Garden Club Schedules September Flower Show Teacher Telis of Summer School By Wilma Thompson Teaching is a wonderful pro fession. You work only nine months of the year, then go to school yourse’f during the sum- mer in order to learn enough to teach the next year. This summer I had to tak” Oregon history, and I discovered that I have been al lowing my kindergarten children to do their Indian dances all wrong.

It was really wonderful com ing back to the farm, after finish ing three finals on Friday, all of them “stinkers” (an expression used by Shakespeare, I think) taking my last kindergarten class, and an organ lesson. I tottered in'o the old farm house with a sigh of relief, and breathed once more the clean, pure air of th.’ country. All that wonderful knowledge that I had stuffed into my head durmg eight long weeks, suddenly left me, as silently and eomplately as though I had never been to school! What did it mat ter that Oregon became a stale in 1859; or that bradyphasia has to do with imperfect speech; or that one of the principles of learn ing is that "learning is a contin uous process?" There were still a few r:pe cherries on the tree, the lawn needed mowing, the new kitten had grown two inches at least, and the deep-freeze was full of green peas from the gar den. Life was simple and glorious. But best of all. the alarm won’t have to be set for several days— not until school starts again in September! Say where has the summer gone, anyway? | , j ; ' : | I ! | Pencil Tablets — Erasers Composition Books Lunch Kits — — Rulers ORE, The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary held joint installation of officers on Monday evening.
