In addition to the very impor- tant fact that it then became a part of our college life, it has been the scene of many interesting educational changes. The years 1913 and 1914 are red letter years in its history. In 1913 Miss Elizabeth Daley became principal of the Haines, and under her guidance several great enterprises have grown up in it. In this year the school was organized as an industrial center, when manual training, sewing, and cooking were given an important enough place in the cur- riculum to fit those who could go no farther than the elementary school, for a place in the industrial world. In this same year the open window room was started, a little counti ' y school, really, where tubercular and anaemic children of all ages hold their classes. Breakfast and luncheon are served each day, and every child is supplied with a cot on which to take his nap. The open window room is supported by Cyrus McCormick. The Haines School is also a pioneer in the penny lunch room move- ment. In January, 1914, Miss Daley, with no outside help began this enterprise. A success from the beginning, the lunch room now serves over six thousand lunches every month. The Haines District offers very little in the way of amusement to the small Italians living there, and the little recreation they do have, comes from the big school house on Twenty-third Place. We who have worked there realize that they greatly need to be made happy, for they are little pilgrims, lonesome for their warm, sunny Italy. s Florence Rciiistciii.
