christmas Bells 

 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, etc.) 



Field— The First Christmas Tree. (In Profitable Tales) 



Longfellow — The Arrow and the Song. (To illustrate the 

 meaning of the carol, At Christmas Time.)
