Helping ‘the
' Backward
Ivy 13. Clark. the teacher of the
special class for backward children
made the following interesting re-
port on its history and work:
“In order to form a nucleus for
a. special class. the teachers of the
Lincoln. Concord. Knudsen. Putnam.
Franklin and Washington schools
were asked to make a list of pupils
'whom they considered backward.
The data concerning these pupils
was carefully considered. A revised
list was made. Names of those who
had not been in school two years
were dropped. Those over twelve
years were not taken at this time.
For one class, there would be too
wide a variety in ages both mental-
ly and physically. The list still had
60 names. Miss Maud Rector. of
Hartford, director of special educa-
tion and standards for Connecticut.
came to Norwelk. advised in form-
ing of the class and tested some of
the pupils. Miss Florence Uhlman
of New Haven was secured to do
testing also. There were 85 chil-
dren tested. or the prepared list
18 are not tested and several names
were added since.
“The next step was to gain the
consent of the parents. 80 the
teachers made home calls and found
in most instances a ready response
on the part of the parents.
Work Began in October
"On October 19 the room was
opened in the Washington school.
As the furniture had not arrived.
only eight pupils were taken in.
These were from Lincoln. Concord.
Putnam and Franklin schools. After
the desks arrived, live more were
added from Washington. two more
from Putnam. one from Lincoln and
one boy who had not. attended school
regularly before. As the class stands
now. there are from:
Putnam school. 4 pupils—1 to
Mansfield. .
Lincoln school. 3 pupils.
Concord school. i pupils.
Franklin school. 2. pupils.
Washington school. 5 pupils--1
girl moved away.
Total, 17 pupils. 2—15. April 1.

‘(ihr-istmss Cheer to Aged.
"At Christmas time the teacher
felt that to do something to make
others hspw. would lining about a
better appreciation of Christmas
spirit to the children. In . looking
over the various fields. [the Home
for the Aged in Norwalk. seemed to
offer a fine opportunity. Permis-
sion was granted by the Superin-
tendent of the Home and the clan
was taken to call at the Home. The
children were introduced to the la-
dics and were show about the
house. The class as a. while
remembered how to shake
hands. _ boys removed caps.
and replied when spoken to. Class
returned to schooiroom and interest
of the children was shown by the
questions they asked about the
Home. They suggested that it would
be nico.to give the ladies in the
Home something for Christmas.
Different things were discussed and
finally the boys decided that they
would cut and paint some bird win-
dow’shdde pulls. The girls thought
that the ladies would like neediy
books for their workbaskets. So
busy day‘s followed making gifts to
take to their friends at home as
well as for the new friends at the
Home for the Aged. The day before
school closed for Christmas hell-
days. the class was again taken to
the Home. This time with gifts
wrapped in‘ tissue paper and tied
with gilt ribbon. One boy imperson-
ated Santa and the children enter:
tained with a little playiet and songs
and: folk dance. Santa gave the
gifts to Miss Bixby. When they left
she gave each an orange and some
Christmas bon-bons. Of course this
was quite unexpected. but very
much appreciated. The whole pro-
tect was quite successful in teaching
the.happiness of doing for others.
. "The girls have done quite a. bit
of woodwork. as well as sewing.
They use these stitches—basting.
running, ovcrhand. hem and blan-
ket stitches. Besides they have done-
a little simple crochet and made
yarn flowers.
"Both boys and girls have made
baskets of raffle and reed: rugs or
doll hammocks on Tyndai looms.

books and posters were made.
