from the nearby Presbyterian Home,
of whom the Bancroft children seem
to be so fond. Who says that WASH
ington isn't friendly city, or that
young folks aren't interested In
grown-ups?
The occasion was dubbed "hobby
night" but 1t rather seemed to me
to be the most ideal working out Of
real community spirit Of which I can
remember being q part in a long time.
Our school," as the motivating unit
Of "our neighborhood." Is 100 per
cent actuality between the Bancroft
School and its Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation. The shining reality is not
mere chance but the hobby of its
principal, Miss Linda hobby that
she has pursued so long and so hard
that it Is now the motif of her pro-
fession. From her earliest college
days at George Washington Univer-
sity to her latest graduate work at
Teachers College Of Columbia Uni
versity, she has steadfastly held that
the school should be living unit as
a center of interest. She believes that
the measure of effectiveness of any
school program is the way that it
affects the life of the community"
Without community understanding,
Miss Lind believes the schools infiu-
ence ends at o'clock. To proceed
upon any other basis Is as futile as,
in the graphic language Of Mexican
educator, drawing lines upon water"
Aid Other Children.
Another tenet Of Miss Lind's educa-
tional philosophy is that each priv
ileged community shall adopt an un-
derprivileged one" The Bancroft
School neighborhood has done Just
this. The spirit of Christmas giving
goes on all the year around here. As
result of it, during the term 1000
less-fortunate enthusiastically and
understandingly investigated - have
been recipients Of Bancroft's helping
hearts and hands. Miss Clara G..
Brewer. former principal Of the school,
now retired after long and honorable
career. fashions pot-holders. baby
sacques, attractive dresses and all
sorts OF "undies" for boys and girls.
Bancroft, through her cooperation,
has a goodwill chest whose contents
are no less q Joy to behold than they
must be In actuality to their needy
recipients.
Tremendous factors in this phase
OF the schools community -mindedneSs
have been the activities of Mrs. Riley
Elgin. Mrs. McKelway, Mrs. Clifton
D. Shannon and Mrs. c. r. Maxwell,
working in conjunction with the Par
entTeacher Association.
Through various group meetings the
school and the home approach a mu-
tual basis of understanding. Perhaps
no subject is the cause of more par
entail misunderstanding than the mod
ern way of teaching reading. To
obviate this Mrs. McKelway organized
the parents into groups to attend
reading demonstration lessons. These
were fully discussed by the teachers
