Miss WiIlie's" Nursery School Plays Important
Role In Lives Of Seven Weldon Youngsters Parents
By Janet Schnitser

Weldon-Almost all children
look forward with eagerness I,
entering school. and the parents
are as hoperu;:y expectant as
their chiioren. In Weldon the
citizens are most fortunate j I
having a good Nursery School
under the direction OF Mrs. H
G. Lassiter miss Willie, as th4
children call her).
Parents here realize that the
proper preparation for graded
school is important since in their
first training T., foundation
will be laid for the child's get
ting along with people and he
will begin to acquire those skills
and habits that are so essential
to successful living. Nursery
school is a boon to the child
who needs training in simple
routine.
In Weldon Mrs. Willie Lassi-
ter has a fine Nursery Class at
her home at COL Sycamore
Street which begins each morn
ing at 900 and closes at 1880.
This nursery school is doing a
wonderful work in developing
sense of responsibility in these
tiny tots from the ages Of 3 to
5 years of age. Miss Willie" is
instructing them in the game of
give and take which helps them
to get along and be a friendly,
-ikeable person.
One day in a nursery group as
I looked around for a place to
throw some scrap paper, one Of
he little tots ran to me with
a waste basket. Just a small
hing but indicative Of con-
sideration of others the quick
meetings OF situations that is
characteristic of children in a
fine nursery school.
At a recent party. one little
fellow began eating before ev-
eryone was served and right a.
way he spoke up, Miss Willie
says we must wait until we can
all eat Another example Of
the fine work this school is do
ing that Of instilling manners in
the little folks.
Vixen nine o'clock rolls
around in Weldon YOU can see
seven little tots with lunches in
their hands rushing to Miss Will
lies to nursery school. Their
routine consists of coloring, cut
ting with scissors and working
with clay
The child's use Of language
grows as Miss Willie reads them
stories and in turn the child re-
lates events or tells stories Of
his own. Looking at pictures
suggests questions and lots of
things to talk about. 1t is fun
listening to phonograph records
and learning Mother Goose
Rhymes. Music plays big part
in nursery school as they learn
little songs there is fun and re-
Taxation through music and rhy-
thms. Miss Willie visits inter-
esting places in the community
with them; teaching them to be
proud Of their home town. Draw
ing and painting. paper and clay
work give scope for large mus
Gle activity. The children are
stimulated to develop their use
of language through pictures,
story telling and group CONVEX
sation.
At 1890 each morning a visi-
tor would be thrilled to see this
group of tiny tots at Miss Will
lies Nursery School set their
table and chairs for their morn
ing tea party. They each bring
a small lunch which Miss Willie
divides between them all. After I

without an outstanding favorite and
with actually any of hundred

The big name players were re-

cause the Memphis Country Club
course-although it measures 6,6l7
yards-does not require too many
golf shots and because it has the
tricky Bermuda grass green's where
bad putters are just as likely to get
hot as the good ones.

Columbia Country Club in Wash

Its probably a. good course by
Southern standards, but not by the
standards we rate courses around
Washington.
Bermuda Courses Tricky.
| Bermuda grass courses are new
to most players in the champion
ship. The ball sits UP beautifully
in the fairways, ideal for brassie
and spoon shots, but this course Is

common for the average player to
complete round without using a
wood from the fairways. The ball
