A serious problem today confronts the mother of a city child. Space must be furnished in which he can work off his energy, freedom that he may grow evenlyg de- sirable companionship of children his own age, and the proper material through which he may develop according to the needs of each stage of his development. These, or similar thoughts were mine as I walked slowly down a narrow path flecked with thousands of tiny shadows cast by the leaves of splendid old maples. At the end of the long straight path stood a venerable old stone structure, and as I approached I read on a placard outside the door, Nursery School and Kindergarten. The room into which I entered fairly teemed with wholesome childhood. I accepted a comfortable chair and was left alone to see and think, and I saw and I thought. I saw a little chubby fellow whose mother and father a short time ago moved into that very comfortable, modern apartment house fwithout a nurseryj. A wee little fellow to be sure. But his size or age should not be a ban to his right for an environ- ment which will give him the greatest amount of happiness, and he was not losing a minute of his opportunity. He was deeply interested in a project with a little girl whom I recognized as the little girl without a brother or a sister. She had found her happiness in a Whole room full of little brothers and sisters. Out under the shade of those splendid old maples were more little brothers and sisters all guided and directed in an environment having a three-fold development- Physical-Mental-and Spiritual. In a modern, up-to-date Nursery School and Kindergarten, on Bethany College Campus, which it is the privilege of every one to visit, and as I did see and think for yourself. After your visit I am sure you Will agree that you saw and thought, but that you heard even more. For out from every nook and corner of those two adequate and- spacious rooms you can hear a sweet child voice calling, calling to you- Come play with me, I am the child you used to be Page Thirty-one HlllHHIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN 1 9 2 7 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIHIHHIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHII

Second Row-Louise Schoonover, Mary Ellen Parker, Frances Barnes, Betty Barnes, Mary Jean Haynes, Maxine Foust, Mary Cathryn Bodley. The Primary Grades at Bethany are located in a delightful large, sunny, southeast room on the second floor of Ho1mes'Hal1. The group this past year has been made up of thirteen happy, intelligent little girls who have done highly successful work in their required subjects. The unusual progress of the children has probably been due to two outstanding conditionsg first to the smallness of the groups, which allows for so much individual attention, and again to the fact that the group is made up exclusively of girls. The Primary group has had it's part in all of the All-School festivities and has put on two very creditable programs before the Grade Assembly in Millspaugh Cottage during the past school semester.
