OUR NEW CONTEMPORARY

The November issue, which is the
initial number Of the High school
monthly magazine, is just off the
press and is a neat brochure Of school
notes, observations, wise and other"
wise, and an occasional Indictment of
humor. In the lead editorial, the
title of the school paper is thus ex-
planned:
"Many people, reading the title of
this school paper, will wonder what
the exact meaning and application Of
'Crucible' is. What was the idea in
giving it such a name? AS a whole
the name means a vessel in which
things are mixed and melted together,
forming a compound. This is what
we hope to form of our paper; huge
melting pot into which we can all cast
our personal efforts, thus make a sue
cess of this new enterprise which we
have undertaken. We wish for, we
need the help and corporation OF
the entire school, and any good ma
terial will be appreciated. Get into
the mixture, stir yourself around and
help to form a suitable compound by
doing your bit, and we are sure to
make a great success OF 'The Cru
cible.'"
The matter in the Crucible is Who'll
ly the work Of the students and la
tent talent is promised for future
numbers which will blossom and bur-
geon with experience. An interesting
letter from France, signed "Paul'
opens the book. Eleanor Carroll, 10

is a sprinkling' of pertinent news

Gray, of the faculty, tells what con-
stitutes the function Of a school paper
and takes occasion to thank the adver~
tisers who form quite an integral in

SALVATION ARMY IS
HELPING CONSERVATION

he Salvation Army has enlisted
under the banner Of Hooverism. At
their meetings, they are urging upon
their audiences the necessity Of food
saving. This is food conservation
week and the 100000 homes in this
country must conserve as much as
possible so that nutritious food may
be sent to the soldiers. We are asked
to save white flour, using more Of
corn, rye, barley and oatmeal. We
are asked to save beef, mutton and
pork, using fish, fowl and eggs. We
are asked to save meat fats and
butter fats, using oil for cooking. We
are asked to save sugar by using
fruit syrups, honey and less candy.
If we can multiply an ounce OF sugar
or fats per day by 100,0OO,OOO people,
we have saved 180,000,0O pounds in a
month; if we save pound of flour a
week, we save 125,0O0,O00 bushels of
wheat each year.

PARENT-TEACaER CORNER.

The meeting Tuesday evening was at.
tended by some thirty persons and pre-
sided over very ably by Miss Kellar,
teacher in the third and fourth grades
The opening number of tine program
was a piano duet by Mrs. NJ A. Willis
and Mrs Neyin, who are ever willing to
lend their talents for the cause.
DR.. Woodwork then gave us heart.
to-heart talk presenting the child's rights
50 vividly we felt that if there were but
one side to the subject, and that the
chid's, that side would be sufficient to
put into immediate execution the move
ment we are initiating. The Doctor then
emphasized this point-that while the
development of the brain was very es-
sentisl the development of the body was
much more SO; and that child kept out
of school until be is physically sound,
will accumulate the required knowledge
ia due time and more satisfactorily than
the physically unfit child who is kept in
school He then covered briefly the
diseases most prevalent among school
children, namely improper nourishment,
defective eyesight, imperfect teeth, i'm.
paired hearing, adenoids and nervous
ness, upon the correction of any one of
which might hinge the entire future Of
the child, citing several cases which had
come under his personal knowledge.
After outlining the symptoms of the
various diseases and the ease with which
they could be handled by the proper
authorities, Dr. Woodwork closed his
tax with the statement that he could
think of no greater work to be done by
the people OF Custer than the establish
ment Of physical examinations in the
school.
Miss Grimley followed with short
talk on the advisability of state law
requiring such examinations TO be made
in all the schools, and the need for bet.
ter preparation of teachers in subjects
dealing with the health of school
children.
Miss Adams, teacher OF our fifth and
sixth grades, voiced the opinion Of the
teachers on the subject, and this was 30
strongly in favor of the movement that
we all felt there must be great need of it
in our school. Miss Adams spoke forci-
bly, about the unfairness Of expecting
mental progress from tie child who was
suffering from physical defects, the ul-
fairness to the child himself and to the
other children, for two, three or four
deficient children will unwittingly re-
tsrd the class as whole.
IL order to have the third side, for We
have discovered that the subject is three
sided at least, Mrs. Davis represented
the parents, pleading earnestly for the
conservation of childhood to insure the
best manhood and womanhood, and
told of the great juvenile work being
carried on throughout the country with
this end in view.
To sum up, the sentiment of the meet
ing was in favor of the movement snd
all that remains now is to act.
A special business meeting of the AS
sociation will be held on Friday even
ing next, February 23rd, at 7:45 at the
| home of Mrs Percy I'll. Helm, at whici
plan will be formulated for submission
to the public at the March meeting
