Have you ever seen the snow at night? It has five little points like the stars
That are shining in the f-ky so bright. And the moon that shines all night long, Shows the way to the ground for the little throng When bright and sparkling down they come. 1 try to catch them one by one, But, alas, all night long I tried. And by the time 1 caught them, they were all dried. When in the morning I look at the snow, It, seems as if the ground had been sprinkled With the beautiful stars that in the night shone so. And the snow greeted me so that I thought it would say: "We are the little snow fairies eorne to Visit you today!" Jean Kcever, San Juan, Porto Rico.
VAILE TEACHERS RECEIVE FLOWERS
Wednesday morning a package arrived at Vaile addressed to "The Teachers of Vaile." Inside w as a beautiful cyclamen plant which had pretty pink blossoms. On a little card was written "From Mary Ellen and William Page." Each day a different teacher is to have the plant in her room. Thelma to Move Away Thelma Fielder, one of the pupils of Vaile, is going to move to , St. Louis. We will miss her very much
and hope she will come back to see us in the summer. Many Children Graduate This term 21 pupils left Vaile to go to Garfield, Several new children have also entered Vaile, especially in the kindergarten. Schools Enjoy Concert The fourth, fifth and sixth grades of Vaile, Finley, and H i b b e r d schools enjoyed the children's concert given by the High school orchestra Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Maddy had each different kind of instrument played, so that the children would know what it sounds like. They were especially interested in the new harp. It made them feel like beating tinie, its rhythm was so perfect. Edith Webb, reporter for Vaile school.

ST, ANDREW'S FIRST GRADE LEARING TO SPELL WITH GAMES
Each child in the first grade has an apple drawn on the board. The appels are divided in, blocks and every day they keep silence one of the blocks is colored. The child who gets his apple colored first will get a prize. Last week this same room played a spelling game or "Pussy wants a corner." Each desk was a corner and one child had to get out in (Continued on Page Four)
FRANCIS DOAN HOLE HEARS PADEREWSKI PLAY AT THE MEMORIAL HALL IN DAYTON
The Memorial Hall in Dayton, in which Paderewski played, is a big, plain building, made of stone of a dull color, a littlte like the Dickinson Trust building. It has very many steps in front. They are so wide from one side to the other and there aro so many, that about three schools as big as Joseph Moore could be walking up them together. There are big columns at the top of the steps and a kind of porch. Inside it is plain looking. The big stage had nothing on it
Grouhd-Hog Day .By William Dudley Foulke Out from his burrow in the ground . Softly (you cannot hear the sound) The woodchuck comes, so people say, . On February's second day. And then he looks around with care To see if his own shadow's there Lying beside him on the snow. And3 if it is, back will he go; And six weeks more he will abide In the warm hole where he doth hide. What makes the tiny creature run Seeing his shadow in the sun? lie knows that Avintcr should not bring Too soon the promise of the spring, lie will not let the sunshine's smile His prudent little soul beguile, But burrows deep to keep him warm From icy blast and wintry storm. tSo, children, if you seek to roam Too early from your, cozy home, Look for the shadow at your side, And if you see it, run and hide. You'd better not come out to stay Until your childhood melts away.
Hon. William Dudley Foulke started recently on a trip around the world. The true friend of the children of Richmond that he is, he did not leave you unreniembered. This lovely little poem he sent to you. At this moment he no doubt is passing little Japanese kiddies by the score and thinking of you, wondering if you have liked his message to you. Indeed, we all do like it. and send him our thanks and wish him a pleasant. voyage.
Howdv, Mr. Groundhog!

but a big grand piano. The name of it was Stein way. That is th kind Paderewski likes to play. He sat on a . very low upholstered chair that was not a bit like a piano chir. The Flowers The back of the stage was painted to look like a flower garden. I think it was to go with the pieces he played, but I am not sure. Some persons sent up a basket of roses to Paderewski when he had finished a certain piece
they liked. It sat in' front of the piano awhile in the middle of the stage. Then another person had it moved so people could see how his feet worked on the pedals. The Way He Looks It is strange how this man fixes his hair. It is pompadored from the front and bobbed in the back. It looks the way his latest picture does. He had his eyes half shut when he played. -The Playing When he fjrst came out so we could see him all the people stood up to show him that they were glad to have him in Dayton. Some of his playing was soft and some , very loud. There were many rests in between different movements.
Some of the pieces were slow and some fast. , The people were very still while he played. The Music I can tell you who wrote what he played. They are persons who are the greatest music writers in the world. , He had five parts in the . program. The first part was made up by Mendelsohn and began with heavy striking. Then he played pieces by Schuman. Beethoven was the man who wrote the next pieces. Chopin and Liszt were the names of the men who made up the pieces for the last two parts of the program. I liked the . Hungarian Rhapsody, which was the very last piece. He intended it to be the last. The people made him come back and play so many times after it, that he got tired, but he came anyway. The Flags I forgot to say that a United States flag and a Polish flag were pinned to the curtain in front. Francis Doan Hole, reporter for Joseph Moore.
