IN THE GRADE SCHOOL
Grade Miss Jolly
This week we have practiced
how to read smoothly. We may
take our books home at the end of
the week if we earn five stars for
reading.
We have a sandbox like little
boy in our reader. We have made
a farm like he did and have made
animals, a house, a barn, and
many other things for our farm.
Some of us brought toy tractors
and cars too. Now we are finding
stories about how people live on
the farm, and are bringing pic
lures that tell about them too.
Some children in our room live on
farms and they can tell us many
things about them to help us.

Grade II-Miss Taeuber
Calvin's reading group has
started a new second grade

We read Dorothy Adds poem
Little" in our new readers. Some
of the children liked it so much
that they memorized it. We have
picture on our bulletin board
that goes with the poem.
In our spelling test last Friday
there were nineteen one-hund-
reds. There were seven perfect
scores in the arithmetic test.
The different rows are having
race in arithmetic. Each row
chose the name of a car. When
we use our drill card, the row
that gets a perfect score first each
time goes one mile. We are on our
way to Morton now. One row has
already gone three miles. We
hope, eventually to get to Mime
apolis.
Grade III-Miss Ide
We were all glad to get back to
I school after our Christmas vaca-
ton. We have started an indoor
garden activity. We have planted
to narcissus bulbs and six cactus.
We read the directions for plant
ing and caring for them. We shall
enjoy watching them grow. We
have begun the study of wool. We
are going to make a big sheep
ranch on our sand table.
We have begun our work in
multiplication but we still need
lots of practice in carrying in adj
dition ard borrowing in subtrac-
ton.
We took our second test on all
the addition facts Friday morning.
These people had everyone right:
Ruth Fuller, Phyllis Gray, Dom

tinued to observe the birthday"
which Stevenson had willed to
her. Stevenson proved to be a
good prophet for her husband was
a wealthy man, and in their lux
urious home at Port Washington,
Long Island, she received her
gifts" of costly jewelry and ar
rayed herself in her "fne raj
ment' of Paris gowns.
Last year, Mrs. Cochran de-
cided that she had enjoyed more
than her share of the unique
Christmas present which Steven
son had "willed" to her. So, in
stead of letting it revert to the
President of the United States, as
Stevenson had whimsically sug-
gested would be done if she
should neglect or contravene"
the provisions of his will, she
passed the birthday along to her
niece, Anita Leslie, a well-known
British author who is the daugh-
ter Of Shane Leslie, Irish poet,
novelist and dramatist, and Mar
jorie Ide Leslie, sister of Annie
Ide Cochran.
If ever Miss Leslie decides that
she no longer wishes to keep Ste
venson's "gift birthday" there
are several notables, born on De-
cember 25, who would doubtless
welcome it. 1t would be especial
ly fitting, perhaps, if she con-
ferred it upon a little boy who is
"out of all justice denied in con-
ISOLATION and profit of a proper
birthday" even though he is a
scion of royalty. That little boy
is Prince Edward, the young son
of the duke and duchess of Kent.
Or she might pass it along to
another member of the royal
house of her native England
young Prince Edwards aunt, the
duchess of Gloucester. Some 9TH
er notables born on Decem-
Der Is are Evangeline Booth,
world commander of the Saliva
ton Army; Helen Twelvetrees,
actress; Rebecca West, novelist;
Gladys Swarthout, opera singer;
Robert L. Ripley, the Believe 1t
or Not" man; Paul Manship,
sculptor; Belle Baker, singer, and
Jerry Rodman, six-day bicycle
racer.
