ers and pupils in this matter.

successful gatherings are Jessie Ser
geant and Ruby Kspner Of the town
of Hubbard; Gladys Kaiser, Viva
Bollman, Rose Klopfenstein and De-
Colburn, Veva Nichols, Martha Fin
negan and Vernia Schweiger, of

tin ard Rose L. Sybers of Strick-
land; Laura L. Clark and Bessie M.

all times, except when it is neces-
sary to protect the children from
direct sunlight Shades should be
made Of either light buff canvas Of
light weight, or of white sheeting,
properly fastened to the rollers A
cord should be attached to the mid
die of the slat at the lower end Of
the shade to enable the teacher to
run the shade up, and to adjust it
as needed.

to be in unsanitary, and improper
condition. Screens to certain ones
