And just to pry a JIttle more out of the teachers .we warned them that this was the last time we were going to bother them, for school Is out this week and this la the last school page. And just when It looked as though we weren't going to get anything at i all and were feeling sort of blue Miss Fischer answered the phone out I at Richmond And told as there wasn't any news in her building. And we felt a lot bluer. CHILDREN LIKE LINCOLN PLAYS Even Story of North Wind If Dramatized by Miss Rosen quest's Class Without warning, a howling wind was heard in one corner of the room. Above It all. could be heard the voice of Eolus trying to convince his son that summer was no time for the North Wind to be at play. After much persuasion North Wind was allowed a little frolic. But Oh! the damage that was done during that time. He rushed upon everything In sight. The beautiful lily was broken, the heavily burd ened apple tree was mercilessly shaken, while the grain lay aa if a mower had passed over the golden ceadA. baadeniy tne stern voice oi eoius was beard in tne distance, isonn Wind knew trouble was In store for him. nevertheless, he hurred to his father. In great anger. Eolus for bade the North Wind to ever ven ture out gaain except In winter. Without apparent confusion the scene was changed. It was midnight In the forest. A meeting, of the birdg and animals was evident, the main object being to do all In their power to keep the sun from coming up. But their errorts were in Tain. For lo! a bright light was slowly appearing above the horizon. The playlet closed with the gradual dis appearing of all the animals, sadly wending their way Into the forest. Such pleasure as the Lincoln children derive from the dramatiza tion as given by Miss Rosenquest during - the literature period would be hard, indeed, to express. Much originality. Interest and enthusiasm is displayed In every playlet attempt ed. The work consists In becoming thoroughly familiar with a story, then playing it, sometimes with the book In hand and at other times without it. Every day. however, daring the dramatization period each child is given some part in. a play. Then his ability Is developed from day to day and in time his dramatic power, poise and self possession be comes and unconscious characteristic of the child himself. And then she went on talking and I we felt better and. better and pretty soon we swelled np and nearly burst a bntton with .pride For this is What she said IVJrx ijial Goe On Trip. . J. C. Nelson, principal of Salem tfilgb, spe.it the week-end on the San- tiamj on a botanizing trip. "We've enjoyed your page ever so much and the children clipped out every article on It and pasted them intot a book and read them. "And a cover was designed for the book and it was glued together and put on the book shelf "And how Vhenever.you want to see what your school page had on It, just come out to Richmond and we can show you the whole thing, for It Is part of our library." 'And so we began to almost wish that school would keep on forever and ever. But it Isn't- And it to the youngsters don't want uAiuvii v r in c Htm , j by Lincoln Junior High i ! . - ' : . Next Tuesday afternoon the Lin coln junior high school will give an exhibition of the term!s work, of the manual training' and home economics departments. The lower hall will be used for the display and parents and friends of the school are urged to attend' and also to bring their lunch baskets and remain for the picnic on the school grounds later in the day. ; Hot coffee and ice cream cones will be offered for sale for the berie fit of the student body fund.
