. H. Aull and Mr. Mooney set
>rth in the morning for a visit to
:hools in the'Pomaria section.
The first stop was at St. PbiUips
id we were greeted by the principal
I the school, Mr. Lominick, who es>rted
u > over the building. It wfcs
.ter than the hour appointed for
jr arrival so we did not attempt any
rcgram, but just went through the
>oms, speaking to the teachers and
Wn wre-ra imnroccoH i
ith the attractiveness of the rooms,
1 of them being adorned with scalable
decorations. .This is a hand- j
fme and up-to-date building with an
ctensive playground around it. #
On account of the inclcment weaer
they had not put up the flag \
frich the American Legion had prented
them the preceding Tuesday,
"e found this to be the case at the
'J
her schools we visited and consider 4
at this was more respectful than to
ave the flag exposed to the bad
eather.
The next- school we visited was
>rk, within walking distance of St.
lillips, and though the outside prented
a rather ' dilapidated appearlce,
the inside was cozy and cheery,
ith eleven little tots keeping per^t
order, their instructor being
rs. Sligh. Mr. Auil has recommend,
th:t this school be made a part of
. Phillips, which ccitainly seems a
so suggestion. Miss Berrie gave
o children an interesting talk.
We arrived at Pomaria high school ^
the recess hour, so just went with
c tcachcrs abound the building. One
.rticular thing, or-things,. which ,aV ;

actea our atceiiuuzi wcic bUC luauj
ndsome pof'plarits which we found
all the room3, ,even the iuditoriii,
which add greatly to the appearice
of any piace. vThe building is
brick construction and is a very
acious and modern high school.
Central was the last school we vis;cl
and we found this to be an ideal
ic-teacher school, just recently finicd.
Everything was so fresh and ;
tractive that we wished wc might
iger. IVliss Wy.ndham, the teacher,
d her walls appropriately adorned
id she also had a shelf with numous
pet plants to brighten the
om. Miss Berrie, with her urual
so, gave' the children a helpful talk
id Mr. Aull made a few remarks.
The genera! use of sand tai:le3 in
2 schools is very commendable and
ey must be a great help to the
achers in impressing historical
ents. All of those we saw were
rv skillfully arranged.
This Was a most interesting trip,
iH if committees who visited other
hoois gained as much from their
sits as at least one of this commite
gained, then Education week will
it have been in vain.
