interest In civic beauty by urging the
children to decorate the school build
ing. The pupils responded heartily. In
the thirteen years that Miss Greene
has been principal of the Irving school
the children have earned and spent
$500 on improvements. Most of this
amount was earned at entertainments
at which an admission of 10 cents was
charged. The entertainments are we'll
attended because of the general inter-
est in the school,
The children have bought four
pianos, 1S5 pictures. twenty pieces Of
statuary and 100 volumes were added
to the regular school library; S65 was
spent for shrubbery for the yard and a
gymnasium was equipped recently at
cost of $500. When Miss Annie
Bre snahan, teacher in the seventh
grade and first assistant to Miss
Greene, died in July, 1907, 800 of the
pupils, parents and teachers contrib
uteu 10 cents each and bought a bronze
tablet that was erected to her memory
in one of the halls of the school. Miss
Bresnahan had been a teacher in the
Irving school fourteen years.
Miss Greene endeayors to make the
children begin to feel the responsible
ties of manhood and womanhood be-
fore they are graduated from the
school. The children of the higher
grades are not required to march out
of the rooms in military fashion, but
are permitted to walk out in a body
as men and women come from u
church, theater or other public build
ing.

the names of the teachers. Subjects of
general interest to the children and
the school were discussed. AS a re-
suit of these meetings the meetings of
the mothers have been held when they
were needed. When Miss Greene wishes
to call a meeting she has each pupil
write an invitation to his mother. Miss
Greene furnishes the form of the in
vitation; the children do the rest.
Il can issue a call for a meeting al
most any day." Miss Greene said land
from 200 to 300 mothers will come to
the building. The large attendance is
due to a general neighborhood interest
in the school.
"At one meeting we considered the
adVisability of having the children go
home at noon for hot lunches. The
teachers and the mothers agreed that
it would be best for the children to
have the exercise of walking home and
have the hot dinner rather than bring
their lunches and spend the noon hour
in a damp basement Out of an at
tendance of about $50 only about half
a dozen children now bring their
lunches regularly.
"Other practical questions have been
discussed at the mothers meetings,
such as the number of nights a week
the pupils should be permitted to at
tend amusements; the amount of as
sistance parents should give children in
the preparation of their lessons and
the general behavior of pupils at home
at school and on the streets.
LAS a result of these meetings there
is sympathy and cooperation between
the school and the homes in the neigh
borhood. When a child knows that his
teacher is acquainted with his mother
he has higher regard for the teacher.
And teacher takes greater interest in
a pupil for having known his mother.
So it works both ways

m HERE is a school in Kansas City
where lessons in good citizenship
are taught. Since the opening of
the new amusement center at ST. John
and Holly street here, it has seemed
that many of the ideas which are used
in that Kansas City school might be
put to use in the work which Mr. Mills
has in charge in this new building.
Here is the plan which Miss Gertrude
Greene followed in her Kansas City
school and many of the ideas will un-
doubtedly prove of interest and value
to teachers and educators throughout
this part of the country:
The teachers began, of course, with
efforts to interest the pupils and their
parents in the school. Miss Gertrude
Greene has been principal of the Irv-
tIig school thirteen years. Seven years
ego she began holding monthly moth
ers meetings at the school building.
The teachers met the mothers and the
instructors learned the names of their
pupils parents and the mothers learned

Rampant is without doubt the best
townsite on the Yukon. On arriving
there. through conversation learned
that an old friend of mine was about
thirty miles out over the hills from
there; so l made up pack, and in this
pack l took blankets, tarpaulln, a
change of clothing all round, and about
forty pounds of food and also cooking
utensils. On asking some of the miners
where the trail was that led to my
friends cabin, they pointed it out to-
me, but told me that 1 had by far too

dren." Miss Greene said, "when I made
the change from the usual plan of
having the children march III double
file, were for them not to jostle. Just
act like men and women, | said to
them. The experiment appears to be
a success. The children are not noisy
nor disorderly. and they are learning
how to behave in a crowd. This syS-
tenn | believe, is a greater safeguard
against panics than the plan of hay
ing the pupils march out in order. If
the individuals of Gre wd are orderly
no panic will occur"
The older pupils have recess at a
different time than the smaller chill
dren and they have no signal to an
nounce the close of recess. They have
the entire responsibility of being in
their seats at the proper time.
The puoils of the Irving school have
been taught to operate with the
teachers and the janitor in keeping the
school building, the school yard and
the public sidewalk around the school
grounds III order. Two of the older
boys are appointed by Miss Greene to
act as yard Inspections title that
pleases the boys. The present yard
inspectors are George hobdcll and
Luther Fillinger.
1t is the duty of the yard inspectors
to make the rounds of the school build
ing, school yard and sidewalks twice
a day. They pick up all paper and
rubbish and report any uncleaniy con-
ditions. 1t is strictly against the rules
for the pupils TO dror paper in the
building or on the school yard or the
sidewalk near the school.
