"A valentine may be a ribbon or I

"A valentine may be ribbon or a
ring,
A bit of lace or any sort of thing.
The present doesn't count bit:
It's the love that goes along with it
Which makes the real thing"
If a poll were made Of the ele-
mentary schools of our city, both
pupils and teachers alike probably
would agree that there is no other
festival other than Christmas which
has a more general appeal, although
no general observance of February IA
Is scheduled on the school calendar.
Weeks before, however, the valen-
tine atmosphere delightfully."- intrudes
itself into the school room picture In
the kindergartens and first and sec
ond grades the handiwork of the pupils
begins to include the making of val
entines for mother and father and
other dear ones. The valentine box
also appears on the scene, so brave
and so gay with its slit in the top to
receive the missives that are to re-
pose in it awaiting delivery by the
valentine postman and his assistants
the very last moment before school
closes St Valentines day
This last week it has taken all sorts
of shapes. from blood-red hearts con-
structed of crepe paper and dotted
with silver cupidS to sober gray mail
boxes contrived with amazing in
genuity by the children themselves.
Sometimes the teacher has motivated
by suggestion the form which the VAL
entine day celebration or observance
should take, but in the majority of in
stances groups of children have
formed committees to work out their
own projects in cooperation with
their teachers.
Reading lessons on charts and on
the blackboard have either supple
mented the children's handiwork or
suggested fresh avenues of interest.
In cases where the children are old
enough to write compositions on the
subject the written work of the class
room has followed the general theme.

vorites as well as centering the various
social activities of the day about its
ideals.
The children also are acquainted
with the explanation that the modern
celebration of the day links up with
the Roman festival Lupercalia, which
took place on February IS. At that
time, so the story runs, each of the
young men celebrating the festival
drew from box the name of a lady
to whom he was to be faithful. II was,
