Text OF the Letter.
The letter, which sets forth the
sympathetic character and profess
sional worth in which the teachers
held Mr.. Murch. follows:
ITO us who are leaving and to US
who are remaining under his super
vision it seems fitting at this time of
change and readjustment to express
to the board OF education our appre-
citation of the work of Mr.. Il. w.
Murch in behalf of the schools Of the
old first division.
His loyalty to higher officials, his
unselfish devotion to the best inter-
ests of teachers and pupils and his
open minded outlook upon innova-
tionS have been a source of inSptra-
ton and confidence to the entire COM
munity.
"Kindly. Intelligent Sympathy"
by his kindly. intelligent SYM
pathy he has removed much of the
stress and strain of school routine.
When criticism has been necessary
it has always been of the constructive
kind. and invaluable help has been
given by his forceful presentation of
subjects in the classroom.
1T must give satisfaction to the
board to know in what high esteem
Mr.. Murch is held by his teachers"
As an additional evidence of their
appreciation Mr.. Murch'S friends in
the division gave him an excellent
radio set.

THIS is the machine that has made
i possible the Mccall Printed Pattern.
No ordinary printing press could print
satisfactorily upon the thin tissue re-
CURED and it was only after months of
experiment that this press was perfected
and the new Mccall Printed Pattern
became fact. The printing of this pat
tern marked as great revolution in
home sewing as the invention of the
sewing machine.

1t was impossible for the old-fashioned
pattern to be absolutely accurate; it is i'm
possible for the Mccall Pattern not to be!
Your finished dress has the style and fit
of the original model because the Mccall
margin protects the cutting lines and
when it falls away, it leaves every piece
with the exact measurements of the
master design.
Choose your clothes from the smart new
Paris designs pictured every month in
McCalls Magazine, and make them cas-
lily, quickly, and accurately with Mccall
Printed Patterns.

Chinese Train
Birds to Catch

NEW YORK, June 27.-Tn the
Orient, particularly in China, iish
are caught not with nets, lines and
hooks, but by birds called eormor-
ants. Young cormorants are taken
from the nests, tanned and trained.
With a line fastened to a leather
anklet they are taken out i'll the
boat to fish. Each boat has a
Crew of ten or twenty birds
that plunge into the water and dive
after fish which they store in their
roomy gullet. After every capture
the cOrmorants are drawn i'll and
forced to disgorge.
Usually a strap is fastened around
the cormorant s neck so that the
catch may not pass below the elastic
gullet which is capable of holding
several fish at time.
