trouble at the branch between

After discussion as to the best
and most economical way to
make the crossing safe, Warren
O'Neal offered to donate the
creosoted poles. These would be
used to cross-lay the bottom of
the branch. Howard Easter, who
was presiding in Dickerson's

possible to meet him on Satur-

foil. and his rocket looks as if
lit is ready to take off right up
through the ceiling.
His name is, of course, "Wal-
ter Schirra." He was made by
the children when they learned
that the real Walter Schirra
was about to go around the
world six times. They talked
about what things he might see
up there, and they had seen pic
lures in papers of the control
panels that he would be using;
so they made a control panel of
their own, and took turns push
ling the buttons and levers when
they were wearing the space
helmet. They got the astronaut
and rocket made (of cardboard,
if we must be technical) on the
day before Schirra's flight.
Then on Oct. 3rd, they listen
ed from time to time on a por-
table radio brought to school
to find out how he was doing,
and what orbit he was on.
They were anxious to get
home after school to see on
television what Schirra had
seen in space, and to find out
later from his press conference
what his experiences up there
had been. They brought maps
and pictures of his flight to
school the next day.
1t beats all how matter-of-
factly these young children take
all of this. He was going to go
around the world six times; so
he went around the world six
times. So what else is new?
Clean Sweep at
Rozelle Addition
We didn't know until re-
Gently that all of the classes in
the new Rozelle School addition
were the very young ones. Of
the eight rooms in it, five are
first grade rooms, two are kin
dergartens. and one is not yet
assigned. The blackboards, fur
niture, and everything else is
scaled to their size; and, ap-
propriately enough, the newest
facilities are for the newest
This presents some ideal op-
portunities for the teaching of
the children, too. For instance,
take the subject of cleanliness
and neatness: it can be taught
on a grade-wide basis. The

building is new, bright and
clean; OK, let's keep it that
way. Every room is fresh and
unscarred, so they all start out
equal; this is fine. go thou and
|do likewise"
This leads naturally into
such subjects as politeness and
consideration for others.
There is sort of a Rozelle Ad-
dition code being built up in the
youngsters minds.
Say "please" and "thank
you" when the chance comes to
use the words; say pardon me-"
lif you have to walk in front of
someone.
Take turns at the drinking
fountains (which are just the
right height!); listen to the
person who is speaking; and
help others by doing your
share of the work with the
wastebaskets, blackboard clean
ling, plant boxes and so on.
And all Of this is going on in
seven rooms at once!
The children were recently
shown a State Board film en-
titled Courtesy for Beginners"
which fitted in nicely with the
things they were being asked
to do in their new building.
They have appointed "help-
Iers" and "chairmen" in each
room, to be responsible for the
numerous items of housekeep-
ing which are required in any
classroom filled with active
children.
They are also learning to CO.
operate with each other in or
der to keep everything running
smoothly.
How is that for a fresh start
in a new building?

years. a man named Jonathan
Hale and his family moved from
Connecticut to a farm near
Bath, Ohio, north of Akron, and
started to build a home there.
By 1926 a fine three-story
brick house had been erected,
as we'll as sheepbarn, spring
house. and other structures.
Recently this pioneer home
stead was decided to the Wes-
tern Reserve Historical Society
of Cleveland, who fixed it up
as a museum of early Ohio life
and opened it for public view
ing. And last week two East
Cleveland classes, fourth graders
from Chambers School, visited
it as a part of their study of
pioneer life.
The children saw all sorts Of
things there that they had never
seen before. They saw how milk
and butter were kept cool in
the spring house; how bricks
were made, yarn was dyed,
wheat was ground, and soap
was made.
In the carriage house they
saw the harness on a model
horse. and the carriages and
wagons that early pioneers used
to drive. And in the house were
many articles of daily living
that were quite unlike the
things used in homes today.
On their return to school,
school, they proceeded to find
out all they could about pioneer
living in the early days of Ohio.
Under the direction Of their
teachers, Mrs. Helen 10th and
Miss Jane Osborne, they read
stories. looked up and recorded
facts from history books, and
drew pictures of what they had
seen at the Hale Homestead.
This experience helped them
greatly in their study of the
history Of the Western Reserve
of Ohio, and aroused their in
terest in finding out more in
formation about the early days.
Transportation
Is Studied
AS part of their Social
Studies course, the third grade
children in Miss Wilma Reid's
room at Caledonia School are
beginning a study of various
methods of transportation.
Since Transportation" is too
big a subject as it stands, the
children were asked to name the
different methods of moving
people from one place to an
other, and to decide which of
these methods they wanted to
concentrate on as a special top
ic of study. After some discus
sion, they decided on boats and
boating.
They agreed that they could
find out about boats in a num-
Der of ways. One way was to
have taken rides in boats, of |
course; but there were other
ways, too.
These included books, maga-
zines, newspapers, picture post
cards, movies, boat models, and
talking with people who knew
about boats.
They agreed to use as many
If these ways as they could to
bring to class a great deal of
information about the subject.
AS starter, a number of
children who had taken boat
rides with their families were
asked to draw pictures Of these
The class is now going on
from there, with part of the in
terest and excitement in the
study coming from the fact
that nobody knows just how
much they will find out.
We are confident that it will
be a great deal.
