Two Of the most interesting and
practically instructive features Of the
two days program were model classes
in reading, conducted by Miss Gosh
and Miss Brown The former brought
in her class of twelve small children
Friday morning and demonstrated the
ann and possibilities of dramat lzation
in the lower grades. The success of the
work was remarkable and more so in
Enht of the fact that only one of the
members of the class came from an
English speaking home. Miss Brown s
class was enc in seventh grade reading
and showed unusual spirit and ability.
Both teachers should be congratulated.
The teachers entered heartily into the
spirit Of the institute and expressed
themselves as having spent both an
enjoyable and profitable two days.
