A DAY IN A CAMP KINDERGARTEN Regensibling- 9 a.m. A rather large room of a frame barrack, dim and dusky with only two small windows, serves as qua liters for the kindergarten. The fur nishings consiist of a -big table meant for adults and two ordinary benches. In one corner there is an iron cooking stove with a pipe reaching through the window. In another lie much handled toys. On the wall is a picture of O u t Lady adorned with an embroidered towel and a portrait of Taras Shevchenko, tlhe poet who loved children and could find time and satisfaction in creating- for them. The children are coming- in. There are 14 of them, aged three J and one-ibalf to five and one-half. The group cheers up picking their favorite toys like old comlpamons. Some kids try to craw! up the big bench. Momentarily the teadher callls tlhe children to prayer and they all assemble before the icon of Virgin Mary and say their prayers unisonally. And now to work, all together! The children get slips of paper and pencils. They are all drawing intently, dis playing boundless imagination. In their simiple lines they recognize their toys, trees, houses, animals, flowers. Tihen they return the pajper and pencils wihioh may still be of use tomorrow. Now the teacher sings a song for them, they follow up, once, twice, and tlhen the mouths render the hard motif. One boy was taught by his mother a poem which he recites. Afterwards a girl will recite rhymes acquired from the teacher. One verse is about two hen's, another about something distant, unknown, fas cinating, about the land wlhere her parent's came from — about Ukraine. For they all know they are Ukrainians. One more choral pilay with the song "The sun ils smiling at us.” The kids like it yet they are im patient as something good is to be brought for them. And here it is. The children sit down in rows around the big table and each one gets a cup or a bowl with food. Their eyes are glowing. Тіh-e tea cher i«s watching their behavior. She does sometimes give instruc tions on the table manners. The children give their thanks and a prayer follows. It is 12 noon. Time for little ones to have a nap. The tot's are being taken home, only to be brought back at 2 p.m. to conti nue to play. Their good teacher promises to tell ’t/hem a new fairy tale. After they will remain here till 4 p.m. whereupon they will get a tasty supper. At times cocoa with a roll, now and then sweet rice with milk or mush with mar malade. This has been sent them by aunts from America who are mindful of them in far off land. And the teacher? Her day isn't done yet. She is tidying the room together with, an interchangeable mother. They must clean the room, do the dishes, and scrub the floor once a week. They have to shape out a course for tomorrow, enter all purchases in the books. It surely is a hard tasik to be a teacher in -a camp kindergarten! Ivanna Cfoornobrivets.
