and slow and shy at first, gave the
new teacher no easy start.
But there was something about jim
my Gale-lean and wiry, homely faced,
with a slow quiet likable smile-that
made little boys and girls quickly feel
he was their friend. Behind the quiet
of his smile was a warm rebellious
gaiety, rebellious against the poverty
here and the grim loneliness of these
lives. So in the school work little by
little he began to warm them up with
the glimpse of the world outside,
glimpses planned to say to them:
Here's what life can really be! If
only you will work to get ready, here's
what's waiting for you out therel"
! Watching carefully, he saw the first
slow kindling of response, the starved
eagerness of eyes that began to fill
with dreams. But he didn't want mere
students here; he proposed to make
these silent kids regular human little
guys.
So at noon recess and after school
he started them at games out of DOORS
On Saturdays he took them nutting up
into the wooded hills. He taught them
! how to make box kites and skis from
the long hickory slaves of an old hogs
head he had found. They made bob
kin lanterns for Halloween, bobbed
| for apples, cut puppets from card
