NEW CASTLE. Del. Nov. 22.--Per-
sons who visit No. ] School building
and stop into Miss Carrie Downie's
room are quickly convinced of the
WORK being done by that teacher along
the lines of community civics and city
beautiful. The school room presents
very neat appearance. When an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter visited
the school the other day he was sur
prised at the number and character Of
pennants in the school. The pennants
represent Silence, Obedience, Neat
ness, Industry, Regularity, Accuracy,
Punctuality, Self Control, Good Gov
ernment and Kindness.
In answer to a question the teacher
said the first seven were the cardinal
virtues and the others are beautiful
and inspiring companions. Boys from
this room can be seen going along the
streets or on the campus picking up
pieces OF paper to be deposited in the
nearest receptacle A nail in tile end
Of piece of stick is used for this
work instead of the hand. No crayon
marks are even seen on walls or
fences and the example given by the
eighth grade pupils is having its eff
iect on the children of the school in
general
The fact that the eighth grade won
the pennant this month for having the
most parents and friends at the meet
ings Of the Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton is expected to make other pupils
induce their parents to attend the
meetings At the present time con-
siderable criticism is heard regarding
the planting of trees in the school
green. The boys must have some
place to play football and baseball and
the planting Of additional trees will
be a great interference.
