SAMARA SCHOOL NOTES Since last September the upper Forms have been working on the Dal ton system. This plan gives us much more idea of systematising ourselves than the old method. We have assignments in every subject except Scripture, and also lessons in Languages, Mathematics and Literature each week. The assignments consist of the work we are expected to cover during the month. As each assignment is completed, it is taken to the Mistress who teaches the subject to be corrected and signed. Most of us like the system because it gives us the chance of looking up the subject for ourselves, and because we are free to plan the time we spend on each subject as we please. We are not allowed the next month ' s assignments until the previous month ' s work is complete. At the end of last term a conference was held to discuss the system and it was agreed that in the upper forms the plan was a success. With the exception of two girls, however, Form II are no longer working on the Dalton System. JULIA MacBRIEN, SYLVIA SMELLIE. The Library has started again, with the help of Miss King, and is now divided into two parts, Junior and Senior. We are grateful for several kind contributions of books. Several new books have been bought, as well as a bookcase. The Toy Symphony is again in progress, and the instruments are played thus: — Trumpet B. Fauquier. Quail J. Wilson. Drum L. Irvin. Rattle N. Keefer, Nightingale J- Southam. Triangle Mabel Dunlop. Cuckoo Mary Dunlop. 1

In November Mrs. Buck made arrangements for the Seniors to be taken over the Mint. They were making coppers and weighing twenty -five cent pieces while we were there and we found it extremely interesting. MARY DUNLOP An Art class under the direction of Miss Nichol has been arranged for the pupils who show the most promise. We have been to the National Gallery at the Victoria Museum to study the pictures, and we hope to go sketching in the near future. Mr. Yeigh, of the Save the Children Fund, was kind enough to come to Elmwood to give us a lecture on the work of the Fund in Greece. The lecture, which was short but very interest- ing, was illustrated with lantern slides which showed some of the starving children of Greek refugees. We were glad to be able to send a contribution of $28.00 to the Fund. SYLVIA SMELLIE. On March 30th, General MacBrien very kindly came and gave us a most interesting lecture on the trip he had taken to Japan, and the people and things he had seen there. First he explained the importance of the Pacific and its islands to the nations bordering on it, and especially to Japan. He then showed us some slides of places and buildings in Japan. At the same time he explained the different slides, telling where they had been taken and of the strange and interesting customs of the people. General MacBrien told us something about the religions and beliefs of the Japanese. He showed us several of their beautiful old temples and buildings, and spoke about the Japan- ese army, and of the quickness and efficiency of the soldiers. He also told us about a banquet held in Japan, which he attended, and how the guests were allowed to take away any food they could not eat or anything else they fancied, even to the dishes on the table. The lecture proved altogether most interesting and we all thank General MacBrien very much for coming to us. M. HOUSTON. 2
