grown rapidly. Much surprising and
valuable information has been
gathered by them.

the study Of the various products,
which are to be secured from an

also working hard to master all 100
subtraction combinations and have
learned to borrow.
The little folks In the first grade
are struggling very hard with
reading now, spending most OF
their time on It with frequent little
rest periods. Because Juanita An
derson's father has q garage the
class decided to visit It and study
the new Chevrolets.
They put the story Of their ex-
cursion in their trip booklet which
Miss Hechtner made for them Of
large poster paper and in which
she printed their stories for them
to read.
