The pupils; of the third grade room are starting to make occupa tion books showing all of the peo ple who make and deliver the var ious articles we use in pur every day life. '.j 4-A and B Grades Everyone Would like ;to own a string of pearls. Our interest was unusually aroused in pearls when we were told; a story about a girl and boy who' were given a magic box containing 28 pearls. The pearls were soon lost because thej were not cleaned often. Soon the children were given a second set of pearls, of these they took good care for they tnew they1 would be needed In the future. We desired"fto have a set of pearls, also and were very much pleased to learn that each of us had a set of pearls right in our own mouths., t , So much interest was taken in Chronic Rheumatism! Worst Enemy of English Workers LONDOM-r-Chronic rheumatism is the' worst enemy of the working men and women of the United Kingdom.;,!. ' -l It is responsible for one-sixth of' all Industrial Invalidity, and causes the loss . of three million weeks work annually among, the insured working population -alone. Seventy- per cent of these cases are caused by bad teeth and gums. r I tie IVAVi CilUilLB from which to choose, and" tlie.quality of the offerings, dis played. But where one notices and comments, nine others, intent on matters of importance to themselves, has brought Salem to the front as a city where the best can be purchased at reasonable prices, where selection is ample, where sales persons are qualified to give expert assistance guiding the choice Of medols most suited to the individual purchaser. . This article Is not written at the request or with the knowledge of the Salem Ad Club, or of the merchants who have combined : in , making, this week pbssible. This article is written to .convey congratulations f ronj an organization that has spent almost seventy-five years interpreting and re cording the developments of this section. Individual displays by individual merchants iricrease the prestige of the individ ual merchant' only. ? A city, wide display increases the pres tige bf the city itself. ' , On the occasion of this elaborate civic festivity, dedicated to the enhanced prestige of this great capital city, the Oregon Statesman extends warm congratulations , to the, Salem Ad Crab-arid to-Salem merchants, who have made this Spring ur."Magic Pearl" story that for two weeks oar attention' has been drawn to keeping our pearls clean. We have all,; made, jwstere on which. we add across. mark at the close of each day for washing our teeth. " -i. . , -.j ..: ,: It has been agreed that three times a day or more for washing the teeth is a - good method for keeping our pearls. . : . , .' ,fc In order to help us remember to clean our teeth, we have devoted a small space on our black-hoard for pictures and, methods of how. to care for them. . The space was quickly filled with pictures which were brought in each day. Also we have learned the proper food to eat so we will have our pearls years from now. . . , 4-A anl 5-B We have a library.-Every book we take out we have to make a report on, .The reports are. quite interesting. - a'Ibs a corner of our room we have a poster with a Poll Parrot on it. If anyone whispers ;the teacher .tells us to put our name .by, Polly. ; If we whisper again she tells as to put-a mark after our name. These marks are bard on our deportment grades, . ; . ..Along the. top of our black board is- a new written alphabet. It shows us how to make our let ters correctly. We are trying hard to Improve our writing. " The first of the term the C-A class began learning to do long division. It wasn't very long be fore everybody in the class had learned how to do It. Now we have races in long division. There are two new boys in this room. Their names are Burdette Kindred and Kenneth Wilsey. Burdette came from Colorado and Kenneth is from Texas. We have each written a story about teeth. They are in rhyme. We ire putting them in pretty purple covers . and .illustrating them with pictures. ' ' 3 , . Much interest is being taken in life wonderful out of .doors on these spring days. The boys and girls' of Mrs. ..Elreys room have been spending a great deal of time studying the birds that ; have re turned, from the south and , also the wild flowers already blooming in the woods, ..

U BDSDk'ES They Can Sing on Sprang ; Moonlight Nights Just as" r;. Mortals Do M By ERNEST II. SHANKS Yes, dogs, horses talk, birds talk, cats.: talk, r and sometimes they sing. .Probably theirstan dards of music vary somewhat, and, some efforts are more pleas ing to ns mortals than others., Wo particularly, like 'the singing of the birds, -and we generally dis like the. song; of . the cats, espec ially when Tom and Bod sing a duet on the back yard fence alone about midnight, when wa want to sleep. .j.,-. .j-, ' j ' .;. ;.:;.; ,. ..This Is to tell you about the time Bravo led the chorus... It was a., beautiful,' r clear . moon-light night. The air-was so still that you i could easily hear, the slight est . sound and distant sounds seemed to carry well, just , like they were near. ' My bed , was by the side of the window, where I could look out at the moon .and over the wide lawn of the country home.. " I j could not sleep, j It seemed I had i' been awake for hours, and did not even want to sleep, j- Presently there was a low, deep tone from the lawn, out in front of the houe. Looking out I saw Bravo sitting there,. . lie was look ing up at the moon. Again there was the deep bass tone, long drawn out and smooth as you can Imagine..' Then a few short jerks of his nose, a sort of sneeze, a little clearing of his throat, and the bass solo began. starting deep. in. a strong stead j tone; : he-ran ' up the scale, anJ down and . then in, several varia tions that were really beautiful. He stopped suddenly,- and I no ticed the accompaniment. There was a katydid in the old elm tree rasping away on her fid dle. A great frog down by the creek was playing the saxophone. Crickets were performing on the traps and xylophones. It was something of an .interlude Then Bravo began . again. ' This time In a higher key as if a new theme, but he followed much the same' order as the first. When he stopped .at the end of the solo, the orchestra went on as before, only a little louder.
