SCRAPBOOK PLAN URGED FOR PUPILS Mrs. Hunter Wants School Chitdren to Compile Capital Data. The advantages and attractions of “Washington, the Federal City,” would be laid before all school children of the country through use of scrap- books, to be compiled by the children themselves, under a plan which is to De presented next week at Dallas, Tex., during a meeting of the depart- ment of superintendence of the Na- tional Educational Association. The idea will be demonstrated by * Mrs. Isabel Sewall Hunter, teacher of art at Friends' School here and founder of the Sewall-Hunter School of Art in Education. Mrs. Hunter has arranged for an exhibit in the great automobile and manufacturers’ build- ing at Fair Park, Dallas, where the exhibitions shown in connection with the National Educational Association sessions will be held this year. In her booth in this hall, under the name of the Sewall-Hunter School of Art in Education, Mrs. Hunter will have 12 scrapbooks which she has aompiled as samples of what can be done for the child in correlating in artistic form interesting material from magazines and newspapers which otherwise would not be so saved and Three of the scrapbooks They give practical demonstration of the successful achievement of this store's policy—of insuring quality ex- cellence—even at moderate prices. If you find it offered here—you can depend upon it giving satisfaction to the Limit of what We'll be will present ‘“Washington, the Federal City,"” and the school teachers will be urged to introduce the idea into the schools of the country, with a view to interesting and instructing the child in its own National Capital. Her three scrapbooks on the Capital include material of wide variety, such as clippings from magazines and news- papers, cartoons, original drawings and essays by pupils, all arranged un- der a series of headings. Mrs. Hunter will also present as material for the scrapbooks a series of 21 articles on Washington written by Mrs. Alice C. Torbert of Georgetown, author of the Georgetown pageant. The American Civic Association, with headquarters here, is forwarding the idea of a scrapbook of Washington and has appointed a committee of 600 persons throughout the country which it has asked to enlist the co- operation of teachers. The committee on the Federal City has been urged to take this year the theme of the February ~ 22 ebration *‘George Washington's Vision of the Federal City on the Potomac.™ From Homes in Willjamsport.
