Except for one case of hardness,
we have had three weeks of per-
feet attendance. District $50 &C
copied our challenge. We are glad
that already we are little ahead
of them.
1t is hard to keep our attention
!, on our studies when Bernard re-
tells his language stories. If all of
us had improved our art and indus
trial work as much these three
weeks as Bernard has, we would
have some sprouting artists in our
school.
At last Frank has lost his ex-
cuse for wiggling. We hope that
this third seat won't shrink too
soon or grow too big.
The fifth grade made parts of
their geography and language
palmer by bringing samples of diff
ferent soils and hazelnuts in their
burs to talk about and examine.
When our supply of different
| wild flowers for bouquets ran low
the Marx children surprised us by
bringing first some lovely punches
of asters and later a blooming
phlox plant. We have transplanted
the plant and hope it will prosper
in school, till wintry weather.
For opening exercises the last
/ two Mondays, every pupil has been
prepared with memory gem. AT.
ter talking over the lesson each OF
the gems teaches, we choose two OF
them to learn that week. During
industrial hour one Friday we
made gay Memory Gem" booklets
with wall paper covers in which tc
keep the gems we shall learn this
year.
We are sure that "Toby Tyler" is
about the most interesting book
we've had read to us yet.
Our next health posters ought
to be better than our first for we
talked over the good and ba6
points of all posters on display.
Friday we finished our hygiene
booklets which we called "The
Door to Health" We had quite 8
time finding illustrations to show
the advise of the good health doc
tors, DR.. Good Food, DR.. Exercise
DR.. Outdoors and DR.. Sleep.

The fifth graders find that they
still need to study their tables and

for their mental arithmetic drills.

Their test marks though passing
