THIS actually HAPPENED.

The following actually happened in
Marietta Sunday School:
1t was not long after Easter.
There was much talk about show
ing loyalty.to Uncle Sam by planting
a garden.
The Sunday School teacher, know

know the children had caught the
spirit from the adults, used this as
a point of contact in teaching the
lesson of the Garden of Eden.
"How many of you have planted
a little garden all your very own"
The hands of half a dozen little
patriots were thrust into the air, and

They were silent.

VALUE OF KINDERGARTENS.

Probably no one factor in educa-
ton during the last quarter of a
century has been SO potent in the
advancement of teaching and the
training of children, as the kinder
garten. 1t is safe to assume that
every grade of the school has shared
in the new life. Courses of study
from the primary school to the Uni
versity have been recast under the
kindergarten influence until the
whole purpose of public-school edu-
cation today is to fit the child to play
his part in the various institutions
of social activity.

IMPORTANT MEETING
OF THE CIVIC LEAGUE

The Civic League had an unusually
interesting meeting Monday. There
was large attendance, and the
reports from the various committees
were very gratifying.
Mrs. Horace Field, who is chair
man of the committee on the work
being done on the school grounds of
the city, reported that the work is
well under way. Mr.. Mosher has
charge and the rocky hillside at the
Waterman Street School has been
filled in and terraced. This is to be
sodded with Bermuda, and the
grounds are to be well drained. Flow
ers are to be put out Immediately,
and in the fall when the children re-
turn from their vacation at the
sound of the old school bell, instead
of looking out upon rocks and red
clay, they will behold one of the pref
test school grounds in the state.
Plato, Aristotle, Cicero and all
of those, old philosophers spoke of the
importance of a beautiful and en-
nobling environment for the child
and it is this thought that has
prompted the League and the Board
of Education to undertake this work.
They are dividing the expense equal
ly, and as soon as the work on the
Waterman Street School is complete,
they will begin similar work on the
Haynes Street School
Mrs Graham gave a report of the
progress of the Red Cross work, and
new plans were presented and dis
cussed, which will appear elsewhere
in this paper.
A letter from the Boy Scouts, ask
ing for the cooperation of the League
was read; and the ladies were un-
animous in their praise of these boys,
and in their willingness to give what
assistance they could.
Miss Allene Fields asked for the
cooperation of the League in beau
tifying and repairing the old Acade-
my, which is to be used this fall for
the joint purpose of a gymnasium for
the High School and for Miss AL
lene's kindergarten. BY a unani-
nous vote, $500 was given to begin
the work of putting out flowers, and
Miss Fields was made chairman of a
committee to find out the cost of
having the windows and water put
in. She will also be in charge of
an entertainment to be given soon
by the High School girls, under the
auspices of the League, for the pur-
pose of raising money to be used in
the repair of the Academy.
The Parent-Teachers Association
gave the High School the equipment
for their basketball court, this year;
and the pleasure and enthusiasm with
which they tackled teams from At
lanta and surrounding towns, should
be an incentive to every one to edo
his bit" toward making the Gymna-
SUM an attractive place.
The League is going to do it's part
as it always does.
