THE BIRD HOUSE CONTESTS "Y" BEGINS FEB. 1ST

The birdhouse contest at the V. M. C. A. starts Feb. 1. At least 200 houses are expected to be entered this year. The boys must use their own designs and make their own houses without the aid of any mechanic. The houses may be made at school, at home, or wherever convenient. The contest will close April 2. The contest of last year will be remembered by all of Richmond because of the exhibit of fine work done by the boys. Tracey Evans won both first and second prizes for his houses. The prizes were a fine basketball and a membership jn the "Y." The prize house went to Hibberd school for their yard. Hibberd had the greatest percent of entrants of any of the schools. Junior Boys Hike Friday The school program for the last two days of the week was changed. On Friday there was a vacation and on Saturday the children went to school for their promotion cards and assignments for the next term. This took the time for the regular Saturday gym contests, so for a substitute Perry Wilson arranged a nare and hound chase for Friday. The hares left at 9 o'clock and the hounds left the "Y" at 0:30 o'clock. The date for the Older Coys' County conference hasTTeen set for March 31. It will be held at the local "Y."From 250 to 300 delegates are expected. Last year it was attended by 162 boys from over the county. The conference will last the one Saturday. A worthwhile program is being arranged. Sometime afterward, Xanthus, wishing to give a dinner to some 06 his friends, ordered Aesop to. furnish the finest feast that moneycould buy. The first course Aesop supplied was of tongue cooked in many ways, and the second of tongue and the third and the fourth. Then Xanthus called sharply to Aesfop: "Did I not tell you sirrah, to provide the choicest dainties that money could procure?" "And what excells the tongue?" replied Aesop. "It is the great channel of learning philosophy. Byj this noble organ everything wisej and good is accomplished," The company applauded Aesop's wit, and good humor was restored. "Well," 'said Xanthus to the guests, "pray do me the favor of dining with me again" tomorrow. And if this Is your best," continued I ne, turning to Aesop, "pray tomorrow let us have some of the worst meat you can find." The next day when dinner time rame, the guests were assembled. Great was their astonishnjent and great the anger of Xanthus at finding again nothing but tongue put on the table, "How, sir," said Xanthus, "should tongues be the best of meat one day, and the worst another?" . "What," replied Aesop, "can be worse than the tongue? What wickedness is there -under the snn that it is not a part in? Treasons, violence, injustice, and fraud are debated and resolved upon by the tongue. It is the ruin of empires, of cities, and of private friendships." At another time Xanthus foolislv ly bet with a scholar that he could drink the sea dry. Alarmed he consulted Aesop. "To perform your wager," said

JESOP

Aesop, "you know it is impossible, but I will show you how to evade It." They accordingly met the scholar and went with him and a great number of people to the sea shore, where Aesop had provided a table with several large glasses upon it, and men who stood around with ladles with which to fill the glasses. Xanthus, instructed by Aesop, gravely took his seat at the table. The beholders looked on with astonishment thinking that he must surely have lost his senses. i

"My agreement," said he, turning) to the scholar, "Is to drink up the j

Of Interest to Juniors Miriam Ulrich, a pupil of Miss Elizabeth Kolp, danced a solo dance

before her dancing class Saturday afternoon. She was dressed in a dainty ballet dress trimmed with roses. Miriam's mother taught her this little dance, as It was one which her mother had danced when she was a little girl. Helen Frances Kinert, in a cos tume of yellow and black, danced a dance called "Militaire." ST. ANDREW'S NEWS on friuay aiternoon, Jan. 5, a little class party was given in the first room. The girls brought their dolls, which were all dressed for the occasion. The boys entertained the girls with a delightful playlet entitled "The Three Goats." The party was enjoyed by all the guests who were the children of the first grade. Pupils Busy in Sixth Grade During the last two weeks the sixth room has had a room full of busy pupils. The seventh grade has been having a review of United States history as far as the Revo lutionary war. They also studied Asia until they had acquired a thorough knowledge of that country. The sixth grade made an outline of' history about the explorers. Last week they wrote compositions on the reindeer, one of which will be published in the Junior Palladium. Studying Explorers - The children of the third room are learning about the explorers 'ftd what explorations they made. Each child is given a. slip of paper 'with different explorers' names on it. They pick out any one and tell about what the explorer did without telling his name. Then the other children have to guess who the explorer is that they are telling about. Reporter for St. Andrew's.

LITTLE SECOND GRADE NOTIONS Grown-up people are good. Some children are good and some are bad. Some children ."cuss." Fathers and mothers know more than we do. They teach us how to behave. Father is strong. He works and makes our living. Mother is kind. She makes our clothes and she makes our doll clothes, too. She tells Santa what to brbng us. She tells him whether we have been good. After a while we will be the fathers and mothers, when we grow up. Then we can't play all the time. We will have to make the living. live little girls wish to have holies o? ti'r own; six wish to be nurses and one would "k to. teach. vjum wiuitts inai. sue wouiu jikg- uj be a fairy. Henry will be a dancing master. Ray would like to be a preacher, but he can't be a preacher so long as he uses had language. Five boys wish to be ranchmen; four to become, surgeons. The same number would like to be engineers, while several others would like to be doctors and another group choose to be fire-laddies. Almost all are sure they will never change their minds.

VAILE CHILDREN ENTERTAIN DOLLS WITH NICE PARTY

The children of Miss Haile's room, the second grade of Vaile, are busy working on a plan for the cavemen's home on their sand table. There are mountains, trees, are furious looking animals, and caves with people in them, with a fire burning in front of them to keep away the wild animals. The pupils in this room also gave the play of Hansel and Gretel Friday the 12th. The children had worked this all out themselves and it was very good. Sewing Classes Busy Every Friday morning the sixth grade take sewing lessons under Miss Murphy, who is a lovely teacher. First we made bagstf Chinese cloth; hemmed the two ends and sewed the sides with overhand stitch. Alter that we put on our initials with blue thread in the chain stitch, and then we put in a cord to draw the bag together. Next we made sewing wrappers of either bleached or unbleached cotton. Instead of hemming the sides by hand we used the sewing machine. Then we put our initials in the middle with the outline stitch. Some of the girls who were through sooner than the rest made pretty little aprons of cross bar dimity. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hill Present Calendar Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hill gave Miss Mooney's room the first grade, a beautiful calendar. In the center is a pretty picture of their little daughter, Joanna, holding a pink rose. The children think that it so pretty they have it hanging in the front of the room where they can see it every day. When X , Mooney's room wan down at. Hill's farm a few veeks ago, Mr. Bethard took their picture. It turned out very nicely and so he gave a framed one to the children who were very pleased. Miss Mooney's Room Entertains Miss Mooney's room had a doll day last Thursday afternoon. The girls brought their dolls and trunks and little doll carriages. The boys brought some of their toys too. Miss Mooney had a lovely surprise for the children. Each one had a pretty little paper napkin with a pink border, and a fat little individual cake with white icing and a pink candle in a pink rose bud holder in the center. They also had dear little pink candy dolls. The children thought that it was a fine surprise and it was not long until the little cakes had disappeared.

Figures Cost of World's War At More Than $335,000,000,000 An estimate made in behalf of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace shows that the cost of the world war exceeded 335,000000,000. This amount is equal to the combined wealth of the United States, France, and Great Britain when the war began.
