Dallas Is Fresh Out of Elephants
But It Has Plenty of Rabbits
Mrs. Antoinette Mason's second
grade class in Dallas Borough grade
school is, en masse, a steady cus-
tomer of the Back Mountain Li-
brary. The second grade is cur-
rently engaged in a spectacular pro-
ject concerning animals, and the
library is besieged with requests
for another book about a screech-
owl, information about the habits of
beavers, and queries as to why the
mamma possum carries the baby
possums, all ten of them, in a
pouch.
The information obtained from
the library and from personal ex-
periences with the individual ani-
mals, is cleared by means of a for-
um in the classroom, with infor-
mation volunteered from all direc-
tions. Eventually the material is
sifted, assayed for gold, and the
nuggets arranged in clearly read-
able form.
And then what happens? The
parents of the second graders have
offered to type the descriptions of
animals and habits for inclusion in
an individual folder with the name
of the specific animal printed on
the outside in large block letters.
Facing the typed story is a picture
illustrating it. Some of the pic-
tures come from the National Geo-
graphic, some from other maga-
zines, but most of them are drawn
from the collection of pictures
which Mrs. Mason has been collect-
ing for years.
One little girl approached Miss
Lathrop, librarian, a few days ago
with a request for an animal book.
Miss Lathrop, fresh out of books
concerning local wild-life, recom-
mended one featuring an elephant,
and was told in no uncertain terms
that elephants did not haunt the
streets of Dallas.
Durelle Scott's folder shows a
beautiful skunk. When it came time
to pro-rate the animals, Durelle was
not vociferous enough in protecting
his interests, so the skunk is his.
Durelle’s advice is not to annoy a
skunk. He has protection.
Joe Peterson’s folder displays a
picture of a rat, a tinted version of
a rodent that bears very little re-
semblence to the common barn-
yard pest. Joey knows exactly what
rats do in the way of damage.
Jef Veitch volunteered informa-
tion on toads, exhibiting a warty
specimen in his folder. Toads, he
stated flatly, do not cause warts,
and people should get over that
outworn notion. Toads are valuable
in the garden. They eat bugs.
Assorted small fry raised their
hands, wigwagging violently in the
interests of the birds and the bees,
a beaver dam, a muskrat, and the
lowly angleworm.
Angleworms admit moisture and
air to the soil, says Lynn McCarty.
You can’t have a good garden with-
out angleworms. And there, curled

A line drawing of a crayfish, with
all parts marked in blue-print fash-
ion, adorns Thomas Kelly's folder.
Thomas finds crayfish under the
stones in a brook when he goes
wading in the summer time.
Lynn Sheehan shows a picture of
an opossum in sad need of a per-
manent wave, the baby possums
clinging to her back for a free ride.
Every child in the second grade
is collaborating on the beaver pro-
ject, pooling information.
On the wall in Mrs, Mason's
room is a large piece of poster
paper with printing on it, easily
read capitals:
We want to see a beaver.
We want to see a beaver dam.
We want to see an aspen tree.
It seems that supervising prin-
cipal Charles James dropped in one
day to speak extemporaneously
about beavers. Aspens, he said,
ranked high in their estimation.
So, a trip to a beaver dam is in
prospect, and if anybody knows
where a quaking aspen can be lo-
cated, the second graders will ap-
preciate the information.
Mrs. Mason's children know what
