To Open
Nursery School
Here on April 20
Mrs. Ruth McCrary plans to
open a Nursery School at her
home in Bowie next Monday,
April 20th.
As a preliminary to the open-
ing of the school, mothers of
this territory who are prospec-
tive customers for this nur-
sery school have been invited
to an open house and tea at
the home of Mrs. McCrary at
408 Elba on Friday afternoon
of this week at two o’clock. A
sister of Mrs McCrary, Mrs.
John Spaulding of Wichita Falls,
a well known child psycholo-
gist and writer for magazines,
will talk on the aims and pur
poses of a nursery school.
The mothers attending the
open house and tea will be
asked to help set the price to
be charged for the school.
The school will be for child-
ren between the ages of 2% to
5 years and wilt include a
morning program of outdoor
and indoor play with the educa-
tional play equipment and ma-
terials. Stories, music, simple
rhythms, creative art, rest and
toilet periods are a part of the
morning. Each day the children
will have a morning inspection
to keep the group free from
infectious or contagious diseas-
es. The children likewise will be
given many extended and vital-
ized experiences within the age
level.
Psychologists say that the
whole behavior pattern of a
child’s life is laid in the early
impressionable years. For this
reason it is important that chil-
dren at a very early age learn
the give and take of social life
by being together in a group,
outside their own family circle.
Nursery Schools were designed
for this purpose. In a Nursery
School the morning program is

Take care of your trees they
are worth money. One of the best
nurserymen and authorities on
pecans in Texas says a paper shell
pecan tree is worth a minimum
of $8.50 per inch 'diameter. A tree
ten inches (diameter) through the
trunk would therefore be worth
j at least $85. Good spacing permits
112 trees to the acre.
