On Wednesday morning, January
thirty-first, Miss Mary Sheppard,
State Art Supervisor, visited the
Third Grade room and told the
pupils about her recent trip to
Mexico. She answered in a very
instructive way the children's ques-
tions about the people Of that coun-
try, their clothing, homes, work,
and customs. She showed the class
many pictures which she herself
had taken as well as a large num-
ber of picture post cards. The
children were very much interested
in the Mexican articles which she
showed them. Included in her ex-
hibit were pottery, straw toys,
serapes sashes, baskets, wall hang
ings, bowls and traps made from
gourds with thumb nail designs and
a coat made of hand woven linen
and embroidered with bright colors.

Cavities are like many fruits and
vegetables. If a rotten place is in
one fruit it quickly spreads
through the others. Cavities spread
from one tooth to the other.
Be sure to abide by the following
rules:
1. Eat healthy and wholesome
diets.
2. Drink plenty of milk and
water.
3. Brush your teeth daily.
4. See your dentist often.
