she must keep her promise.
But try a. she would. Juns could

That secret conversation az his

June crinEed whenever Marie
came into her presence. She felt
the dislike Marie had for her. and
in turn she disliked the bold-sysd
girl.
She wished she nerd not be in
such close association with the girl
who was pretending to be some
thing she really was not.
June's own cheeks flushed Al the
thought OF deceit. Why, she was
pretending herself But there was
not any attempt TO defrsud by her
pretense. Marie's pretenss was .

and grass, and water would ruin
the grounds again.
My sixth grade decided to do
something about this and to leave
behind a more beautiful school
ground for future ones to remem-
Der us by. We were studying soil
conservation in class, so, with the
help of booklets published by the
Department of Agriculture, we
started to work on the grounds.
When spring came, the classes
went out and chose spots that need
ed improvement. We divided the
ground between two classes, and a
group of five or six boys and girls
were assigned to each spot.
I went to ali other classes in the
school and gave a talk before we
started our work. I told them:
The sixth grades are taking up
the project of improving our
grounds. Please do not undo our
work by trampling on what We have
planted" If this didn't work, our
personal talks with the younger
children did.
The girls planted rock gardens
with plants brought from their
gardens at home, and the boys filled
up the gullies.
First we built check-dams sug-
gested by the Department of Agri-
cultures booklets. Every 2 feet
down the gullies, we set into the
ground boards, sticks and bricks,
and filled the places in between the
dams with dirt. Now the water can
wash down the gullies and through
the check-dams, but it won't take
the soil along with it. To further
check the water We set sod on the
terraces. We cut the sod from a
pasture of a neighboring farm,
since there is little enough on the
school grounds, and hauled it in
wheelbarroWs. We did all this dur
ing school time, instead of sitting
In class reading about ton
Of natural resources.
The recent rainy weather has
proved that our project will hold
out long time. The grounds look
much better now than before and
we hope that our project will give
visitors a better impression of our
school.

Pianist Finds Practice Is Fun When
She Acts as Her Own Teacher
Prize Contribution,
BY ANN STREETER, IS.


A system that turns piano
practice into fun has been devised
by Madge Barbour, IL, of 1906
North Carolina avenue N. E., a
student at Eliot Junior High
School.
Madge has been studying piano
for four years. This is the way
her system works. First she pre-
tends she isgthe pupil and plays
the pieces assigne-, by her teacher.
Then, remembering the difficult
places, the notes she had trouble
playing Madge points them out like a
teacher. Lastly, she again pretends
she is the pupil and again plays
a piece through, usually with ease
an success.
II pretend I am both pupil and
teacher" Madge said, land talk
for both. I try to play my exercise
as I would want a pupil of mine to
play. My system helps me to inn
prove each piece and gives me much
enjoyment at the same time"
Along with her piano study,
Madge has several hobbies Of which
designing and collecting vases is
the most important. She plays
IN the school orchestra and sings
in the glee club, and at home her
piano lessons and hobbies keep her
busy.
All this, however, does not inter-
fere with her school work, for she
earns high grades In her studies,
history being her favorite.

cleaned and bleached before they
can be used. Grandmother fashions
the dolls into shape with pipe stem
cleaners, which hold them in posi-
ton, and then decorates them with
parasols, bonnets, pocketbooks and
other things necessary to complete
doll costume.
My grandfather paints the faces
for the dolls. Instead of sash,
grandmother puts a ribbon around
the dolls waist and sews piece of
lace into circle to make a neck
piece. The larger shells are deco
rated with smaller ones, painted
various colors.
When they are finished, the dolls
look like those of long ago, when
long dresses and bonnets and para
soils were in style. Grandmother
gives me one every year. In addi-
ton to the girl dolls, she has given
me one shaped like an elephant and
another like a duck.
