Always a popular story. its presentation under their direction was very attractive and was received with pleasure.
 The little first grade children, who won applause on the stage, merited 1t equally as much in their daily work. There were sonie 40 of them in Miss Lawless' care, and their progress during the year was marked. Beside the prescribed course of reading, they completed two supplement tary readers, and they gained considera- ble skill in writing-a task that amounts to an achievement in first grade. Their sand table, made by the manual training class, was at one time converted into a model farm, and the results of many lessons were shown there. With their construction paper they made the farm house and the barn, and in the fields they planted seed of beans and corn and other vegetables, and after some weeks of work they had a completed farm, with growing plants. In doing this they learned measurements and much about proper arrangement of home and farm, as basis of advanced study that comes later in the course they have just started.
 From the beginning to the end of the course. including the class graduating from high school good work has been done and another year added to those that have gone before to place the school well in the front.
