THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL 21 3-B3 Columbus V Once in sunny Italy a boy was born. His name was Christopher Columbus. His father was poor and sent him to school until he was twelve years old. Then his father told Columbus to work for him, but Columbus did not like this for he wanted to be a sailor. Finally, he became a great sailor. In his days, the people thought the world was Hat, but Columbus thought the world was round. I-Ie begged the king and queen of Spain for money and some vessels. The queen took Colum- bus to the place where the ships were. Out of all the ships he picked three. The names of these ships were, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Columbus, wanted to go to India. It was a long trip. Finally they reached land. Red men with long black hair came down the beach to meet them. Columbus thought this was India, but finally he discovered that this was America. And from this we celebrate the day he discovered America. MILTON FRIEDMAN, Santa Claus Last year my mother told me if I would be a good liiby, and do my home- work every night she would ask Santa Claus to send me something for Christ- mas. I did everything she told me, and on the night before Christmas I hung up my stockings. The next morning I looked in my stockings and found toys in them. A This year I will try to do the same.

S. 23 The study of drawing includes all the branches growing out from it, as freehand drawing, color theory, design, composition, lettering, paper cutting and pasting and all sorts of handwork seems to be especially suitable to the development or unfolding of a definite plan. The children of P. S. 23 take a great interest in this subject. Through all these mediums the child is enlarging his knowledge and expe- rience of things about him that had perhaps been heretofore unobserved. His taste and judgement are being developed and his standards are being raised. GENEVIEVE C. DREW.

- , Q:---www . , 1 W -6 X 4 THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL 23 Self-Help Classes For the purpose of reducing the number of C pupils in grades 6B-SB, Mr. W'estphal has introduced a system of pupil-teaching which has helped ma- terially and yet has added no burden to the teacher. The C pupils are formed in classes which meet regularly on given days at stated hours. Those teachers who usually remain for half an houra or longer after three o'clock, two or three days a week, select that time. Then those teachers who always come early arrange to have the children meet them as they come in. A regular schedule is made out as, for example, 8B4: Mon.-8 :OO-8 140-Arith. Tues-8 100-8 :4-O-Arith. W'ed.-8 100-8 :40-Geog. Thurs.-8 100-8 240-Gram. F ri.-8 :00-8 :40-Gram. The pupil-teachers are chosen from the brightest in the class. Usually from two to six are selected, according to the number of C pupils, The children arrange themselves in groups at the board, one pupil-teacher for each group of two or three. They go to work im- mediately, leaving the teacher free to write up her plan or any other clerical work she may have to do. The follow- ing reports testify to the success of the plan: 6Bl-Pupil-Teachers--Joseph Wollif, Abraham Rozner, Simon Levine, Irving Liebowitz, David Greenwald. Time-Tues., Wed., 3 100-3130.
