DRAWING NOTES.
We found that almost every fourth
grade child has a soldier brother or
cousin for whom he can make a
picture frame This fact makes the
making of this problem vastly more
interesting.
The fifth grade children enjoyed
cutting down the size of the candy
boxes so they could be made with
9x12 inch paper instead Of 12x1S.
The sixth grade boys and girls are
ready to paste the designs on their
pads and pencil cases.

making of directories rather d. diff
ficult problem. Also that il took
more paper than they thought.

designs for their portfolios.
