TEE SCHOOL A place where children may come to play with other children whom they ordi- narily do not see. Here they learn the ways of getting along together. With their teacher they go on walks and rides to see the thinge they like to see--the big bus in Monteagle, the grocery store, the well-digger in Buddy's waa, aA Fiala At school they have orange crates and boards to build yheir own "well diggers". They have hammers and nails, c-ayone, paints {mostly made from poke-berries and roots) and clay (which they themselves can dig). The teacher singe with the children, and tells them stories. For some of the children, it is the first time that anyone has” ever told them atories. There are trees to climb, ewings to push, ropes to jump. These things help to build stronger bodies.
