HARDING SCHOOL

HARDING SCHOOL
Children of Harding school cele-
brated the George Washington BIZ
centennial by planting % shade
trees in the school playground. The
fund for these trees was raised by
the children themselves, who
brought their pennies to add to a
substantial sum contributed by the
school Mothers club.
Planting was begun Monday, with
brief patriotic exercises by the
children.
Mrs. Resalie Perkins was in
charge of the committee on tree
planting which cooperated with the
general planting scheme inaugur-
ated throughout the city schools
by Superintendent B. M. Gruwell.
The ornamental planting now in
progress on the front lawn of the
school is being contributed by the
elementary school board
We cut out pictures from old
magazines. We pasted the pictures
in our new scrap books. We call
them our health books. We haven't
finished. We need more magazines

a little book pasted on it if we
finish reading library book. Mary
Claire has blue one. Betty Ann
has a red one. Carl has one too.
At the top there is a picture of
girl reading a book to another
little girl. 1t is where our sigma
ture chart used to be. The child
