teacher, and the sixth grade is her
home room. It was prettily decorat-
eli with art work on the walls. It
was the hour of the drawing lesson
and Miss Wheatley was drilling the
youngsters in the primary colors and
their combinations; how tints and
shades are made, how colors harmon
ize and clash; how yellow with pur-
pie, red with green or orange with
blue when mixed will each give the
same neutral gray color, and how
these combinations of colors always

Miss Johnnie Davis was drilling
her youngsters of the fifth grade III
erai arithmetic when the group of
visitors stopped in for moment The
latter remarked AMONG themselves
how teaching methods had changed

A Geography Lesson.
Miss Annie Walker was in the
midst of a geography lesson in the
fourth grade and the little fellows
seemed to have fine understanding
Of the fundamentals of the study and
talked glibly of rivers and clouds, of
evaporation of moisture and how it

Miss Annie Mclaughlin was train
ing the primary pupils to read, and
demonstrated a different method
than the visitors had seen before.

who proved apt readers of script, al
though not yet thoroughly familiar
