Thomas The Elementary Training Teachers have planned and are working out the problem of teaching little children to find joy in giv ing. Each child is learning by practice that the best way to be happy is by making oth ers happy. Each grade is doing its bit to help get the Christmas spirit of giving.

The fifth and sixth grade children are mak ing bags, stockings, colored paper boxes, and raffia napkin rings. The children are finding pleasure in mak ing little gifts for someone else.

MISS CROFERT FROM HAMPTON VISITOR AT SPELMA N Miss Crofert, Supervisor of the Depart ment of Elementary Education at Hampton Institute, talked to the Elementary Educa tion girls of Spelman on Friday afternoon, December 3, on “Recent Progress Made in the Field of Elementary Education.” The middle west is the leading section of our country in the movement.

FRA ANGELICA’S ANGELS (Continued from Page One) child. In contrast with this, on the gold frame are the 12 angel musicians, each play ing a different instrument, arranged one above another, five on each side and two leaning toward the center of the oval top. They have doll-like faces, rich coloring and delicate tracery in their garments and orna ments. It was the beginning of the Italian Renaissance of painting, and it has been sug gested that the master was going ahead of his time, practicing modern ideas from the Greeks on the frame of the picture he did for the Flax Workers.

The less important does often excel the more important by a certain originality or charm. Elementary Education Notes
