Indianapolis Teacher" Writes Modern
Version of Mother Goose Rhymes
Children Learn Lessons of
Life Through Little
Songs.

Once school children learned that
Little Red Riding Hood said, my
Goodness, grandmother, what large
ears you have!'
But then the song writer's took
it in hand, and it became How
could Little Red Riding Hood have
been SO very good and still kept the
wolf from the door-at these
prices?"
The song writer's and penny tab
loidS spoiled the memory gems
that mothers learned by heart.
So today in the Indianapolis pub
lie schools, Miss F1oro Terrence,
who has charge of a group of forty
five new teachers in the first four
grades, has completed q revised
edition of 1856 memory gems"
CLEANED from among the best used
in the past fifty years.
Teachers were asked to submit
all the memory gems" they knew.
The list was edited and revised by
Miss Terrence and sent to all
teachers.
Learn Through Rhymes
Each morning the room teachers
place gem" on the blackboard
for the children to learn.
Such as:
The busy bee is small, you see,
The ant is little. too.
They teach us all, however small
We have some task to do.
Or individual children each are
given one gem" to learn. And then
at class exercise, they recite their
pieces.
One of the fayoriteS is:
The world is full of number OF things
I'm sure ne all should be happy as kings.
Some of the gems might we'll
apply to groWn-ups as well as chill
dren. Here is a good one:
Speak the truth.
Speak it boldly never fear
Speak It so that all may hear
In the end 1t shall appear.
Truth is best in age and youth
Speak the truth.
Be Happy
Happiness is advocated by:
The worlds very happy place
Where every child ShoYyJS auS
sing,
And always have smiling face,
And never sulk at anything
A slogan to encourage thrift Is:
Make all you can
Save all you can
Give all you can.
Even profound philosophy is
found in:
Be not simply good-be good for
something.
Something for cute 6-year-old
to learn is:
A big black bear stood on ball;
was afraid that he would fall;
But no. he didn't fall at all,
He rolled It all around.
had s. ball: tried to sit
And lie and stand on top of it.
7 couldn't do it. not bit:
tumbled on the ground.
And then there is the rhyme:
This world is not so bad world
As some would like to make it;
Though whether good or whether bad.
Depends on how we take it.

IMPORTANT HINT ABOUT BRo1LlNc STEAK

Best results are usually obtained by
leaving the door open. Scar on one
side and then turn, being careful not
to pierce the brown crust. When both
sides are scared, reduce the heat, and
turn the steak occasionally until
cooked to the desired stage.
To pan-broil steak, scar 1t on both
sides in lightly creased, sizzling hot
skillet, then reduce the temperature
and cook to the desired stage, turning
the heat to insure even cooking. Do
not add water and do not cover. From
time to time pour off accumulated fat
so that the steak will not fry. A thick
steak after soaring may be successfully
finished in hot oven (45O degrees
Fahrenheit). Slip rack under the
steak in the skillet, and the meat will
cook evenly without being turned. This
is a convenient arrangement, for full
attention may then be given to other
last-minute preparations for the meal.
Place the steak, when done, on a
hot platter and season with salt, pep
per and melted butter. Garnish with
parsley and serve at once.
