Shall it be on the rocks or on the sands? We are trying to make the corner stone of our foundation that of love. In the study of our Community we found that Dr. Keil built the Colony of Bethel on the principle of the Golden Rule. As long as the Colony had that great leader to keep this rule ever before his people, they were prosperous. In our work and in our play, we find this rule is a wonderful one to follow. Some of the other stones in our foundation are work, play, building a strong body a.nd sound mind, sharing, and using leisure time in the right way. In order to build our foundation we must have tools. What tools? The Tools of Learning must be acquired in the lower grades. ln getting the tools of learning, we learn to know the necessity of work. Work that is done willingly and happily. Pupils who are taking an active part in the Reading Circle work are: Richard Dutton, Judith Ann Smith, Darlene Waite, Helen Bonell, Beverly Smith, Cheryl Simp- son, Kathleen Anne Moore, Patsy Jones, Patricia Sorrell, Elizabeth Gibson and Ronald Ballance. Much leisure time may be spent in reading. Then, the Bird Club of which we are all members, helps us to see the beauty of nature and also gives us pleasant ways to spend many leisure hours. M m
