As we did not have one for the cardinal bird, Leo Alpert volunteered to make up one and the following song was the result: The Cardinal bird is red as a rose. He wears his hat wherever he goes. Kindergarten II This kindergarten picture represents the type of activity we have each day. The children respond to various materials placed within their reach, and use them to carry out problems of their own. The chil- dren, as far as possible, purpose, plan, carry out, and judge the result of their problems. The teacher's part is to supply the en- vironment Which will call out the child responses to control the situation without dominating itg also, to raise the standard of the work with any help that may be required.

Much fine literature of ancient days would have been lost to us if the monks had not been writing with pen and ink in their mon- asteries in manuscript form. A The next picture represents the Hrst print- ing press, a movable wooden type, invented by john Gutenberg. We can see how the world has progressed with this machine. The Hrst one invented made only sixty or seventy copies per hour, while the big ones we have now print a million copies a day. PAUL HARRISON, SA5. The Angelus ln the back of our school-room hangs a colorful picture of The Angelus. It was painted by Millet. There are two peasants praying, with their heads bent low. ln back of the woman is a wheelbarrow. A rake stands planted in the ground beside the man. The sun is setting in the background. The picture makes me think of the solitude of evening. VERA GUNNING, 5A4. 1ND1v1DuAL RESEARCH IN OFFICE 460 Page F orty-two
