WORK OF THE MANUAL
TRAINING DEPARTMENT

The boys of the woodwork depart
ment have been doing some very inter
esting work this year, such as making
small objects in the class room. They
have also saved the Board of Educa-
tion considerable money by making
two porches for the Washington school
These porches are neat as well as at
tractive.
Under supervision of Mr. Goodhall
the manual training class is progress
ing we'll. The only thing that hinders
Mr.. Goodhall over at the Washington
school was the recesses. The boys
would then break loose and run off
to play games of football and base
ball ;'some were even observed playing
with the girls at ring -Rosey
and drop the handkerchief, but as soon
as the gong sounded they all returned
and began work once more in earnest.
The porches were finished in two days
time.
1t has been said that the manual
training class of this year is the most
Industrious class and is turning out
some Of the best and most useful
things that any class has turned out
in years.
This class helps around the
school more than any other class
they have Sc UP the football goals
they are now making book case for
the library. Counting the porches and
many small objects, not mentioned
for home use, this class is very pro-
ductive.

FOOTBALL SEASON OVER

Because of the lack of games, foot
ball has been abandoned for the rest
of the year. Coach Brannigan at

and Tempe, but no games could be
arranged. Only two games were
played, both of which were with Flag

DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

Perhaps one of the most useful de-
partments in the High school for the
girls is the domestic science depart
ment. The girls in this class have
done admirable work under the super
vision of Mrs Claffey
They have so far put up two hun
dred pints of fruit and one hundred
and twenty-five glasses of jelly and
marmalade.
The most of this fruit was put up
for townspeople with no expense for
doing the work.

Cunning for steel stops.

have been a cunning expedition for a
certain block of 10000 shares Of stock
on which a stop loss order had been put
in at s6%. Floor traders who were in

stock into the open carlo fractionally

Food Stocks Active,

One of the outstanding features OF the
market yesterday aside from the strength
in the shipping shares was the renewed
buying OF stocks OF the character OF
American Cotton Oil. which was up 2ia
points; American Linseed, which gained
1 point, and Virginia Carolina Chemical.
which advanced 21 points The ac-
emulation Of these issues Is understood
to have been by insiders who have
knowledge OF an important announce
ment to be issued soon from Washington
in the name OF Herbert Hoover. 1t is
understood that the Food Administrators
will offer a plan for the shipment to the
Central Powers and other nations OF
quantities of foodstuffs that they have
been unable to obtain while the blockade
was on. The resumption OF shipments OF
oilcake and similar products to Fin
land. Norway and Sweden also Is max
ing for activity in the stocks named
hereinbefore. as they are all large pro-
ducers OF commodities in most demand
in countries which have been under
blockade.

Tonnage Possibilities.

Now that the Steel dividend meeting

their attention and gossip to the posi-
bilities of the tonnage statement to be
published on May 10. According to
estimates wired from Plttsburg. the

100000 tons. which would bring the total
orders down to a new low level for as
far back as the early part of 1915, when

see the end OF the large decline in ton

working agreement will be reached on
the steel prices before the end OF the
month. and It Is certain that an agree
ment on prices will bring a gradual In

enlarged schools are able to furnish the
country pupil vastly increased facili-
ties for education, in teaching force,
better buildings and equipment, and
every phase of school work, the eff
ficiency being incomparably greater
than when the numerous small schools
were operated.
Showing that the north has no ad-
vantage over the south in such mat
ters, however, Superintendent Edwards
found in Montgomery county, Ala, that
in the past two years the number of
rural schools had been reduced from
40 to %, while the efficiency Of the
schools had been increased fully two
to one. Montgomery county hauls its
pupils as great a distance to school as
90 miles. That county is much larger,
too, in area than Escambia, having
$50 square miles to $50 here. Prof.
Edwards stated that the Montgomery
county board was expecting last night
to complete arrangements for selling
warrants sufficient to handle the cree
ton of buildings to finish the plan for
consolidation in the county; and that
when the work is done, that county
will have spent in three years a full
quarter of a million dollars for the bet
ter education of its 5000 rural white
pupils.
To get practical ideas for the equip
ment of the industrial departments in
the new high school here, Mr.. Ed
wards visited the buildings in three
Indiana cities of the size of Pensacola,
Anderson Muncie and Richmond In
Muncie he found an interesting electri-
cal department, answering to the de-
mand now so much made that young

men should have the opportunity to
study the master subject of electricity
in the public schools. In Anderson
he found a machine shop, the best he
had seen anywhere in a city of the
size.
In Cincinnati he visited the Hughes
high school, a plant with fully 200
rooms, worth over one and a half mill
lion dollars, and caring for 2,100 pu-
pills. While these figures make any
possible effort in Pensacola pale into
insignificance by comparison, it is
given as the candid opinion of Mr.. Ed
wards that in method and results the
Hughes school is not superior to the
Pensacola school; that it has nothing
but size in its favor. This opinion is
not at all out of line with frequent OBJ
