There of NeighbOrhood Interest

operation evident in the town, the
members of the Century Club offered
their room for the meeting of the
Clayton r. "A. a., November 18th.

as the school Accommodations are
quite inadequate for the programs
put on and for the crowd which at
tends. Children Of the third and
fourth grades, under the direction of
Mrs. Smith, appeared in patriotic
numbers suggestive of their recent OBJ
servance of Armistice Day. There
was creditable exhibition of sewing
and art work. The State Topic for
1928-29-"The Progressive School"
was most suitably introduced by Miss
Marguerite H. Burnett, Director Of
the State Bureau Of Adult Educa-
tion. Her presentation of the chang
es which have taken place in modern
life and the corresponding changes
which should be taking place in our
schools led to the possibility Of es-
tabhshing a Child Study group in

class. The number is not limited.
