The vocational school now being
conducted at the lexington Presby-
terrain Church under the auspices of
the Woman's Home and Foreign Mis-
sionary Society. of that church, is said
to be the first project of its kind
in the city of Washington. The
founder of the school is Mrs. J. A.
Marshall. president of the woman's or
ganizatIon. and the school enrolment
has already reached 10, with an at
tendance at yesterdays session of ITO
The school is held on five days of,
the week, from $50 10 IL o'clock
noon, at the lexington church. The
| daily program opens with the read
ing of the Scripture and the telling
of a Scripture story by one of the
teachers. This is followed by prayer
and then the children separate for
| work in one of the seven departments
| of the school The work of the de-
partmentS includes hammock making.
| chair Gaming, crocheting. sewing. RATA
work. making of paper flowers, and
! kindergarten training. The most pop
Ular of the ella sSes is said to be that
engaged in chair Gaming. which COM
| mands the interest of girls and boys
alike. The hammock makers vie with
the chair Gamers in holding the at

is said that each child in the school
is determined to complete his own
