rich. the Bell school. tells me that they

she was surprised herself how little
work they make and how much they
all enjoy them. She says that they
have no trouble i'll getting all the neces-
Sary supplies in the way Of provisions
and the utensils were furnished by the
school board.
Miss Virginia Tate was in Saturday
and told me that they arc having not
lunches and she was also very much
SURPRISED at the small amount of trOu-
bic that it made for any one person.
They bought their necessary equipment
with the money from social and they
do their cooking on the top OF the big
heater The children are all interest
ed in it and even those who do not bring
their dinners are willing to supply part
Of the vegetables needed. They all do
their part by supplying the material
which they have the most of ut home.
Miss Tate says that in this way they
always have plenty and they all enjoy
if and are only sorry that they did not
begin sooner.
