Mrs. Hedwig Cosgrove, sixth grade teacher at the Endion
School, submits the following suggestions for carrying on a co=recreation
program and some of the outcomes:

"After learning our dances sufficiently well and deciding
on giving a party and asking a room from another school as our guests, the
question arose, "How are we going to ask them?" When I explained how
many invitations were given over the telephone but how impossible it would
be to phone about thirty-five people and how much nicer written
invitations were, the children became immensely interested and very
enthusiastic about learning how to write one. They were also eager to
know how to write acceptances and regretse

"This is the first time that I have ever had such a wonderful
response in teaching these three required things in our Six A Grade Course
of Study. The boys have always acted so silly in doing this work, Not
only did they learn the wording and spelling of written invitations, but
it was a very good Penmanship lesson. When I told them that arm movement was
absolutely necessary and that I would choose the five best ones to send to
different guests everyone in the room tried his very best.

"They were told in the beginning that this was absolutely
their party, they were all hosts and hostesses, and each of them was
responsible for the pleasure that their guests would have. They planned
on a reception committee and decided what they were to do. An English
period was devoted to writing a "Welcoming Address," and a "Closing
Addresses" The best ones were chosen to be givene

* "Courtesy lessons were given in another English period. This
gave a chance to work on the material which our Citizenship Club has chosen
for this semester. Some of the points that were stressed were how to ask
a girl for a dance; escorting her to her seat after the dance, and thanking
her; how it wasn't the thing to do to allow a girl to cross the floor
unescorted, and,above all, to see that the guests were all enjoying
themselves. Lessons were given on "introductions."
