Pupils as Puritans

1t was after the first mad rush around
the world for a record had passed into
history. and the curator strolled around
from room to room. with the children
still at his heels. They rested for a
few moments in the Puritan room. This
first day was one OF extreme liberty.
1t could surely never happen againl
One little girl was allowed to sit at
the old spinning wheel for a few mo-
ments; another stood at the loom. A
boy was allowed to hold the big flint
lock gun that hangs over the fireplace.
He squinted down the barrel
Even this beats the old battleax,"
said he.
The Hands on" signs were hung up
soon as the children had passed.
Verify, It could never happen again.
IT wish I had asked them to let mo
climb up on that funny colonial bed"
said one little girl Maybe they would
have let me-"
But the children were rather chary
about asking too many favors all at
cnce. little boy climbed up to take
a seat In one OF the Spanish throne
chairs. but climbed down very quickly.
It was shaby and uncomfortable, very
much like the Spanish throne OF today,

frisky as the children. Even the check
boy in his little window on the right
forgot his duties, and had to race after
some real tourists, who were sailing
down the hall with a camera and a
bag.
Say, you have to check your bag
gage here" he said, his mind still on
themselves. yielded up their belongings
without murmur.
It was the finest game they had ever
played, the children said, after 1t was
all over. and they. had proved to the
satisfaction of all concerned that
Puck's record for putting a girdle
round about the earth In 40 minutes
might be broken with little effort.
Barron came back laughing and rub
bing his hands.
We'll, 1 took them through in 40
minutes" he said, but I won't do 1t
again. After this we'll leave Puck out
of the count, and take a leisurely
with some degree of ease. with few
rests In between"
The idea of having daily attendance
of school children at the park museum
originated with Barron himself, who
submitted his plan as suggestion to
Alfred Roncovieri, superintendent of
the public schools.
'I believe" said Mr.. Barron. that
many of our leading citizens are ig-
norant Of the scope Of this museum. It
compares favorably with any museum
of It's class in tho United States, and Is
superior to many abroad. It's scientific,
art. antiquity and natural history de-
partments are exhaustive, and It's
Roman. Grecian, Egyptian ana oriental
collections are very complete be-
lieve that every object here Is of edu-
cational advantage to the pupils of the
public schools of this city, and. a. the
city's natural heirs, the children should
surely como int their own. Our coll
lection OF armor. dating back to the
stone age, is the most complste In the

More Than Seven Wonders

But the children, all unconscious or
the great responsibility Mr.. Barron was
placing on their slender shoulders.
skipped along the halls and snapped
their fingers in the face OF the good
King Saul. They felt quite chummy
with him by the time they had met
him face to face seven times. So they
skipped along clear out OF the door
way. through the little iron gates and
down the steps They were feeling
very merry. though each brow was
little puckered with trying to remen-
Der the seven greatest wonders they
had seen on their trip around the
world
Said one little girl making a wry
face:
We've got to write a composition
about those seven wonders when we
get back
We'll. what were thsyr' I asked
''Oh dear mer' And she puckered
her brow still more. II can't tell now
there were so many. I think the
-eacher must have meant II instead
of just ~
So the gala day was over and the
children were gone. But that was
only the first day-the initiation, as 1t
were. Every day since. with the ex-
ception Of Saturday and Sunday, the
school children have attended after
noon session at the Park museum, and
the good work will go on until May 20.
when the schools close.
Next term. according to Mr.. Barron's
plan. the work will be taken up on
still broader scale.
we want to reach the children
across the bay" he said. and In the
surrounding counties"
SO it may come to pass in time that
the Park museum-far outstripping its
present scOpe-may become the Mecca
for little children from all over the
state. And for the grownups as well.
1t Is hoped.
THE things near at hand must al
ways sue for appreciation" Mr.. Bar
ron continued. I'VE have so much to
marvel at In our own state that we end
by marveling at nothing. Abroad the
wonders are all put on pedestals and
tabulated. In California we keep our
wonders on level ground and scarcely
allude to them at ALL"
But the wonders OF California are
not neglected in the Park museum.
Three large rooms. or more. and a hall
are devoted to California exhibits and
Mr.. Barron has gone to great pains in
explaining them to the children.
He smiled when I reminded him
You will say now that I am trying
to make boosters OF the children" he
said. He smiled even more broadly.
We'll. maybe I am he admitted.
A gong sounded IN thu hall Four

noeman invited all struggling guests to
take their departure
