Fairbanks School Notes
(Margaret H. Collins)
(Margaret H. Collins)
The boys and girls of Mrs. Kei- j
ly’s room are engaged in a spirited *
contest over their studies. The boys
evidently believe in the motto that
"quality, not quantity, is essential,”
for there are but eight boys against
17 girls in the class. However, the
honors seem to be pretty evenly
divided.
Upon stepping into the second
grade room one can almost imagine
oneself attending a meeting of the
League of Nations. The children I
have been studying the costumes and
modes of life in the various countries
i and colored cut-out pictures of | .
their inhabitants decorate the wails. 1
Here a coy maiden from Japan is j
looking demurely over her fan at a !
| small boy from the Congo, while a ,
! Dutch lad on skates is beckoning j
1 to a black-eyed Persian shepherd.
The seventh and eighth grades
are busy entertaining company thesej
days. Mistress Bones, from the i
Science Room, is making them a!
lengthy visit and teaching them all ]
1 there is to know about her two j
hundred eight parts.
In the high school, the Junior
class has been telling fairy tales in|
connection with the English work, j
The favorite saying just now seems
to be:
"Backward, turn backward, oh tirae.j
in thy flight.
Make me a child again just for to-!
night”, i .
as they strive to recall some of the j
stones of magical lore they knew!
when they were “little kids."
The school library is being cata-'
logued. Just now the classics are1
being sorted and piled in rows on
the library table, giving somewhat '
the appearance of a strange fungus
bed.
Watch us growl Two new pupils
were enrolled this week, making a
total registration of 199 students.
The Armory is being made up as
a playground for the benefit of tn
children. Mr. Steil is in charge of
this work and the Boy Scouts have
volunteered to put the apparatus in
order.
