Here Is A Sweet Surprise

The October Woman's Home
Companion says.
Z A refreshment that pleases and
surprises at childrens party
NAV be made in the following
way; After baking any plain
loaf cake, cut a number of little
square holes in the top, in such
a way that one will come in each
place when the cake is cut. Into
each hole press an opera size cho-
colate cream, return the lid of
the cake to its place removing a
little of the candy if necessary.
Ice the cake thickIy to cover the
irregularities of the cutting.
The extra trouble is not great
and the children are always de.
lighted when the candy is discov-
cred.

Improvement For Sewing Room

Improvement For Sewing Room
In the Woman's Home Com
panion a writer says.
The sewing room improvement
which has been the most help to
me is a small basket which hangs
against the end of the sewing
machine. its top about level with
the table top of the machine.
Il is just as easy to brush ends
of thread and clipping from goods
with one motion Of the hand into
this basket as to brush them on
the floor, resulting in u much
cleaner floor. The basket hangs
over two smalls hooks which
were screwed into the end Of
the machine and is easily remoy-
ed to be emptied.

Arabella Brown

Miss Arabella Simpkins Brown,
all bent on conversation.
Said she would keep expenses
down to aid the fighting nation.
She vowed by all she held SO
dear, she'd be most economic,
Altho the efforts make her queer
and like d Sunday comic.
She planned to take her last year
hat and put a ribbon on it
And get along with only that,
for this years winter bonnet
She wouldn't buy another dress
the project was a bold one,
Fort was her plan. as you might
gdess, to turn and trim her old
one.
Economies like these you know,
will stamp no maid or miser,
But help our Uncle Sam to go
and pulverize the Kaiser,
She wouldn't care how people
talked or even called her dow
dy,
If, while in saving garb she
walked. we'd lick that Prussian
rowdy.
She'd glady have her boots
half soled. or heeled if they
should need 'em
And thus conserve her store
of gold to aid the cause of Free
dom,
For Miss Arabella Brown the
fairest of creation
Resolved to keep expenses down
and practice conservation.
But, sad to say. all flesh is weak
and vows are easily broken.
In last years hat she looked a
freak and critics were out.
spoken.
So now she's running round the
town with eager animation.
And you may safely set it down,
she'll buy a "cute creation"

THE GARY PLAN
The Difference Between the Gary and
 Traditional Schools Summarized.

The Gary school plan, called into prominence just at this time by the troubles in New York, has caused many in Norwich and surrounding towns to inquire, What is the Gary plan?" That's a hard question, to an- swer in detail. off hand. as it is so far reaching, but comprehensive outline Is given below:
 It is the plan adopted in its entire ty. where it originated. m Gary, In diana, and adopted in part elsewhere. schools and the traditional schools, can be summarized as follows:
 By having the children from the kindergarten through the high school in one school there is formed com pIete community, in which the indi- vidual child meets persons of various ages and in which he is able to see his school life as a whole. The shops to make it possible for the child to see the conditions in the trades as they actually are, and to help him se- lect trade intelligently. All of the teachers are specialists, who have the greatest freedom in developing their individuality and who are put upon their own resources.
 Every child goes to the auditorium some time during the day, where lec- lures and demonstrati tion work are
 
 the purpose of keeping the child in touch with the whole school life. uni flying the school work, and at the same time teaching him how to act and be- come an intelligent member of an au- dience.
 The school is a great development centre, cooperating with libraries and outside institutions. including church. es. On the application of the parents, the children are allowed one or two hours 8 week for religious instruction. The school does not give religious in struction; this is turned over to the churches, but no child is released from regular school hours. The out side time is taken from the extra hour at play in auditorium. The schools are open from a. m. to , D. m.. but all of the children are not present all of the time. On Saturday some of the schools are open all day. at the schools under supervision. The hours are so arranged that one-half the children are in book work, while the other half are engaged in play, shop or auditorium.
 Gary is situated at the head of Lake Michigan. midway between the vast iron ore beds of the north and the great coal region of the south, and this, together with its excellent rail road and water facilities, caused 1t to be chosen as the site for the main plant of the United States Steel cor poration in April, 1906. Since then the growth of the city has been rapid, and it Is now the greatest steel pro- ductng place in the world and con- tains many industrial establishments.
