and blackboard diagrams were next
discussed. Bulletin boards and post
ers must be well-organized and at
tractive in order to have any value.
Bulletin boards may be made inex
pensively by using burlap. Good
student-made posters are hard to get.
(Jood ones should, therefore, be
saved. Charts are very important.
Many companies offer charts free,
while others charge quite a bit. A
teacher without funds can easily
make excellent charts on window
shades. Blackboard diagrams are
good if done in colored chalk.
Field trips are good if they are
organized. Individual gardens, boxes,
and sand tables are also desirable,
'riiere arc many types of collections.
These collections may be placed in
mounting boxes, may be mounted on
corks, may be kept in dry bottles, in
formaldehyde, or may be stuffed.
Apparatus, although usually quite
expensive, is helpful as a visual aid.
Miss Mickey explained and illus
trated the use of microscopes and
slides, slide projectors, picture pro
jectors—still and moving, small and
plain lantern projectors, and m
'liines. Slides may be made on
plain or ground glass. A translex
screen of gelatincd paper is used with
the still picture projector.
Miss Mickey closed by saying
that visual aids are plentiful and
a teachcr can spend on them as
h or as little as she pleases.
QUEER
A few days ago, several girls trip
ped gaily up to the local stock mar
ket to find out just what it was all
about and how it worked. We were
duly instructed as to the meaning of
tlie abbreviations and figures of the
flashes which were chasing each un
adorned other across the screen. Some
s the same ones came back un
altered but usually there was a
change in the fractions of the figures.
This procession of stocks and their
market values interested me, as a
lockrr-on in the game, not so much
in a financial way as in a personal
I could not help thinking that the
almost unintelligible procession be
fore me was like a train of thoughts,
thoughts so powerful that each unit
of its being held the thoughts and ac
tions of thousands of people ir
clutches. Those magnetic units have
'e men hopeful, desolate, philan-
thropicol, and utterly mean and
'cnary. The men who have been
directly affected by these changing,
'ifeless symbols have in turn affected
the lives of shall we say ten as a
minimum number of people ? Queer.
To jump back to 1929 is almost
like going back to days of Babylonian
splendor; to think of the nearly in
comprehensible change that has oc
curred within the last three years is
to believe in unbelievable fairy tales
with unhappy endings. There are
many forces that mould the lives of
men; the stock market is not proper
ly one of them. Queer. It must be
that it is the elements of hope and
curiosity that have made men cling
on, awaiting the next tiny change
before going out to buy a yacht or
to jump in the water that was to float
the yacht.
There’s a peculiar fascination
about those rapidly changing digits.
There is a cruel force behind them,
and yet, if I had the money. I, to(
would be waiting for the next chang(
with my heart in my throat, a moi
tuary notice in one hand and a check
in the other. Queer.

“LETTERS TO WOMEN ’

Au.slander says of his letters: “I

I could tell that lovely little child-

tragedy. Only the irony is old.”
'I'he novel is a study of the shelter
ed life. The lives, thoughts, and
actions of a young girl, a woman, and
•111 old man over a period of nine
years arc woven into a tragic pat
tern by the author. Her characteriza
tions are excellent. Placing the
seine in the small city of Queens-
horough, Virginia, Miss Glasgow
again portrays the life about her—
which is lu‘r own—critically and with
insight into human motive and ac
tion. Her beauty of prose style al
ways makes her novels rich, and this
is ]iarticularly true of the Sheltered
Life, whose value, says one reviewer,
will be even more appreciated ten
years hence.
