ITEMS OF INTEREST
TO THE CITY SCHOOLS

The regular meeting of the teach
ers OF schools A and 10 was held
Tuesday afternoon. At this meeting
Miss Hallahan, a teacher in the first
grade, described a Mother Goose
project that she will soon present to
her class. The method of approach
the photography, the aims and eX-
pected results were outlined by Miss
Hallahan and then discussed by
those present. At the next meeting
the teachers will see. Miss Hallahan
introduce the project to her pupils
and at a still later date will proba-
bly, meet to discuss finished project
and to see what aims outlined in the
beginning were realized and what
new ones added.
This method of having demonstra-
ton lessons presented by one of the
teachers at their monthly meetings
and of then discussing the work,
has proved very interesting and
beneficial to the faculty of schools
4 and 10.
Miss Stacks class, Room ., leads
all others in attendance for the
month of October with a record of
97.14 per cent.
The response to the Red Cross
call for juniors has been met prompt
ly by schools 4 and 10, and they
both report 100 per cent enrolment.
This means that every class in both
schools, including the kindergarten
have Joined the Junior Red Cross.
100 per cent certificates will be pre-
scented to the schools.
School No. 5
School number five donated $13.5S
to the Junior Red Cross. Rooms Is
and 6 made the two largest contri-
buttons. Room Is collected $3.50
and Room 6 s1.I4.
Ninety-four pupils of school 5 en-
rolled at the Public Library this
year. This is a fine showing, con-
sidering that No. s school is such
a distance from the library. The
pupils are also very much inter-
ested in the "Story Hour held at
the library and Is boys and girls of
the third grade attended last Thurs
day.
School No. 10
Room 10 of No. 10 school again
won the attendance banner last
week in the 6-B thus making a rec
ord of having it seven weeks
straight.
Basketry has been resumed in
StdueS 4-B and "A. Now that
there is nor than one class working
at 1t, a keener interest is shown in
seeing which class can turn out the
best made baskets. The materials
used are raffia and grasses which the
boys themselves brought from the
meadows right in our own vicinity.
The spirit of Halloween certain
ly lowered over school 10, judging
by the parties held in the several
rooms. The atmosphere was quite
hilarious when the children who
"ducked" for apples were fortunate
enough to get one and when others
managed to pin the donkey's tail
where 1t belonged.

Edward elmer. Morris Gerzoff by
an effo- application also ad-
vanced from section c to the honor

We wish to state that not all phi
lanthropist are extremely wealthy
or without our circles. One of the
teachers in the Grammar school who
wishes to remain anonymous, has
l been distributing milk to all of her
class at given intervals of the day.
She has been doing this naturally
of her W accord and paying for it
from her own salary, for her class
contains some seemingly anaemic
pupils. The teachers throughout
the city are constantly doing social
service York of like nature I'M
known to the town in general-this
in connection with the regular du-
ties of teaching. We should like to
print the mn of such teachers,
but do not do so as the teachers
themselves do not wish it.
