.BALK CONTRACT
FOR HIGHWAY
State Board Says Low Bid
der Must Get Work.

State tax board members Thurs
day baked a move of Sullivan Coun-
ty commissioners to award a con-
tract for six miles of road work i'll
that county to a contractor who bid
$4,916 more than the lowest bid.
The commissioners sometime ago
asked approval of a S178,966 bond
issue for the road work. The tax
board issue bids for the work pend
ing approval of the bond issue.
The bridges and Allen Company,
GreencaStle, submitted a low bid Of
$751; $40 and John Shepherd of
Terre Haute the second low bid of
$156,556.
The commissioners sought tax
board approval to awarding the
contract to Shepherd.
Ell Daley, county commissioner;
Norval Harris, county commission
er; Norval Harris, county attorney.
and Baxter Plew, deputy sheriff
appeared before the board today to
urge the board permit the contract
be given Shepherd, on the plea that
his is the more reliable concern and
previously has done good work for
the county.
Friendship must have nothing to
do with letting of the contract,
John J. Brown, tax board chairman,
told the DELEGATION.

to the pupils. Also, things that are
meant to be play are bound up with
lessons-a plan which makes all
seem like play.
Noticing that we were a little
weary after composition, Miss Rahe
went briskly up front and said.
How many would like to ride
with Indy this morning."
Previously she had told us that
our seats were airplanes and when
we didn't sit up straight we were in
danger of falling out.
Take Trip in Air
Not wanting to fall out" we sat
up and showed decorous eagernesS
to take the ride. The flight proved
to be the writing lesson. The
mOnotOnous practice ovalS became
thrilling loop the-loops and the up
and down movements we're flights
in the mountains and valleys.
Then we went from the airplane
ride to a baseball game.
We've been having a little
trouble with subtractions, our
teacher told us-as though we
didn't know it, 80 we are going to
find the trouble by playing a base
ball game"
Baseball Proves Interesting
She drew a diamond and put
figure nine inside with smaller
figures outside. Then she asked how
many players the outsiders needed
to make as many as the inside team.
After that, she cajoled us into
resting by playing that we were
dreaming we were dogs or birds.
Then we played a game called
Elephant" to practice number COM
binations. Not wanting to be the
elephant we played hard at learning
our numbers.
Later we went to the auditorium
for physical training and marched
and pranced like soldiers, swung our
arms like scouts and chased each
other at "cat and rat" There
seemed to be no end Of games in
Golden Rule Village.
Play Scale for Tennis
After lunch we played our
music lesson with a game of tennis
using such balls and rackets as do,
re, me, ia, sol, la, tie, do.
Then while we slept and dreamed
again, Miss Rahe passed out draw
ing paper She had us gather up
front while she cut fower-pot pat
terms and showed us how to paint
them two colors. We went to our
seats and played the last game Of
the day with water colors.
When the gong sounded outside
we began the task of getting ready
for home We put on our coats and
hats and marched out like reluctant
toys from a playhouse.

The life of third grader in
Golden Rule Village, or the third
grade room of the Calvin Kendall
School No. 62, Tenth and Wallace
SITS, proved to be a golden" round
of playing games.
With Miss F'rieda Rahe, the
teacher, we played at everything in
GLIDING reading, numbers, songs,
exercises, drawing and coloring.
The room itself was like an in
teresting corner in a child's museum
with it's brightly colored paper
circus animals, flowers, birds, and
nursery characters. The black
board was decorated with stencil
designs and verses written in
colored chalk. ....
Papers Are Corrected
Our first lesson after opening eX-
ercises was correction of compost
ton papers written the day before.
Here was the first indication that
school days we're becoming real and
earnest. Miss Rahe returned the
papers with the mistakes neatly
marked in ink-an indication that
we were big enough to see our
errors.
This recalled disappointing days
when the teacher merely passed out
the papers with slight very good"
or quite poor" without a single
mark from that rare variety of
hlue and red pencil only a teacher
was allowed to use.
Looking over Melvin Miller's
shoulder ca large offense ten years
ago. I read how Northumberland
third grader-had managed to hang
three sentences together without an
"and" as the teacher had suggested
in her correction.
Discipline Small Factor
Discipline seemed reduced to
minimum in Miss Rahe's room. The
same is true in other city school
rooms, largely because lessons are
presented in the form of games or
puzzles and are illustrated with in
cidents from modern life familiar
