The class exercises presented by

Mr. Burns discussed in an enter
tanning way the subject of domestic
science, and although he claims to be
only a novice in the science, he adj
mitted that he was skilled to some
extent in the art, to the extent that
he could sew on buttons, and that he
could do that feat without pricking
his fingers.

ers are always on hand at such

perience can not afford to absent
themselves. as calls for progressive
