Four THE DEMOCRAT- -AMERICAN THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1932 LIBERTY SCHOOL SECTION (Continued From Page 3) ing, but hardly up to standard while the reading score was two points above. Bobbie Hines won first place in the County-wide arithmetic contest in the first contest and Shannon Wheeler won second in the second contest. Helen Welch won first place in the spelling contest. The fifth grade has worked out a very good project in their study of Africa. They built a jungle using the sandtable to grow their plants.

Harrel Burns contributed by building a jungle house and covered it with straw. This is very much like the homes in a real jungle. All the pupils contributed by bringing toy animals and plants for the jungle. While this study was in progress, the picture, "Trader Horn" came to the local theatre and Mrs. Garrett, who is the geography teacher, took the class to see this picture.

All agreed it was very helpful in their study of Africa. The fifth grade has helped a great deal in our lunch room project. They not enly helped in serving, but made health posters and hemmed tea towels for the lunch room. 'The spelling in this grade has been very interesting by the use of the spelling "airport" whicn gave each pupil with an average of a right to stay in the air. Our English class kept a class diary listing all interesting events.

Practically every one has read 8 story books as outside reading. As books were finished a minature book was made and pasted on a chart by each child's name to show progress. The following is a list of officers of the Citizenship Club of the fifth grade: President, Bobbie Hines; Vice Prestdent, Harrell Burns; Secretary, Bernie Cheek. Second grade: President, Shannon Wheeler; Vice President, Carl Frix; I Secretary, Arnold Maggard. Third grade: President, Helen Welch Vice President, Anna Doris Williams; Secretary, Helen Walters.

All can read syllables and have done quite a bit of two-part sit ring. Emle Black and Vera Rosson placed first in the County spelling contests while Calvin Remy placed second and Wayne Watts placed first in the County Arithmetic tests. Perhaps geography is to this class as to some other classes but I think one little boy expressed the class sentiments when he said, "I shore learned lots of geography. I didn't mow nothing at all hardly about the world until I studied it." The grade ranked standard in the Standard reading tests given In the early fall and ranked five points above standard in the spring testa. We have had a spelling airport where all planes "stayed up" as long their owner maintained an average of Needless to say nearly every plane has stayed in the air all the time.

We rated above standard in the spelling tests. In an art contest Calvin Remy won Skeezix Tooth Brush Holder and a Prophylactic Tooth Brush for having the best picture. The 4Y selected these pupils for their "Who's Most popular boy, Wayne Watts; Girl, Mary Jo Hines. Most Studious boy, Calvin Remy; Girl, Nadine Lillard.

In the fall the class was below average but the spring tests were exactly standard. In art class the pupils learned the primary and binary colors and how to combine their paints for different I shades desired.

The room was seasonably decorated. Edward Tapley won an award of a Skeezix Tooth Brush Holder and paste for painting a picture the best. Mrs. Wilson has had charge of the Citizenship club. Pupils took their turn as acting as officers.

It was the aim of this club to teach such character traits as, Courtesy, Obedience, Reverence, Sportsmanship, Friendliness and Patriotism. Fourth grade geography has been progressing nicely. The class has made a thorough study of the a desert tribe, and the Eskimos, the people of the cold regions. Learning to read maps and the states and capitals, name the location of surface features in North America has been mastered by most of the group. Spelling and arithmetic shall not be ignored in this issue.

"Third Grade" The third grade this year has done some wonderful work in reading. After having read three readers, they are able to out-line stories, ask thought questions and dramatize any story. They have 8 "Reading Table" that consists of fifty books. These books are Fairy Tales, Nature Stories, Bird Books, etc. Nearly every pupil has read every book on the table.

In arithmetic they have some "Speed Kings." They can do the four fundamentals nicely, besides multiply by two numbers, and doing long division. They also have picture study. They have learned the names of several artists, and are able to name some noted pictures. Each month they do water -color drawings and decorate their room. Christmas they had real Christmas tree, and a real Santa to visit them.

Their "Circus when finished will be an added attraction to the third grade. The big tent, animal cages, band wagons, clowns, and mals are an being made by the children. The following people have not missed a word in Spelling since school began: Watie Moore, Amanda Spaniard. Paul Fine, Eugene Walters, Lens Moser, James Dixon, Pay Gibbins, and Jessie Fay Slater.

In the second grade this year we have enrolled 33 boys and 26 girls. James Byrd, Le Roy Harrison, Junior James and Melvin Ross have not been absent this year.

We have read 3 readers this year and with two of them used seat work books which, help to develop a keener interest in reading both for pleasure and information. During the period devoted to reading, games, poems, stories, dramatizations and pictures were introduced to harmonize with the selections being read. During our study of Indians we read and discussed the types of Indian dress, thus introducing many new words such as moccasins, beads and skins. Other things of interest in our study of Indians were the making of pottery, and the making of wigwams. Picture study was introduced in the room this year.

Children should be given an acquaintance with fine paintings. They will like them for their color, for their story and for the familiar associations which they evoke. The bulletin board in our room has furnished another opportunity for reading and picture study. The children were allowed to bring any interesting material for our bulletin board. Our library contained many books and other interesting materials which the children have enjoyed throughout the year.

The first grade room has read four readers in class this year. Some of the pupils brought first readers and primers from home for the reading table. These books were issued to the pupils to take home stating that the entire book had been read. A chart for this was made and kept in the room. Several children read fifteen readers and many children read from eight to twelve.

Grace Marie Fears has a record of being neither absent nor tardy for the whole year. These pupils make the highest average in the room for the whole year: Richard Spaniard, Grace Fears, Freda James, Billy Wofford, Edwina Benton, Clara Whitworth, Virginia Walters, Beatrice Smith, Frankie Brodie and Ben Wofford Jr. The total enrollment in the primary grade during the year is 53. 25 boys and 28 girls.

About sixty children belonged to this band. Amos Hawkins was the leader. gave very creditable performances 011 several occasions. The children in the primary room have learned approximately thirty songs during the year. RID PASTURE OF WEEDS A great many of our pastures in Sequoyah County are being ruined by lack of proper care.

according to C. G. Bauman. Co. Agent.

The thing I am talking about right now is weed control. Nearly every pasture in the County is filled with dog fennel, careless weeds, horse weed, thistle, nettles and others. Weeds furnish no pasture, they take moisture and plant food from the grasses and clovers, which would grow in their place and many of these weeds can be killed or eradicated in a single seasons time if the farmer will prevent them from going to seed. Nearly all of them can be gotten rid of in two or three years. Every farmer should take time to mow his pasture before weeds g0 to seed.

A couple times if necessary. It would pay big in the extra carrying power of his pasture and would also improve the quality of any dairy products which he might be producing from the pasture. The fence rows should be cleaned of weeds at least once or twice during the year. Pence rows can quickly contaminate a clean field. It is said that in Europe no weeds of any kind are ever allowed to go to seed in any place.

Sequoyah County farmers could well af ord to try the same practice. PIE SUPPER AT BALDRIDGE A pie supper will be held Friday night, June 3 for the benefit of the base ball team.
