Dear Children:-This last week I
have; had occasion to visit a dog
hospital in Atlanta, and I wished
that some Of you might have been
with me. It was an interesting
sight.
Some of the dogs We're very i'll,
others had minor troubles, quite a
few, I am sorry to say, were there
because some careless motorist had
injured them.
The dogs are kept in good sized
crates, clean excelsior on the floor,
and nice clean pan of water where
they can easily get to it.. There is
a grating made of iron rods in front
of the cage, this slides up and down.
The doctors are very kind and gentle
to the animals left in their care.
I didn't know whether many of
you had ever visited one of these
humane places, and thought you
might be interested in the way they
were run,

Dear Folks:-I am wondering if
any of you ever make brown bread,
and if so, if you have had the trouble
that have had in cutting it. Mine
broke all to pieces until I found the
way to cut it that I am going to tell
you about. Take a stout, but not
large, piece of smooth Irvine. Put
this around your bread at the point
you wish it cut. draw the ends from
each direction, and as it pulls to.
gether it will cut as smoothly as
you please. You can then cut another
slice. IF you use the tall cans to
cook your bread in, when you have
sliced from the top down, you can
then pull your Irvine straight through
the middle and each slice will be cut
nicely in half. Cordially,

There are thirty-eight students
enrolled from the parochial schools

ing held at the grammar school.
Twenty-one of the pupils are from
the st. Stephens school, eight from
Holy Trinity, eight from st. Mary's
. and one from the Conyery Place
. Catholic school.
The students from the Catholic
institutions of the city are proving
to be among the brightest students
in school. Principal Joseph Walker
said today. A check-up of the hon
or roll of the school shows these
claims to be true and those not on
the honor roll are above the aver
age.
The fact that children from al.
schools of the city are taking adj
vantage of the opportunity offered
by the summer school, shows the de-
sire to obtain hat higher education
that is so necessary in obtaining a
place in the world today. The schol-
ars from the parochial schools are
conscientious workers and always
strive to keep ahead of their class
mates, it is shown. Nearly all of
the scholars at the school will either
skip a grade in the fall or else are
working to make up a deficiency in
their class work.
Principal Walker declares he Is
proud of the work done by the par
ochial schools and their knowledge
of the work they are called upon
to do. In speaking of their work
!, Mr.. Walker said:
