Our Chapel.
Chapel is a time that every one looks forward to as a time of rest from daily frets and cares—a time of inspiration, information, and recreation.
The bell rings at 10:15, a scramble fox places in line, the second bell rings, and then, one, two, three, all march into chapel.
Now every one finds himself seated. Mr. Powell stands on the platform to direct the exercises of the hour.
The song is selected. Of course, you know the number, it is No. 58, “Work For The Night Is Coming.” My, how we work and sing! The hall vibrates with the most rapturous melody ever heard.
Miss Cunningham leads us in prayer in which God’s blessings are asked for the day’s work.
Announcements? Yes, there are always announcements. Miss Dawson must remind us of our book reports, “It’s the last day —remember or suffer the penalty—automatic failure.”
Of course, Mr. Lumpkin doesn’t forget to announce Community Meeting—“Mr. Ga-herty from Picayune will speak.”
Then the trombone toots, "Orchestra practice at 6 :30.”
Last, but not least, the student announcements:
Buck: I was late to class this morning. Dib: I forgot to get up my English today.
The stage statutes: Bud & etc. “We talked in class today.”
Our exercises would not be complete without the constant reminders: “Don’t forget to close the gates,” “Keep off the green grass.”
Nothing else—pass to classes.
Recasting the First Grade Program:
The fundamental step in planning my work for the first grade Fs to select that which is natural as opposed to artificial. I try to do away with routine formalism and distaste, by giving the child what he can do whole-heartedly.
Two hours each day for reading does not mean two hours for each child, but two hours of my time divided among a number of small groups, while a majority of the class works unsupervised, at this and that.
During the directed periods come the formal work as a class whole, writing, arithmetic, spelling, singing, story telling, all this must of necessity be led by the teacher. Lastly, I use a flexible adaptable j program, which is more efficient than a ■ rigid one, and brings better results. !

The Second Grade Yesterday.
Just as we watered our last flower, Don( went the bell. Such a clamor to line U] but in a moment we were all in our desk Why, most every one got a golden star fc cleaning their teeth this morning. Te drank milk, and all washed their faces an hands.
We would lots rather listen to anothe story than to have Arithmetic, but if w don’t get to work we won’t get our name on the board with a 100 besides ther Wednesday. Arithmetic is easy after all.
I’m glad today is Monday, so we can te what we did during the week-end. I jus know I had the best time. My, we wer so interested that we have only 15 minute left for spelling. If we don’t miss a wor Friday, we will get a Blue Star, and I mus have one. There’s the bell for recess.
We had such fun at recess—playei blind-man’s-buff. Our reading lesson is si interesting today. Why it’s about ele phants. Our book says that when elephan families go walking all the fathers walk ii front, the mothers next, and then the chil dren. Now isn’t that queer? I bet durinf language class 1 can write the best para graph about elephants. There’s the bel for dinner already.
Noon hour passed so quickly. I’m glac it’s afternoon, so we can play with th( things on our opportunity table while the other section has their reading. I hope 1 get to keep the table. We must write oui spelling first, for if we don’t we won’t know the words tomorrow.
It’s time for our reading and I’m so glad. The name of our story for tomorrow is “Thanksgiving Day.” You know those Pilgrims must have been queer looking people. I wish I could see one of them.
Gee, but I do believe that is the bell for school to be out. I wish tomorrow would hurry, so I could read the rest of that story. We had fun at school today, didn’t we?
SECOND GRADE.
If You Want Your Ford to Cadillac try “The Little Red Garage on the Corner.”
We can stop the old Chevrolet from grumbling; all other from knocking—by our quick and efficient service. Never pay $20.00 to $30.00 to have brakes relined when we can do it for less than half.
