In the Spring, we trim our own summer hats and almost all the little girls’ hats. We are allowed to select the hat we want and also our trimming. It is a lot of fun selecting our own trimmings and then trimming the hat the way we want it.
I am certainly glad that I have the opportunity to take sewing and will never regret having taken it.

Lodge No. 17.
“Good morning, Mr. Shufeldt.” The Senior class comes up smiling to English class. “What are we going to do this morning?”
“We are going to write a theme this morning. Mr. Adams wants a certain number of short articles each week for the Weekly and the Moose-heart Magazine, and we have got to get busy.”
Mr. Shufeldt proceeds to pass theme paper around and the once brightly smiling faces of the Seniors lose their smiles and assume a look of abject despair.
“Oh, how we like to write themes! Now, Mr. Shufeldt, we thought you were going to let us read that book we started on yesterday, and we were all expatiating on the joys of being an (Continued on page 28)

them that that book would be too deep for them to understand. I put the book back in its place and help them to find a book suitable for them to read, such as “Our Little Indian Cousin,” “The Mexican Twins” or “A Child’s Verses.”
If I come across a book that is not good literature and trashy, such as Alger’s books, “The Stuff of Dreams” and many others, it is my duty to discard the book from the library and never let it be seen in the hands of the students again while at MOOSEHEART.
I should see that all books are taken out and returned on the date due. If they are not returned within a certain length of time the person who took that book should either replace it with a new one or pay for it.
I suggest to Mrs. Spencer books that I think should be in the library but are not. With the help of Mrs. Spencer I am going to try and organize “reading circles.” They will consist of members who love the art of literature and enjoy reading. There will be several for the younger ones where we will gather in a circle and I will read to them. For the older ones we will take turns in reading one book or a chapter of a book. The book that we read will both be a benefit and a pleasure to us.
The books are catalogued in seven different groups. They are as follows: autobiographys and biography, dramas, poems, travels, history, fiction and juvenile stories. It is very easy for any one to find the hook he wants. If he knows the author of the hook and not the name he can go to the catalogue stand and look under the author’s name, as the cards are arranged in alphabetical order. He can then go to the shelves and find his book. The books are also arranged in alphabetical order as in a public library.
MOOSEHEART library is very large now, there are over three thousand books. In a few years we intend to have it much larger. I hope that all those who read books from it will find it a pleasure.

The Public Work Line
By Della Mae Chrystal, Mobile (Ala.)
Lodge No. 231.
The only system of punishment at MOOSEHEART is the “public work line,” the “fourteen, twenty-eight line,” and demerit marks.
When a student has collected five demerit marks for different little misdemeanors, Tie is immediately put on the public work line. This means he is deprived of all privileges enjoyed by his brother students. He is deprived of these for the period of time he is on the “line.” He is neither allowed the pleasure of dances or the movies. He is not allowed permits for Aurora, Batavia or any nearby city, for fishing, trapping, or to visit any other hall. In summer he is deprived of swimming, canoeing or any pleasure that comes to us. As winter comes he looses his skating privileges, a sport which is greatly enjoyed by all students.
Most boys, after getting on the line once try to avoid getting on again; but there are a few who do not try to keep off and get on constantly. After they have been on several times the Student Council gives them fourteen or twenty-eight days to serve. That means they are deprived of all privileges.
It is not only the punishment that the boys dread, it is also the disgrace which comes to a person when they have done something wrong; also to have to walk around the grounds and have the other students criticize them is more than some of them can bear.
If a boy has been on the “line” two or three weeks continually and continues to get demerit marks, he has to stay on the line until he goes a week without any demerits at all, then he may be parolled. If during the time he is parolled he has to report any demerits and go on again,'he goes on until his term expires.
So, as some people say, “It pays to be good.”
By Coral Ridley, Cleveland (Ohio) Lodge No. 63.
There are a few important things that every woman should know and one of these things is sewing.
I have been taking sewing for three years, and I find there are many things I have to learn before I can complete my course. Almost every day, in sewing class, I learn something new.
I have had two teachers since I began taking sewing. One was Miss Cosgrave who left MOOSEHEART after I had been taking sewing for about a year and a half. The other teacher is Miss Sivyer who took Miss Cosgrave’s place. They are both experienced women and have taught us many useful things along the line of sewing.
When I first began sewing I knew hardly anything about it, but now I make almost all my own clothes. When we haven’t anything to make for ourselves, we make clothes for the younger and older girls who are not in the sewing class.
The first things we are taught in sewing are basting, hemming and making plain clothes. Later, we begin making more difficult things, such as dresses, middy skirts, and some colored middies.
We are taught how to clean and press our own clothes.
It is a very hard thing to learn how to use the different parts of the machine, such as using the hemmer, gatherer and all the other parts of the machine. We clean the machines and learn how to take care of them.
The Chemistry Class
By Jerome B. Tholen, Aurora (111.)
Lodge No. 400.
Up in the top of the school building is the laboratory. This is where the chemistry classes are held. (I should say “chemistry class,” because there is only one regular class.) One of the boys is taking a special eourse, however, to fit himself for the medical profession.
The instructor in chemistry is Mr. Anderson. The books used are McPherson’s and Henderson’s, which are of the best. Everything at MOOSEHEART is of the best that can be found.
Two forty-minute periods are allowed for this class daily. The first two days of the week are used for experimental work and the last three for recitations and study.
The present chemistry class is coming along fine and will get through easily by the end of the term. There are nine students, all Juniors, in this class.
The Library
By Luena Ames, Denver (Colo.) Lodge No. 21.
My vocational ■assignment is the library. My work consists of cataloging the books and keeping them in proper order. When classes come to me it is my duty to see that the children are given books that are fit to be read.
■ For instance, when a little boy or girl in the third or fourth grade comes to me with a book to be issued such as Hawthorne’s works or Shakespeare’s plays, it is my duty to tell
