Gladys Wanccn Caroline w. Barbour Irene Torvkfc Blanche L. Barsc This year, more than ever before, the Kindergarten-Primary department has more nearly reached its ideal that of being a highly organized group working as an independent club. The Monday morning group meetings have been carried on in a very business-like manner and various business affairs of the group have been discussed. Because of the strong feeling of friendship which exists between the members of the department, it has been made possible for social welfare work to be successfully done outside of the group. At Christmas time the department did local welfare work in purchasing and dressing dolls which were distributed among the needy children of the city. Birthday Teas arc annual functions of the department. Members of the group arc divided according to the months in which their birthdays occur. Five birthday teas are given during the school year. The last Birthday Tea is automatically the Annual Spring Formal Tea and is the one big social affair of the department during the school year. This year it was held on Saturday afternoon, April 9, in the Kindergarten rooms of the Training School. Owl and Serpent elections this year included two members of the Kindergarten-Primarv department on the list. The group has also made its annual contribution to the McCaskill Friendship Fund. Education is just growing up in the right way. —I)r. F. A. Bonser.
