GIFTS FOR PARENTS

The first movement is deVot-
cd 10 gifts for parents. After the
offering Of many and varied
suggestions by the children the
teacher finally makes a few Of
her own. They decide on candle
holders, recipe folders, calcn-
dars, hand prints in clay, yarn
sadgetS, paper weights or lust
anything the darlingS can make
with their own little hands. The
fond parents probably never get
any REAL use from them but
the spirit is there and It's ALI
very serious 10 the young
minds Along with the gifts go
the making of cards. This is
struggle indeed, especially i'm
the kindergarten, where they
can't yet determine the back
from the front and where a
whole jar OF paste is apt to 90
on one card unless the tots are
carefully watched Then thcrc's
always the child who puts paste

one who wipes his paste-covcrcd
hands on the long curls Of some
shy little miss! The teacher
tries TO remain nonchalant for

much feeling but i'm spite of the

The second movement is the
preparation for the Christmas

a part TO play. He must sing,

but DO SOMETHING.
