700 CHILDREN
HAVE EXHIBITS
AT HOBBY FAIR
Toys, Collections of All
Sorts Contributed by
Bell Pupils.

Hobbies are the year around hob
by of the pupils of the William A.
Bell School No. go.
Seven hundred Bell school chill
dren are showing their parents and
teachers that they can work outside
school as well as in by the inter
esting display Of toys, books and
nature study collections brought to
school this week for their annual
Hobby Fair Saturday afternoon and
night at the school.
Hundreds of things including
miniature radios, gardens, houses,
stages, animals, theaters, dolls and
scrap books will be on exhibit. All
represent the pet interests of the
children.
Some were interested in crochet
ing, dress and cover making, and
cooking. Even the smallest pupils
brought cakes, bread, cookies and
other pastries which they made
Clay modelling was found to be a
favorite pastime for them. All sorts
of doll and animal figures we're
brought. Others brought large COL
lections of butterflies and plants
found during their summer vaca-
ton.
The first Hobby Fair was held last
year. The children were so inter-
ested that Mrs. Mary S. Ray, prin-
cipal, has made it an annual event.
Judges not connected with the
school will inspect each article on
display and award blue ribbons to
those having the best work. The
school is divided into the upper and
the lower grades and the room of
each division having the most stu
dents winning ribbons will be
awarded a piece of pottery.

about them, though, because they
read them every day.
Miss BayneS has an interesting
way of teaching counting. She
passed out numbers at random up
to 100 and the pupils placed them
correctly in rows along the black
board. They seemed to enjoy do
ing this and made few mistakes.
Once down to business, L die
fairly well and Miss Baynes allowed
me to pass on to the IA under
Miss Anna McCune.
Let Me See Your Eyes"
The first thing learned was why
a polar bear wears a white fur coat.
Miss McCune was telling series of
stories about different kinds of
bears and correlated it by assign
ing research work in the library on
the life of the bear.
Miss McCune had an effective way
of asking "how many would like to
do" certain things. If we answered
by being suddenly and profoundly
interested in something else than
doing research on polar bears, she
said: LET me see your eyes"
once Donald Schooley across the
aisle leaned over and whispered:
ooh, boy! Like summer, isn't it?"
Detecting a reckless, spring fever
look in his blue eyes, began read
ing. But Mary Carsner interrupted
"I didn't wear anything but my
sweater today even"
Later she leaned over with her
book Ito my intense uneasiness)
and asked me what among" was.
I was proud to be able to tell her
that, even though fearing Miss
McCune would want to see my eyes
We Study Music
After reading, writing exercises
and numbers Miss McCune began
our music appreciation lesson. Music
appreciation in Indianapolis public
schools is a comparatively new
thing, but is a successful way of
teaching a taste for good music
along with the technicalitieS.
The janitor brought in victrola
with an old-fashioned horn. Miss
McCune played such pieces as
Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, y
the march from the "Nutcracker
Suite" Schumann's Soldiers
March" and Lullaby from Erminie
She told us a story of each one,
the type of rhythm and certain ad-
jectives describing them. The chill
dren are expected to remember them
for the next lesson. Often the pupils
are allowed to dramatic them.
At 2:45 we began watching the
clock. But I have found that 9
school day doesn't often end in a
slump. Although Bobbie had been
asked many times to show Miss Nc
Cune his eyes, he had succeeded in
finishing the story of Jack and the
Bean Stalk" and very gleefully told
us about it.

The "three RS" began in earnest
this week at the William Penn
School, 1902 w. Morris ST., where
I put away childish things and en-
tered the second grade.
With my advanced standing I en-
countered routine. We seemed to
have more text books, for one thing.
We played a great deal-but even
when we did, our songs and games
had to do with equations, grammar
points, or gymnastics. But all this
is as it should be when one reaches
the second grade.
Opening exercises are always
short delights. Good morning.
dear teacher we're glad to see
you," is carried on dozens of Shrill
little voices in every grade of the
public schools. This is followed by
other songs and the Lords prayer
or Bible reading.
Say "GOOd Morning
In the 2B grade at Penn School
Miss Susan Baynes was in charge.
The first game we played was one
involving the point of saying good
morning" or good afternoon" in
stead of eli" Il didn't wonder
then why I easily broke up a little
misunderstanding between two boys
before school began by saying Hi,
there, little ones.D

of candy, and about rich men
