Miss iloagland'.s classes are be
ginning tho Hccond semester with
work, onthusiasni. and interest, Each
of the girls is to teach a class In

to "make-believe" that their education
claims is a .irninimar or hi>;h schuol
class. Much fini unil merriment is
caused by llie necessity nf ihla "make-
believe." Sometimes the children write
notea, talk back to the teacher, do not
do their work, and whisper. A few
