Fire
A fire which threatened at one
time to destroy the dwelling and
outbuildings on the farm of Enoch
Donovan, on Saturday night last,
but the quick response of the Ellen
dale Fire Company and later by the
addition of the fire companies from
Milford and Milton, saved the prop
erty from utter destruction.
The fire which was of an unknown
origin, and commenced in the fod-
der stacks, where nine stacks of
! fodder and a large rick of straw
were totally destroyed, and a cow
! shed was also burned. Loss about
| $500.
| Mr.. Donovan has an improved
farm with dwelling and outbuildings
to match, and the loss of them
would have been hard to replace in
these times of depression, and the
low price of farm produce.

Glendale School News
The lS1pils of the first and second
grades have completed their unit of
work which they called "The Study
of Farm Life"
Some of the achievements in con-
nection with this unit of which the
pupils feel proud, are:
The learning of twelve songs and
two poems; the making of a farm
booklet, which was developed dur
ing language periods, and illustrat-
ed during art periods; the building
of model farm on the sand table;
two paintings in alabastine and the
study of ten farm animals and
fowls.
Children who do this type of work |
not only get subject matter, but they
develop desirable social habits |
which will carry over into life sit
uations. They work with zest and |
pleasure which makes for we'll be-
ing and happiness of both teachers
and pupils. ..:
Grades Three and Four
The third and fourth grades, Mrs. |
Grace Smith, teacher, are making a
special study of life in Colonial |
Days. The classes are getting ex-
perience in searching for informa-
ton which they will report to the
class. We are planning to do work
during our art periods, showing the
life of our forefathers in the Colon
ial period. In continuing the work
of writing poems, we wish to say
that each pupil in grades three and
four have a poem of their own for
the class poem book.
The following poem written by
pupil in the third grade:
Autumn Leaves
The leaves are turning yellow,
They are falling to the ground,
They look like yellow butterflies,
Flying all around.
