MARCH 9, 1928.

NOW WE ARE SIX; SCHOOL OATS BEGIN Reporter Becomes a First Grade Gir! Again to See What’s What. Miss Helen Ashcraft,. Times school editor, is going through school again, from the first grade to the end of high school, in twelve days. The nimble student will be promoted a grade a day. She is doing this to give Indianapolis parents intimate pictures of what their children do during the long school hours when they are away from home. The story of her adventures will be printed—a grade at a time—on the Times School page each Friday for twelve weeks. This Is the storv of the first grade: BY HELEN ASHCRAFT The IB pupils of the William A. Bell School, 3300 N. Pennsylvania St., are about the best-mannered group of any I have ever seen. One experence entering school for the . first time is enough to impress the feelings of the Ugly Duckling into your system and to make you tremble to enter the next primary. But the minute I heard Tommy Edon in Miss Helen Emick’s IB room get up ,put his knee in the chair and read “pupple, oranch. plue,” I decided I shouldn't worry if I did something a bit incorrect if I could do it as cutely. Also, I was at a slight disadvantage because cf my unfamiliarity with the pretty things in the room, including Miss Emick, who wore a lovely spring green frock. I looked around o.uite a bit and must have displeased the teacher by taking no part in the “Good Morning” song or the prayer or Bible reading. I do recall that Hamilton Forbes held a silk flag up front while we all sang “America.” Kites and YVe.n Beds Then we all pulled our chairs in a semi-circle before the teacher (while I longed to stand instead of draping myself over such a small seat) and told about kites and discussed the misery of a small boy when the wind blew his hat off. I gathered that the children were planning for a Hobby Fair, because they talked about making things for it. We all laughed when Jimmy Leetes said his*gun was finished, all but the trigger! Anyone knows that a gun isn't worth anything without a trigger. It struck me how interested they all were in airplanes. Even the girls were making them. At last we got down to business and began chanting: “Draw the goat. Color the goat brown. Draw the boy. Color the boy what you choose.” Promoted to 1 A Then they counted the rows to see who would take up the books and left me out. I didn't even get to take part in the game of seeing who could read quickest—but passed it up like any little girl by pretending to be bored with so much talk of the “wee wee woman” blowing out a “wee wee candle" and crawling into a “wee wee bed.” I was promoted to the 1A a little

SHORTRIDGE DEBATERS TO MEET TERRE HAUTE McNary-Haugen Bill Subject for Argument. The girls’ debating team of Shortridge High School were to meet the girl debators of the Wiley High School, Terre Haute, today at 3:15 p. m. in Caleb Mills Hall. The subject is: “Resolved that the McNary-Haugen Farm Relief Bill should be adopted ” The home team’ composed of Clementine Casmire, Eva Marie Simpson, and Ruth Marie Price, captain, will take the affirmative. Celeste Jordan is alternate. Members of the Wiley team are: Opal Wyeth, Kathleen Flinn, Sarah Brodsky, and Sarah Jane Marback. early because of my previous experience in first grade. Our teacher was Miss Anna E. Ott. In this room they divide the children into three groups, the Orioles, the Canaries and the Robins according to whether you can sing, can sing a little, or can’t sing at all. After we all went into the hall and drank milk out of pint bottles and ate graham crackers. We felt more energetic for the writing lesson that followed. Put Two Little Hats On Miss Ott told us to practice making circles in the air before we wrote. She made the fatal mistake of saying “round and round like a rare track,” and we all made a terrible whirr of arms in the air and had to be called down. Later, I visited my 1-B friends again. They seemed like babies to me after being in the higher grade. Miss Veda Miller, supervising teacher, was instructing them to write words on the black board, and saying: “Up to the blue line—down—almost up to the red line—down—up again—down—way up to the red line and around —up to the blue line and down—put two little hats on and a dot.” Os course I guessed at once that the word was “little.” It was almost 12 and time to be dismissed. I was glad of that, for the best was yet to come. Miss Emick made us hide our faces in her hands and we guessed the names of our classmates who came to tell us good-by.

Taylor declares passage of the resolution will cripple or drive out of business the manufacturers of the United States upon whom the War Department must rely for most of it's necessary supplies in case of war. “This bill contemplates no international agreement; it stultifies America alone,” Taylor said. “It does not prevent war, but merely turns over American business to German, British and other manuiacturers.” Called Peace Move The joint resolution, which was haled by members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee as the most constructive legislation toward world peace ever prepared, provides that whenever the President recognizes the existence of war between foreign nations by making the usual proclamation of neutrality, it shall be unlawful except by consent of Congress to export or attempt to expert any arms, munitions or im-
