From the first day of the
month of Adar, much time has
been devoted in all classes to the
study of Purim and to its cus-
toms and ceremonies. In the high-
e• classes the Megilah was studied
in the original. In the elementary
grades, the story of Esther was
related and dramatized. Purim is
one of the festivals which lends
itself to pagentry and dramatiza-
tion, and the schools made every
effort to connect the children with
this day of festivity and merry-
making.
