lows planned a dance for November

The foundation of a child's school
life is of the greatest importance,
especially the lirst year of school
when the child enters an entirely
new world from that to which be
has been accustomed. A good pri
mary teacfier is a pearl of great
price and Boardman is especially
fortunate In having an extraordin
arily good one. Mrs. L. E. Marschat
with her tact her love for the chil
dren, her klndlinses, her deep Inter
est combined with modern meth
ods of pedagngy is the "jewel" In
charge, and is greatly appreciated
by the parents of the small folks
under her care. The question of
health Is constantly stressed In the
schools of today, and to further the
Interest In this work and In an ef
fort to bring the child who Is below
normal in weight up to standard,
Mrs Marschat has been serving a
lunch each afternoon of graham
wafers and milk; each child bring
ing his own jar of milk while Mrs.
Marschat has generously purchased
numerous boxes of crackers with
her own funds. Many of the first
graders lost weight their first month
of school due, no doubt to the
strain of entering a new environ
ment and to the long hours, for
the country child leaves home soon
after 8 and does not reach home
until 4:30 or 5 at night School
finances, being as they are here,
seems to make It Impossible to send
the small chlidren home on an ear
lier bus so the weary little student
must remain the long hours.
