Children Learn Personal Responsibility in Palatable Manner. “Look, children! Someone let a tack fall on the floor, and Billie has stepped on it!” Thirty tots at the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten, 3509 E. 16th St., gathered around Billie, and gravely examined the sole of his shoe in which a thumb tack lay buried. This pretty young teacher proceeded to explain in a gentle, well modulated voice that somebody’s carelessness was ■ responsible for the tack in BilUe’s shoe, and thirty future citizens learned a lesson in personal responsibility. “Such is the mission of the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten Society,” said Miss Grace L. Brown, the new superintendent, in commenting on the incident. “Our purpose is to create certain habits which will.help the child to fit into society both now and in later years. “What mother, busy with her housework, has the tiqjp to direct the activities of her child throughout the whole morning? What mother can stop her work to see that Junior? puts his toys away, or who has time to play the piano while the little one dances?" At the kindergarten, Miss Brown said, the child’s morning is evenly balanced between work, rest, and play. His work is designed to teach him self direction, and the ability to think and work through a problem; his play to give physical activity and develop musclar coordination; and his rest to relieve nerve tension. “We make each child responsible for something,” she said, as she explained how new “housekeepers” are appointed each week, and the fact announced on a little bulletin board, as follows: Paste and brushes, Shirley Mae, and Marjorie Jean. Rugs, Billy. Room, Louise and Herman. After work each morning, these little housekeepers don rubber \aprons, and with huge sponges In their little hands, proceed to clean the tables and tools used for paste and clay. “The helath of the kindergarten is looked after by a visiting doctor and nurse, who call once a week, or oftener if necessary. “The conflicts which naturally asise among the children are used by I 'these experts in child training to set up standards of social conduct. Thus their social training goes on through association with ,the group itself.” >

Thanksgiving in Prayer

Bj Della L. Lawson A m:ser sat by his fireside, His gold he had counter o’er: It lay In plies around him. And still he craved for more. At last he prayed, his eyes agleam With a thirst for wealth untold, "Lord, I have but a paltry sum— Send me a greater lot of gold.” In a house nearby, a poor man kneeled. His prayer was one of love; "For these—my home, my life, my friends— Tls Thee I thank, O God shove. "Although I have no wealth in gold, I have riches Thou hast sent; I thank Thee, Father, for them all— Their worth can nVer be spent." And now, my friend, are you the one Who only asks for greater fare, Or are you he —the poorest man—- ■ Who thanks God for his share? Chatter at Last Trims Barber / PERTH AMBOY, N.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Pilgrims

By Wylda Duncan Do you remember, my little dhlld. The story of the Pilgrims, dear, With all the things about them wild And their children filled with fear? Os mothers with their white caps on.

With feathers aU so gay; With thankful hearts on these they dined On blest Thanksgiving day. AID STUDENTS GET JOBS Plans for Butler Employment Bureau Are Made.

Articles Made by Company Sold; Workers Are Paid by Hour.

The “company” is composed of sixteen of the upper grade boys and girls who have organized into a corporation of carpenters partly because they want to make money and partly because their instructors have an idea that hand work and head work go together.

painting easels which they sell to their parents, friends and the school. Starting the Production Company was the childrens’ idea. They have elected officers and hold stockholders’ meetings. It isn’t a play company, either. Its articles of corporation are modeled after those required by the Secretary of State. The company officers are Doris Sinclair, president; Florence Gipe, secretary; Bob Failey, treasurer, and Mary Nance Trent and Jack Appel, foremen. The stockholders pay themselves 8 cents per horn’. If the job is “small” they hire outsiders, perhaps the second or third graders to do it for the same wages. At present, the bank balance Is all of $4.44! But the company isn’t worried. All the members have to do is to work harder and sell their products to their parents. “The deeper they get into the hole the harder they are going to

They have also learned the Ford plan of production which they use when they make many articles alike.” NAME YEAR BOOK HEADS Committee Is Appointed at Washington High School.
