to have: his alphabet, botl
large and small; numerals
which were as often the oil
Roman ones as Arabic; simpl
words containing the mos
common vowel sounds; and
since this was a God-fearins
handsome maXims and Bibl,
verses for moral instruction.
The first grade pupils o
Miss Bette Anspach at Pros
pect School were most inter
ested in Colonial horn book:
when they found out abou'
them. So they made some o
their own. Instead Of woot
they used cardboard, and in
stead of animal skin, they usec
transparent plastic, a sub
stance which our forefather>
didn't have; but otherwise
their modern horn books were
much like those of their ances-
tors in early America.
1t was fun deciding what
things just had to go on them
because that was another way
of saying that they were the
most important things.
Caledonia Observes
Traffic Safety Month
April has been Traffic Safe
ty month at Caledonia School
On the 5th, Sergeant William
Campbell of the East Cleveland
Police Department gave a lec-
ture to the three upper grades
of the school on bicycle safety
rules, and showed them a film
on safe riding.
Then on the Goth, he re-
turned to the Caledonia play
ground to check the condition
of the pupils bicycles. 1t is an
indication of the size of Gale
donia's bike population to re-
port that seventy-three ve-
hicles passed his inspection
tests.
All this was in preparation
for the schools annual Bike
Rodeo, which was scheduled for
this Tuesday, the 25th, on the
schools paved playground.
Seven tests were to be passed
by each bicycle rider and his
machine, with the perform
ances tabulated by a group of
mothers belonging to the
schools Parent-Teacher As
sociation.
All pupils of the three upper
grades, whether they ride bikes
or not, had an opportunity to
watch their classmates make
~" turns, circles, and snake
like progress through line of
obstacles, in preparation for
an approaching summer season
Of high hazard to juvenile
cyclists. The annual Rodeo has
the full support of the Cleve-
land Auto Club as we'll as of
the Police Department, and is.
Of course, held at all of our
six elementary schools as it is
at Caledonia.

developed series of
light steps, progressing from
simple work with the primary
