In assem bly last week M r. G riffiths held th e close
atten tio n of the B division w ith a discussion of th e
q u estio n , ’’H ave You an E ducated H ea rt?” T eachers
as well as pupils enjoyed his five-m inute talk . T h e
reg ret seemed to be that since this is M r. G riffiths second
talk in assem bly this year it would hard ly be fair to
m ake an im m ediate dem and for a th ird .
Mrs. R isser gave a splendid talk to the A division in
the alternoon assem bly. She did not announce her
topic but aroused keen interest by pro d u cin g a glass ja r
co n tain in g w hat the pupils guessed to be m arbles and
perform ed “ m agic” to the delight of the children.
It was not u n til some little w hite beans came forth
from the m ysterious bag and spread them selves over
the big black “ m arbles” so com pletely th a t it took
several hard jolts to bring the m arbles to th e top th a t
we guessed M rs. Risser was giving us a m eaty lecture
in this little slight-of-hand perform ance and th a t her
topic m ight be, “ H ard Jolts B ring Big T h in g s to th e
T o p .” A nother th o u g h t th a t we gathered from th e
clever illu stratio n is, big th in g s will rise even th o u g h
held dow n by the little and insignificant things.
