Children Learn Lessons of Life Through Little Songs. Once school children learned that Little Red Riding Hood said, “My Goodness, grandmother, what large ears you have!” But then the song writers took it in hand, and it became ’How could Little Red Riding Hood have been so very good and still kept the wolf from the door—at these prices?” The song winters and penny tabloids spoiled the “memory gems" that mothers learned by heart. So today in the Indianapolis public schools, Miss Floro Torrence, who has charge of a group of fortyfive new r teachers in the first four grades, has completed a revised edition of 186 “memory gems” gleaned from among the best used in the past fifty years. Teachers were asked to submit all the “memory gems” they knew. The list was edited and revised by Miss Torrence and sent to ail teachers. Learn Through Rhymes Each morning the room teachers place a “gem” on the blackboard for the children to learn. Such as: The busy bee is small, you see. The ant is little, too. They teach us all, however small. We have some task to do. Or individual children each are given one “gem” to learn. And then at a class exercise, they recite their pieces. One of the favorites is: The world is full of a number of things, I'm sure we all should be happy as kings. Some of the “gems” might well apply to grown-ups as well as children. Here is a good one: Speak the truth. Speak it boldly, never fear. Speak it so that all may hear. In the end it shall appear. Truth Is best in age and youth. Speak the truth. Be Happy Happiness is advocated by: The world's a very happy place Where every child should dance and sing. And always have a smiling face, And never sulk at anything. A slogan to encourage thrift is: Make all you can Save all you can Give all you can. Even profound philosophy is found in: Be not simply good—be good for something. Something for a cute 6-year-old to ieam is: A big black bear stood on a ball: I was afraid that he would fall; But no. he didn’t fall at all, He rolled It all around. I had a ball; I tried to sit And lie and stand on top of it. I couldn't do it, not a bit; I tumbled on the ground. And then there is the rhyme: This world Is not so bad a world As some would like to make it; Though whether good or whether bad, Depends on how we take it. 7 Children Never Absent Seven children of School 68 were neither absent nor tardy during the first semester of the school year, according to Miss. Harriet E. Cook, principal. They were Richard Crickmore, Charles Dyke, Margaret Hofer, Margaret Grimes, Arthur Milne, Charles Milled and Louise Parrish.
