LITERARY EXERCISES
To instil in the hearts of boys and girls a love for good literature
is to give them a never ending source of happiness throughout life.
Children can be interested in books by hearing stories read, by
retelling them, and by reading them. The story of the author's life
may add interest to the author's work. Much can be done in morning
exercises to start children on the road to good reading. The more work
children do themselves the more interested they will be. Following are
suggestive literary programs:
=Robert Louis Stevenson=
Bible Reading by pupils--Philippians IV, 4-8
Stevenson's Prayer for a Day's Work, Recitation by pupil

DRAMATIC EXERCISES
When children are truly interested in reading, the natural outlet
for the emotions aroused is dramatic action. Let different classes
be responsible for dramatizing stories from their history or reading
lessons and present the results in the morning exercises. The educative
and socializing value to the class presenting the exercise is almost
invaluable. Dramatizing the story makes an interesting incentive for
a number of language lessons; rehearsing the play provides for much
practice in oral expression; and producing the play before an audience
gives valuable training in leadership, self confidence and poise.
ART APPRECIATION
We do not expect many of the school children to become artists, but
all can learn to appreciate and tastefully select the beautiful
in pictures, personal dress, home furnishing and decoration, and
architecture. It has been truly said, "Though we travel the world over
to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."
