FORT HAYES, Kan.-If you
would successfully teach children,
find what they are most interested
in and use that as a medium
through which to hold their atten-
ton.
That's what Miss Lulu Mckee is
telling teachers at the Kansas State
Normal School. She is assistant pro-
fessor of education at the school
and is known throughout Kansas as
the woman who can touch with q
kind magic the hearts of little boys
who have hardened toward every
one else because no one else under
stood.
Taught Kindergarten
Miss Mckee used to be a kinder
garten teacher and that experience
gave her a firm belief that living
pets have more interest for the av-
erage child than any other thing.
This belief" says Miss Mckee,
came about through IA Christmas
story that 1 started to tell some
years ago-and never finished.
"Our exercises that day had pro-
crossed nicely and quietly. L was
