Campus High Instructor Finds Machine Useful in Work. rj'lio story of Cinderella, which is by inheritance the rightful property of the French children, and the story of the "Old Woman and her Goat,” the French version of the tale of the “Old Woman and Her Pigs” have their place in the teaching of the French lai>guage at the campus high school. There are folk-songs, ballads, lulla bies. and the fairy-tales, which Chester ton calls the one true form of democ racy. all sung or told in French on graphophone records which Mrs. Edith; Baker Pattee, instructor in French and hatin at the University high school, uses in teaching the language. There arq 60 children, from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of the junior high school in yirs. Pnttee’s French classes. }frs. Pattee’s method • is to let the students hear the French song or story nll the talking-machine, at the same time showing them the words written ont. thus giving both visual and auditory impressions. Then the class discusses tlm story, if it is a story, in French,, us ing the new words. The repetition of words and phrases in these tales, a thing every child loves, is also a very impor tant item ill the teaching of a foreign language, says Mrs. Pattee, and the long rigmarole about “Fire, Fire, Burn Stick. Burn Stick. Beat. Ox, Ox. Drink Water •*-” and so on, is of great ser vice in really learning French. When Mrs. Pattee’s classes learn the national songs, such as the Marseillaise, and the folk-songs and ballads, they also learn the place which they have in the life of the people. The origin and real meaning of thes? songs is taught as well as the words and tune, and pronuncia tion in singing, as? well as in speech, is taught by means of these records. The students who are also doing operetta work under Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck, of the school of music, are especially in terested in the differnce between sing ing and speaking enunciation, Mrs. Pat tee says. The students are also writing autobio graphies in French, with original illus trations. Some of these autobiographies, Mrs. Pattee says, are true, and others j are purely fanciful. Slides furnished by the extension di vision showing different aspects of French life, are also used. “The work furnishes an opportunity for the children to really learn the people,” ’ says Mrs. Pattee, “and to realize that children arc children the world over.” JUNIORS WIN RACE.

Miss Robson, who has in the past iu muse wen Known sueces es. “The Rejuvenation of A A Little Rit Old Fashioned,” “The Making Over of Mrs. Matt” and was last season seen in the dramatization of the Saturday Evening Post’s great story “Tisli” has been given a part in “No body’s Fool” somewhat different from j !uny of the roles she has ever essayed, and if the reports of those who have witnessed the play be true, theatre goers of this city will indeed be given a rare treat of comedy.
