School Children Write
To Pupils in London

solves itself into a description Of J err
respective cities, the buildings. people,
customs amusementS, and various
other things which appeal most readily
TO "A school child.
Superintendent Stuart a few days ago
received a bundle of letters from Yer
mont written to certain grade pupils.
Tor the purpose Of opening correspond D..
ence Some OF them were most enter

selects good subjects and talks about
them freely and entertainingiy.
While much is TO be expected from
correspOndence between American chit
dren. replies 20 the letters which have
rec entity been sent to London children
will doubtless prove much more inter
csting. The difference in English Gus
toms the manner Of expression. an /
the queer use of many words on the
part of English people will probably

cause for wonder in American manner

whole plan promises q means Of eduCa-
tiOT of a sort that could never be gain
ed in any other way
Certain schools in each division were
selected and their pupils are given the
privilege of submitting letters TO be
/ sent to England. The general average OF
each school was from 10 TO II letters,
SC the foreign mails are bit heavier
at This season than was anticipated
some months ago II is believed that
the English and American pupils will
both pTOnt materially by the cor
rcsgondence and this may lead IN time

even other countries.

Mail bags on outgoing steamships to
England during the past few days have
carried patches Of what promise TO
prove most interesting letters to the
school children of London. Pupils OF
cores Ondence with their foreign stu
dent friends and many good results are
anticipated from this newly-esta blishcd
custom.
For many months a system of CORE
spOndence between children of different
American cities has been maintained
and the results We're so gratifying thai
the plan has been adopted by MUTUAL
consent Of the Washington Board OF
Education and that of London. Letters
will hereafter be exchanged between
school children Of the American and the
English capitals.
Much interest has been manifested IN
the growth Of the plan and its advau-
tages The letters are not made per
sonai in the beginning, but are written.
for instance, from pupil in the eighth
grade in Washington to one in cor
done with a view TO opening "A cor

Inncement in their studies. The first
writer signs his OF her name and address
and when the answer comes II does not
pass through the hands Of the school
teacher but goes directly TO the name
and number given in the nrst letter.
Then the ice IS broken and an instruc-
tive and friendly series OF letters follow
The children, having no real personal
acquaintance, are compelled 70 write
OF things which will interest the other
party in the correspondence. This re-

II is not only in the spring that the

Among the most attractive beds IN

White House Lawns.

Interest always centers in the lawns
OF the White House. Many Of the trees
are lett out during the entire year and

that Mrs Roosevelt is again DESTROYS OF
