The kindergarten children are very
sociable. They had a party Monday.
Ii was Robert WhitmeT's fifth birth
day. They had pop corn and stick
candy.
The undergraduates are also much
interested in plants and flowers. The
children have brought twigs from
fruit trees which they put in water.
We hope they will soon blossom. They
have some English daisies which are
blooming and tulip that is just
pushing it's way out of the dark.
The first grade children have some
Chinese lilies. They have also added
an old grandfather clock to their col
lection of house furnishings.

midday meal. The calendar in that
room is also Dutch. A little Dutch
boy and girl are standing with their

sea where you can get a peep at
some sail boats in the distane. There
is a Dutch windmill somewhere in
the scenery and all around are Dutch
tulips.
In the third grade they not only
mark what kind of a day it is. but
how the wind blows. If it is sunny
they make a jolly old sun. or if it is
cloudy they make a smear of blue,

small red arrow pointing that way.
