THANKSGIVING DAY is one of
the events which are casting
their shadows ahead in the
schools these days. and from
the viewpoint of the small boy
and small girl it is assuming large proper
tions. As a matter of fact, many of the
rooms where the younger children are
taught have had the appearance of the
season for u month or two, inasmuch as
this holiday is ever linked to the idea of
harvest.
Products of immune able plants. fall
flowers. seeds and samples of things pro-
duced in the gardens of the pupils have
been put on exhibition in many of the
classrooms. OF course. now as the day
draws near lessons are beginning to touch
on the spirit of the time. too.
