~aining The Harding Elementary Training School serves a two-fold purpose. It provides a modern elementary program for eighty children, and a laboratory where college students may receive teacher training. As elsewhere at Harding, the Bible is taught daily, Sidney Roper being in charge of Bible instruction this year. Besides the regular 3chool program of studies, each child may participate in swimming in the oollege pool, handicraft, woodwork or sewing, a music appreciation class held in Mr. Kirk's studio, a flag raising ceremony out on the college field, and an elementary chorus after school. Special events of the year included "The First Noel," a Christmas play given by the upper grades, and a play given in April by the primary grade children. Also the children above the third grade spent April 7 in an education tour of Little Rock. The fifth and sixth grades wrote and published a class newspaper, "The Monthly Echo," and the seventh and Eighth grades put out a class magazine, "The Inkwell." The eighth grade will give its annual graduation program in the auditorium.
