Finds Able Assistant.

Soon after Miss Farley went to the
Grover Cleveland School she found an able
assistant in the neighborhood in young
teacher then employed in the Curtis
School. Miss Cecil B. Norton voluntarily
assisted Miss Farley in many of the little
entertainments and other innovations she
was making in the school. She made her
self SO generally useful to the principal
that Miss Farley requested that she be
transferred to Grover Cleveland School
with view to making the dramatic work
particular feature. Miss Norton had
prepared for this line of work at the
Normal School, under Miss Alberta Walk
er. She has been so successful that the
Grover Cleveland now holds the reputa-
ton of leading the dramatic work in
the District graded schools and several of
the high school teachers have stated that
the work is superior to that done in the
high schools.
Miss Norton, Miss Farley and Mrs.
Howard Deall organized civic clubs for
the boys and girls of the neghborhood,
and for the last two years Miss Norton
has been director of the industrial recrea-
ton and civic center. This year she has
undertaken a new activity in the training
of a slee club. in which Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes Of the board of education is par
ticularly interested. Miss Norton teaches
folk dancing in the school, and has a
literary and musical entertainment by
the pupils every Friday evening, to which
the parents and all residents of the
neighborhood are welcomed.

MAKES GOOD AUCTIONEER.
Tax Collector Prince Disposes of
Seized PROPERTY.

Ben L. Prince. the Districts new tax
collector, may never have had experience
as an auctioneer, but he evidently has
observed closely some of the requirements
of that business. In his initial attempt
today to dispose of property seized in
settlement of unpaid personal taxes. Mr..
Prince SO convincingly presented the
merits of the articles offered that he had
no trouble obtaining bids. The property
sold consisted of gloves. goggles and
other motor appurtenances which had
been seized from an auto supply house
to make good tax bill amounting to $50
Seizures will be made in the case of

today. Personal taxes have been due
since June 1, and the collector intends
to wage an active campaign against de-
linouents from now on.

Fine Playground Obtained.

Senator Gallinger introduced a special
bill for the condemnation of six houses
and the purchase of ten lots. After
much work by Miss Farley this bill
went through Congress and a fine play
ground was made. But Miss Farley en-
joyed this Improvement but one year.
Three years ago she was transferred 10
Grover Cleveland School.
Her great ambition is to see indus
trial work combined in the schools
with book studies in the lower grades.
so that when boys or girls are forced
to leave school at the end of the
eighth grade they will be fitted to do
some useful work. She believes that
to attain the best results in school
the hands must be educated as we'll as
the brain. She is ambitious to build
real social center for the neighbor-
hood. where the school building will be
open at all times for the use. educa-
tion and recreation of the people of the
neighborhood. She says this should be
the real object of every school build
ing. In this project she has the SYM
pathy, encouragement and support of

a prominent part in the George Washing
ton dramatics. When she was an in
structor in the Industrial Home School
she achieved marked success with a
Greek festival of which she had charge.
The rhythm dances in which she per-
sonally trained the children were un-
usually good. She teaches folk dancing
at the Thompson School, and last
spring produced little play which she
had written herself entitled Mother
Hubbard'S Cupboard" She took the part
of Pandora" in the film for the San
Francisco exposition.

the Washington schools She originated
such work when a teacher in the country
school at Congress Heiahts. long before
it was ever taken up in the public
schools. interesting the children in sewing
and gardening. as she believed such

Force School she introduced another in
novation in public school work which has
since been adopted by most of the
schools-sketch!ng from life. She was
principal of the Phelps School for nlne
years and while there was successful
in doing away with horrible alley con-
dition. There was no tit play place Tor
the pupils. and there was an lnSanltary
