Other additions to the staff are Miss Nellie Macl.ennan, B. S. Teachers col- lege, Columbia university, who will conduct courses in art in the College and teach some of the art classes in the Children's school. Miss MacLen- nan has had special study in art and art education, and has been unusually successful in stimulating creative work with children. Miss Marian Case, B. A. University of Colorado, will direct the playground activities for the older boys and girls and will assist in the dramatic work of the school. At the request of several parents, the school has added to the afternoon schedule an elective course in religious instruction for boys and girls, begin- ning with the second grade. Other optional classes for the afternoon will be conducted as during the past year-- physical work for boys, rhythm and dancing for girls, piano, French and art. The excursions which have been a part of the afternoon schedule are to be conducted during the morning hours so that all the children may have an opportunity to attend.
