SUMMER IN TENEMENTS
4 Plea for the Tenement Children To Whom Flowers Blooming In De- serted Gardens Would Bring
 World of Happiness.

A summer school under the auspices of the Paul Hayne School Improvement association was opened Monday morn ing in the basement rooms of the Paul Hayne school. These rooms have re- gently been fitted up for this work by the various School Improvement asso- citations of the city, and the summer school Is but the beginning of broader work to be undertaken in the future.
 A kindergarten class for the small children, a sewing class for girls, boys club, mothers club, and other features of settlement work will be undertaken during the summer months.
 While this work is primarily for the street children, all children in the neighborhood within the age limit will be enrolled.
 It is the earnest wish of the ladies in charge to make the rooms as at tractive as possible, and the Birming ham public is appealed to for help in this work.
 During the summer months, when the more fortunate families are at seaside or mountain resorts, their gardens at home are wasting their blossoms un- seen. Down in the dusty streets of the tenement district there are crowds and crowds of children to whom a flower is the greatest treat.
 The basement rooms of the Paul Hayne schoo are cool and delightful in contrast with the heated streets, and flowers and potted plants would con vert them into bowers for the little children.
 Miss May Hall, a graduate of the Birmingham Kindergarten Training school is in charge of the work. Two members of the training class are as- sisting her. Several first-grade teach CTS have volunteered their assistance and 1t is believed that quite a num- Der of families will be reached through this work.
 The rooms are opened to visitors from to 12 o'clock each morning. Any one desiring to contribute to the work can communicate with Miss Hall over the Bell phone No. 3311.
