When you learn to count, you
begin by counting up to ten.
This may be because we have
just ten fingers, but Of course
you mustn't use your fingers
when you count. Even so, peo-
pie would look awfully funny
with six fingers on each hand.
But you can get to nine or
ten by different ways. You can
count right straight through,
from one on up, or you can put
numbers together, like five and
four or five and five. This way
is more fun, because you can
do it in different ways, and also
because when you put numbers
together you can learn how to
Play Store.
Second and third grade chill
dren in Chambers School are
now finding out about putting
numbers together by running
stores right in their rooms. In
Mrs. Lois Faflick's econd
grade, they have built a card
board store building calle
"Schoolville," and the children
take turns being the store
keeper and selling things to
each other. Miss Mary Coils
second graders have set up the
|"Chambers Market" in the
tower-like alcove that is part
of their room, and have brought
empty cartons from home. They
asked their mothers to open
these particular cartons on the
bottom when they were first
used, so that they will look new
and full at the store. Some of
the boys also provided lead
Islugs, which serve very well
for Play Money.
In Mrs. Lucy Elliott's third
grade room, the store is decor
ated with bright red paper, and
has an awning. The framework
and the counter are study
built of wood.
We liked the touch added by
one of the signs in Miss Coils
room. When we visited there,
the children were working on
some other subject; and a
neatly printed sign had been
attached to the store front,
which said, market Closed"

Nine large original drawings,
each one accompanied by a neat
printed caption, telling "The
Story of Cloth in Early Cleve-
land" have been placed on dis
play in the lower hall Of Su-
perior School by the third grade
pupils of Mrs. Vivian Noble.
This display, an outgrowth
of the children's study of early
pioneer days and ways, follows
the process Of making home
made clothing from the shear
ing of wool and the picking of
flax - the only Norther n
sources of cloth - to the final
garments of our ancestors. The
original posters and captions
tell about the washing, carding,
spinning, weaving, dyeing, and
sewing Of wool, about the light
weight, cool linen made from
flax for summer wear, and
b o ut linsey-woolsey, which
was a mixture Of linen and
wool. The children also drew
the many pictures necessary to
tell the story. All in all, it is
a workmanlike and accurate
job.
Caledonia
Miss Iva Budd's fifth grade |
children at Caledonia School
have written a play about the
founders of our country, which
was presented at the P.T.A.'s
annual Founders Day."
The play, entitled Founders
Review, afforded the class
good opportunity to review
their American history, and
presented such well-known per-
sonages as William Penn, Mas
sasoit, Miles Standish, James
Oglethorpe, and others. All the
children wore costumes to fit
their parts. The play pointed
up the lesson that past, present,
and future are all related to
each other, and that former
heroes give way to new ones 1
who carry on.
The children also gave the 1
play to pupils Of the fourth, \
fifth, and sixth gr des.
