How About
Our Paper?
During the newspaper strike
the boys and girls in Mrs. Ruth
ann Banks room in Mayfair
School have been reading what
ever other papers they could
get their hands on. Among
other periodicals, they brought
to school some magazine Sec
tions of New York papers (old
because there is a strike there
too), which had quite a number
of pictures of abstract art ir
them.
Now there may be a lot OF
deep, hidden meaning in mod,
ern abstract art, or there may
not be; but to these children a
great deal of it looked like
something that they could whip
up equally as well. So they set
about making some art crea-
tions of their own.
The result was-well. let's
face it: abstract. The designs
featured great deal of string
wires and pieces of cord, plus
a miscellaneous assortment of
other types of material, fasten-
ed in place on a back ground
and framed. The titles given to
the children's handiwork were
just are ''far OUT, too; they in.
cluded such names as "Junk
Yard No. T." "Space Route -
Racer Blob" and "Ssemylgu.'
(That last one you have to
read backwards!)
In some Of them. designs
such as faces emerging from
the tangles if you looked hard
enough. This, we have heard
is one of the features of some
abstract art. Some of the chill
dren talked about the possibility
Of offering their works for
sale, perhaps for abstract
money. But we guess you never
know these days.

Amazing Teocher-Author
Visits RozeIe School

The third grade children in
Rozelle School had a most un-
usual experience last week.
They were visited by a real
author, a woman who wrote
one of the textbooks which they
use in their Social Studies
work: Living in M o d e n
Cleveland"
This gifted woman is Miss
Ruth Robinson, who was for
some years Principal of Hough
Elementary School in Cleve-
land, and who is now a cur
riculum expert for the social
sciences for the entire elemen-
tary system of the Cleveland
schools. But not only has Miss
Robinson been a teacher, a
principal, a consultant, and
now a departmental expert and
an author; she is also blind.
The children were fascinated
to hear how, when she discover
ed what was happening to her,
she learned to read and write
Braille letters, and actually
wrote her textbook on Cleve-
land with a Braille typewriter
which has only six keys. The
Cleveland school authorities
were glad to have her stay on
and do very useful work after
her handicap made it necessary
for her to leave the position at
Hough School. She is buster
than ever now.

zelle, and her talk to the four

Assembly Honors
Robert Frost
Another assembly held in an
East Cleveland grade school
last week was not planned in
advance, because it could not
have been. Upon hearing of the
death of the American poet
Robert Frost, Miss W / d a
Bayes, Superior School princi-
pal, decided to call together the
three upper grades of the
school and read some of Frost's
poetry to them.
First she read them a few
facts about Robert Frost's life,
which was one of quite humble
beginnings (not in New Eng
land) and quite late recognition
Of his talents. Then she chose
some of his better-known poems
to read to the students, and
told them a little bit about
each of them.
"It is not important for you
to remember or to understand
all about these poems today"
she told the children; "you will
probably read them again
when you are older. But | do
want you to remember that on
the day after Robert Frost
died, some of his poems were
read to you"
Miss Bayes read the poems
entitled "Blueberries," "Stop-
ping BY Woods on a Snowy
Evening" !" America is Hard to
See," "The Gift Outright" and
others Of Frost's works. And
she ended this impromptu as
sembly with "Tuft of Flowers" +"
which closes with that magni-
ficent paradox:
"Men work together" l told
him from the heart,
whether they work together
or apart"

ties a section at a time. The
