trips they had taken and reading
stories from charts to me.
The room* in which these child
ren study is a large, light, airy
one, with desks and tables for do
ing hand work. In addition to col
oring and cutting out pictures, the
students work with modeling clay
and “finger paints”, the paint
made of soap and starch. In their
studies, the children learn read
ing, spelling, color combinations,
writing, arithmetic and social liv
ing. A progress report is sent
each period to parents, not with
actual grades, but showing wheth
er the students are progressing
satisfactorily.
There is one little girl in the
class, the remainder are boys.
Once started, they were anxious
to tell me of their trips to the
fire department, where they saw
the fire trucks and stopped and
“had Pepsis on the way back.”
They also told of going to the
home of one of the students to
see his chicks and rabbits, and of
a trip to Prosperity to buy shoes
for some of the students and can
dy for all. Their latest excursion
was to Junior high where they
saw a program “Scotch Duo” put
on by the Carolina Assembly
group. They have been to the
parks to play and have taken a
number of other trips under the
loving care of Mrs. Pugh.
The children have recess at the
same time as other students at
West End school and they all play
together. There is no talk among
the other students of the school
that these children are “differ
ent” because they are in a special
class. They work and play togeth
er with no conflict. Arrangements
are being worked out so that next
year the children will be able to
study music and learn songs in
addition to their other studies.
The children for this special
class in education are recommend
ed by teachers in the elementary
schools of the county and stud
ents come from moet parts of the
county except those too far for
transportation to be provided. The
parents of the students are inter
viewed by Mrs. Julia R. Smith,
