Kindergarten Project Of Maxton Club Prepares Youngsters For Public Schools a Sei Springs teen MAXTON.—The Maxton Kinder garten, sponsored by the Junior Woman’s Club, is now in its sec ond year of operation at the Com munity Club and is directed by Mrs. J. B. Hord. In the carefully planned cirriculum, emphasis is placed on what the school expects of each child as they enter the first grade. Ten local tots are enrolled in the kindergarten this year with five little students of the group enrolled for the second year. They are Connie Daniel, Diane Ford, Sandra Gilbert, Jane Hasty and Janice Marie Hord. New students this year are Lucille Ruth Sever son, Betty Bracey, Betty Glenn Kirkpatrick, Jay Kirkpatrick and Alex McCallum. The kindergarten operates on a schedule with local schools and is open daily, except Saturday, from nine to twelve. At ten-fifteen a "tea-party” is enjoyed which is one of the highlights of the morn ing for the children. Each child had to present a certificate of vaccin- nations for small pox, diphtheria and whooping cough prior to en rollment, and daily hygiene inspec tions are conducted. Enrollment ages are 3% to six, but this year’s clas is composed of four and five year olds. The kindergarten is self-support ing and the specially-built furni ture, including little desks, chairs, lockers, and easels in light wood, were paid for by the school itself. Attractive playground equipment belongs to the kindergarten and consists of see-saws, horizontal bars, and sand boxes. Maxton Kindergarten, 'the girls and boys freely experiment with scissors, paper, paste, clay, paint, Mrs. Hord uses the “Book House wood, crayons etc. in a construc tive way. Urged to express a va- I riety of ideas the child is taught for Children” as a guide in develop-I to choose his own activities in ing the attitudes and qualities that must be developed in pre-school children for happy, successful ad justment to the new environment of the schoolroom. The group en joys outdoor excursions often, visiting grammar school chapel pro grams, shut-ins, the train, depot and other spots of interest for children. During work periods, emphasis s placed on what the school' ex pects of the child as to counting and numbe rexperience, social .be haviour and adjustment qualities, creative expression, language and literature activities, nature exper iences and social science, music and desirable work habits. Games are enjoyed that teach the child ren to count to ten, and to recog nize the relationship of one num ber to another. The kindergarten play and to be resourceful in use children and. at are taught to be relaxed ease with the group, to practice courtesy, and to exhibit in work and play. Appre- fairness’ ciation of work of others and learnng to lead graciously and to following willingly are also stress ed. Creative expression is popular among pre-school children and at of materials. Colors are recogniz ed by name by use of charts. Retelling stories and poems are part of the day’s schedule at the kindergarten and the group of ten engage in dramatic and imagina tive play. Mrs. Hord helps the children to create stories of their own and teaches them. to speak in complete sentences and to enun ciate clearly. Following directions is another important lesson for the pre-school child to learn. Nature appreciation plays an important role at the Kindergarten and re cently a sand, garden was built, teaching care of flowers and plants. The group often go on nature walks and learn to recognize and speak of the birds, animals, flow ers, trees, etc. The students of the kindergar ten are now much engrossed in plans to present a program at the Maxton Junior Woman’s Club soon and are learning songs, and poems to recite. Music plays an important part in the day’s activities, and the children love to sing simple melodies and to march, skip and hop in rhythmic fashion. Learning Bible verses and prayers is another favorite pasttime.. Another important project at the: kindergarten in the forth-coming “Tom Thumb Wedding” which is being staged by the kindergarten and the Junior Woman’s Club and directed by the teacher, Mrs Hord. Each student has a major role and much interest is being shown. The '“Wedding” will be held atthe high school on Friday, April 29th, and other local children are participat ing as members of the cast. The kindergarten was opened in 1947, sponsored by the education department of the Junior Woman’s Club, of which Mrs. Etta Cash- well was chairman. She was most instrumental in the organization of the kindergarten and was assist ed by other club members. Detailed plans were made by a kindergarten board, composed of representatives of other civic organizations, local churches and members of the school board. Finances are hand led through a special account in the Junior Woman’s Club treasury and bill paid by the club treasur- Red Springs, N.

Roach has been named president of the Lumberton Rotary take office in July Leslie J. Huntley club. He will as successor to who is now Hearing Held In Hamlet On Auto Accident At Easter A Body Glorified If a 'religion were completely' in it understandable, if it had nothing of mystery, nothing of paradox, one would rightly suspect ft of being a man-made fraud. For religion, after all, represents the thin edge where the- divine meets with the human, the infinite with the finite, the eternal with" the temporal. And where you're trying to pour divinity, infinty, and eter- pity into our limited minds, there’s bound to be an incomprehensible overflow. There’s something of that about Easter. Christianity is chiefly con cerned with the spiritual. It speaks of things, that can’e be seen: vir tues and vices, grace and sin; and its main occupation is the saving of a man's soul — which, again, can’t be seen with eyes of the flesh. , And yet here, on Easter, we have one of the greatest festivals of the Christian year concerned, frankly, with a body—a glorified body, to as real, born of be sure, just as woman. but a body just human, as any so degraded, so animal, so sinful, which is our fellowship with the brutes, which is full of corruption and becomes dust and ashes,” as Newman says, “that it could be come celestial and immortal, with out ceasing to be a body!” And Newman is right. Heathen 'thinkers, when they considered the body, always more or less apol ogized for it, and in their specula tion on an afterlife, immortality was always for the soul alone and conditioned on the falling away of the body. Even in our own prayers, how prone we are to bedamn .our bodies as miserable and contemptible, the seat, the cause, and the excuse of all moral evil. And yet, each year, Easter sets us right in our thinking, remind ing us as it does that if through out life, we treat our bodies with the dignity that becomes them as tabernacles of the Holy Ghost, we can hope, each one of us, orre day to rise from tha grav eand stand in glory, body and soul, before the throne of Christ, our Redeemer!
