' f When the first graders came to school the first day, everything was new. Some had seen neither their teacher nor their classmates. Some had never been away from their mothers for long periodsg then, all at once, they were in new surroundings, with strange people and with a very different type of life from the one they had lived for the past six years. At school, they were expected to sit still for certain lengths of time, listen attentively part of the time while someone else talked, carry out directions, and do many things they had never done before. However, they have made the adjustment bravely and courageously. They have worked hard at the task of learning their phonics lessons, leaming to read, write, spell simple words, and doing simple number problems. When their mothers came to observe them at work, all were eager to show them how much they had learned and how much they had grown up. TEACHER Mrs. Myrtis Sirman B.

izdf Work in the first and second grades has much to do with our growing into wholesome personalities. During a day 's work, we try to do the things that develop good skills, habits, and attitudes which are of vital importance in helping children to become good citizens of ethical character. We think that every activity is valuable if it serves the basic needs of our pupils. TEACHER Mrs. W.H. Bolton B.S., M. Ed. Sam Houston State .N Teachers' College 113
