SHAWKEY WOULD TEACH
SEVERAL NEW SUBJECTS

Twelve projects for increasing the
efficiency of the schools Of West Vir-
ginia through their teachers, by offer
ing demonstrations as part of the
county institute programs are suggest
ed by State Superintendent NJ p
Shawkey. They include the teaching
of classes before the institutes, voting
on provisions of the proposed new
school code, testing eyes and ears,
health exercises, and food conserve
ton.
'Other lessons will be laboratory ex-
ercises, such as selecting and testing
seed corn; litmus tests for SOIL ef-
feet of mulch, testing milk for butter
fat, etc, paper folding exercises, let
ter writing exercises, composition
writing, memory drill and patriotic
addresses.
These projects are to give teachers
practical knowledge OF how to intro.
duce them effectively in their schools.
Superintendent Shawkey says:
while teaching You win often long
to throw down responsibility and take
the place of the student again. During
Institute you are. privileged to sit in
the seat of the learner You should
claim the peculiar pleasure which
comes with rapid learning. Those
who dodge attendance, seek back
seats and corners or fail in any way
to enter actively into the work of the
institute. are poor students and are
sure to be poor teachers. They are
slackers.' The times and the pro.
gram. are important. Make the in.
stitute one Of the most profitable OF
| your life.'

Huns Didn't Get
Grain of Ukraine

Washington.-Amid the many easy
triumphs which enabled the Teutons
this year to slice great sections from
the map of Russia, like coupons from
a bond, Germany and Austria both sur
fered one frightful disappointment.
And the pang was in the weakest part
of their political anatomy-the collec-
tive stomach of their peoples.
The grain of which the two kaisers
expected to plumber the Ukraine was
not there-at least there was so little
of it that Germany had to lower her
bread ration, while Austria continued
to starve bit more rapidly. The sup
plies had been burned.
These fires were lighted, with a kind
of poetic justice, by the remnants Of
the Czecho-Slovak army-deserters
from the Austrian ranks and invet-
crate enemies of the Hapsburgs, who
had been reconstructed into Russian
military units under the Kerensky
regime and fought so splendidly for
Russia before the whole nation col
lapsed from the gnawing Of the boil
sheviki.
Fortunate for the Allies.
Until March of this year this Czecho-
Slovak army had been stationed In the
Ukraine-5O,OO0 men in line and $4,000
more In reserve. Then bolshevik rep
resentatives dissolved their organiza-
ton and took away their arms, though
about 10000 refused to part with their
weapons They were given promises
that they would be allowed to leave
Russia for the United States, but, of
course. no means Of transportation
were provided. And so they remained
where they were.

While drying was something of an
experiment last year, several commu-
nifty drying plants We're established and
this summer finds this branch enlarged.
Many of the canning kitchens which
had no drying facilities before have
installed driers, and 1t is expected that
the returns in dried products will show
large increase over those of last sum-
mer.
Home-demonstration agents and
leaders in boys and girls club work
of the United States department Of
agriculture and the state agricultural
colleges have been active In the work
of these kitchens, in many cases super
vising the enterprises and taking
charge of the demonstrations.
Appeal to Foreign-Bo
Several kitchens Tor cooked food
were started in cities last winter by
urban home-demonstration agents.
Most Of them are located in the poorer
sections, where they reach n large num-
Der of foreign-born people. Soup and
simple-cooked foods are supplied Mt a
nominal charge, to be eaten in the
kitchen or carried home. Recipes Of
the dishes are distributed ut the same
time. Agents find this an unusually
effective way of demonstrating to for
eign-born residents. Milk stations ure
run in connection with some Of the
kitchens, and bottled milk Is sold at
cost.
With more complete mobilization
of women for food production and food
preservation the demands for commu-
nifty kitchens have increased proper
tionately and new centers are being
established continually, many under
the expert direction of home-demon-
stration agents. In addition to the
actual saving of food, the kitchens
keep the conservation movement con-
stantly before the public in con-
structive way and relieve pressure of
home work Mt busy season. They
provide trained supervision In the pur-
chasing and preparation of food and
demonstrate the newest methods and
the advantages of efficient equipment.
And best of all, they promote sOcia-
bility, democracy and good fellowship
and add new impetus to the co-operD
tive life of the community.
