Among the Schools

New Sutherland

The New Sutherland School has added much improvement for this year. All desks have been varnished and all stoves repaired and painted. New pencil sharpeners, window shades for two rooms have been added. Fire extinguishers, song books, victrola and records, seven new maps, and waste baskets have recently been added. They have bought and made or remodeled the following to the playgrounds: Tennis courts, chinning bar, playground ball, bat, basket ball. The trustees put a new top on the water tank. They bought a new flag pole and several nice pictures for all the rooms. They are beautiful pictures and are in nice frames.

Miss Christine Chamrad’s room was working out an Indian project. They were constructing Indian posters and costumes and this work will materialize in an Indian play. Her room was decorated with posters, nice pictures and pot plants.

The primary room, under Mrs. J. M. Ammons was a very interesting place. The room was decorated with two pictures, “The Song of Happiness” and “The Dutch Children.” Nice flower bowls with cacti, bulbs and other plants decorated the windows. Mrs. Ammons has bought six ten cent attractive story and picture books from Kress. The children are taking a great interest in the books.

The first six weeks of school term were spent on a unit of work, “The Circus.” This included much dramatization and limitation of the different circus animals and people. Number work developed through counting balloons, horses’ feet, buttons on clowns’ suit, etc. Construction work introduced by making circus tents, cages for animals, wagons, etc. Many animal stories were read and discussed.

The second six weeks they worked on Mother Goose characters. Mother Goose jingles were memorized and acted. They also practiced singing several of the rhymes which the children did with great joy.

The third six weeks were devoted to a Thanksgiving Program, which, of course will center around the Puritans and Indian lives, their homes, and food.

This room has a wonderful health program. They have a great number of health posters which have created much interest and enthusiasm as well as helping the little tots to form right health habits.

Hand washing and a supervised lunch is a part of an every day program. They brought a mirror and have it hung low for the small children to see when their faces are dirty or their hair needs to be combed.

The primary is well equipped. The New Sutherland trustees are good about seeing to the needs of the school. They bought a printing press, hecktograph, construction paper, beads for stringing, colored sticks, molding clay, dominoes, work books, etc. They also gave the primary room a reading table and six small chairs.

Mrs. J. M. Ammons was doing what I call real teaching in the primary room. Everything was play, no work to the children. It was a real pleasure to visit such a room and see the enthusiasm the children had for their work. We all should make our school work seem more like play.
