FAMOUS WELFARE WORKER ; HAD TALENT AS LITTLE GIRL "Mary, won't you preach us a real nice sermon?" begged Mary's younger sister. "If you'll get the audience we'll have Sunday school and church
and I'll do the preaching." The younger girl set off to collect an audience. There were'only five children who could go to the service, so she set up logs for pews in the woodshed and then stood up sticks to represent people. Mrs. Rice stood at the kitchen door and watched the ceremony. "What a shame Mary Isn't a boy; she would make such a good preacher," sighed her mother. In spite of her sex Mary Livermore (1821-1905) became a public speaker, In the Civil war she formed relief societies, enlisted
nurses, went to the front with sup
plies, and was overseer of the sani
tary and hospital work in the North.

The first grade children are still busy on the toy shop I told you of last week. They are making hats and .dresses for dolls. They have rompers made of all kinds of cloth. There are jumper suits also. The hats aro made of velvet with feathers in them. This will be quite an addition to the stock in the
little shop. Boys and Girls Cook The 5A's of Joseph Moore take cooking at Baxter every Thursday except during vacation. We use the time of the morning recess walking over there. Each child chooses a partner to cook with. The girls choose girls, and the boys choose boys. We have stoves to cook on. We cook in the basement in the coking room. We have made so far, cocoa, baked apple, orange salad, apple sauce and potato fluif. The best of all, we made candy last Thursday. Each child has an apron, a wash cloth, a dish rag, a hot handle holder, a drying cloth, two sauce dishes, a glass measuring cup, a plain glass, two teaspoons, a dishpan, and a rinsing pan, a little granite saucepan, two ordinary knives, a fork, a paring knife, a little granite cup and a table spoon. Health Cliss We cook things and the teacher gives us a Health card with Health rules on it. It tells what a person needs to do to be well. They are like cleaning teeth and eating frujt. It tells us to drink so much milk a day and to eat a leaf vegetable at least once a day. We are weighed at least once a month to see whether we are gaining or not. If we are not, we must find out the reason. This is called the Health class. We are also measured to see if we are taller. Janitor's Son Helps Our janitor has a new duty this
week. It , is getting the snow off the steps and the walks. Last fall he mowed the grass. The snowwork takes the place of the gras3 work. He has to keep the house clean and the fire going also. The windows have to be washed some times. The glasses in the dors are dirty often. He washes them. He does not like for a boy or a girl to touch the glass in the doors in passing through them. His son, Sherman Richardson, grade 5A, helps by emptying the waste baskets from all the rooms every evening. There are many other things he does to help his father that I do not "think of now. -A Chalk Picture All across the black board in the
back of the third grade room there is a picture. It is as long as the black board and comes down about two feet from the top. It is done in chalk in different colors. It has white snow' hills. The houses are of different colors. These are on the sides of the hills and have snowy roofs. The green fir trees have snow on their boughs. It all looks so pretty. It reminds me of the winter season. Robinson Crusoe's Home In the third grade of Joseph Moore they are making Robinson Crusoe's home on the island. They have made the wTaIl around his house and two canoes inside it. The wall is made of sticks put in endways like Robinson Crusoe's wall. I think I will tell more about it next week. This Robinson Crusoe's home is in the sand table where the Indian camp used to be that I told about some time ago. Francis Do an Hol5, reporter for Joseph Moore.
