Tells Of Woman's Club
Work In Nebraska
Mrs. H F. Gilbert Formerly OF Pocomoke Submits Article
Telling Of Activities Of Woman's Club In
Norfolk, Nebraska

enrich ones life Mrs. Christoph cit
ed the trouble of the first club MEM
bers Of the country when they held
their meetings secretly to avoid criti-
cism and disapproval of their hus-
bands, and compared the life Of the
club women of today with those of
pioneer days, noting the progress that
has been made. Mrs. Coryell spoke
of the interest the woman's club has
always taken in the public schools and
said that women are beginning to un-
derstand better the great power they
WELD in united effort.
Following the luncheon the board
Of directors held it's session with Mrs.
F. G. Coryell, chairman, presiding.
This was followed by the business
meeting of the club. It was decided
to give $40 this year to the general
Federation headquarters at Washing
ton, D. C. Reports Of officers, leaders
of departments and chairmen of
standing committees were given.
These showed that all were actively
at work and well organized.
Reports of delegates to the district
convention at Albion were given by
Mrs. G. B. Christoph, Mrs. John
Isaacson and Mrs. H. K. Demmon.
Mrs. Christoph reported on the de-
partment of fine arts, explaining the
campaign the women are about to I'M
dertake to eliminate the bill boards,
stating there is enough lumber used
in this way to rebuild devastated
France. Mrs. Isaacson reported items
of interest to local members from the
address of Mrs. Penney, state presi-
dent, and mentioned the hospitality
extended to visitors by the entertain
ing club. Mrs.. Demmon brought out
facts interesting to women, especially
the appropriation given to eradicate
tuberculosis and scabies in cattle by
the last legislature and lack of appro-
priation for mothers and babies as re-
quired to make the Sheppard Towner
bill effective. She also reported on
legislation affecting the public schools
and institutions. The club expects
this year to send delegation to Madi-
SON when examinations for applicants
for naturalization is held"

Seventh Grade Pupils
Make Good Showing

One Of the best means of measuring
the educational progress Of the pres
ent is by comparing the actual
achievements Of pupils Of today with
those of a generation ago. AS STAN
dardized tests were practically nne
known until very recently this is
somewhat difficult but Miss Mary B.
Pusey, Supervisor of Elementary
schools of Worcester county, has re-
Gently made some experiments along
this line and the results, are both in
Fteresting and encouraging.
A set of examination questions CIV
en- to ninth grade class in Spring
field, Mass, in 1916 was as follows:
1. Add together the following num-
bers: Three thousand and nine, twen-
ty-one, one, three hundred and one,
sixty-one, sixteen, seven hundred and
two, nine thousand, nineteen and a
half, one and a half.
2. Multiply 10,008 by S009.
3. In a town five miles wide and
six miles long, how many acres?
A. How many steps Of two and a
half feet each will a person take in
walking one mile?
5. What is one-third of 175h?
6. A boy bought three dozen Or
anges for 371a cents, and sold them
for IN cents apiece. What would he
have gained if he had sold them for
2A cents apiece?
Z. There is a certain number, one
third of which exceeds one-fourth Of
it by two. What is the number?
8. What is the simple interest of
$1,000 for IL years, II months, and 20
days at six per cent.
The Springfield pupils of 1916 (85
ninth graders) averaged 29.4 per cent.
upon these questions; the eighth
grade class in Springfield in 1905
being given the same problems made
an average Of 65.5 per cent. These
questions swere given to the seventh
grade pupils of the Pocomoke City
school, Miss Sadie Powell, teacher, a.
bout two months>ago. The pupils Of
this class had absolutely no previous
preparation for this test and did not
know at the time that any special in
terest was attached to the results.
The average made by the pupils of
Pocomoke City school was 67.3 per
cent. This increase in average made
by lower grade in one of our schools
is very gratifying to the teacher and
supervisor and shows that our schools
are keeping pace with the best schools
in the country when it comes to re-
suits that can be measured.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TINE
THE BORROWED CAR
D. MARYMARsEIALL DUFFEE

The borrower IL servant to the lender
Proverb.
THERE Is q really commendable
l generosity on the part of most au-
tomobile owners in trying to give the
greatest amount Of happiness possible
with their cars. Few automobile own
ers refuse to lend their cars for any
worthy charity-for instance. in many
towns the orphan asylunns each year
call for borrowed cars to take the
children for an outing. Hospitals de-
pend on borrowed cars for taking con-
valescent patients for airings, and
then, of course, there are the number
less times when the thoughtful owner
lends his car to friends. Sometimes
he sends his car, with driver, to take
some friends family for an afternoons
outing. Often he sends it to take
friends who have no car to or from
some entertainment, or for shopping
trip.
Now, there is not much to be said
anent the mannerly way Of lending a
car. Don't be condescending in your
manner. That is all. If you lend your
car, do it with generous spirit which
will he sure to show in your manner.
But there is good deal to say to
the person who accepts the use Of a
borrowed car.
\ To begin with, use the car only for
such hours as 1t Is understood that
you are to use it. That is, If friend
telephones you. and asks you II you
would like to use her car to do the
Saturday morning shopping, between
ten and eleven, be sure not to keep 1t
until half past eleven.
If friend on whom you are calling
sends her car to take you home don't
ask the driver to stop at somebody
else's house while you make call.
And never, never use the car rough
ly. Don't let the children kick the up
holstery andscratch the varnish. Don't
leave scraps or bundles. Be sure, when
you leave the car. that, 1t is as neat
as 1t was when you entered it.
Another thing: Never accept the
car from anybody but the owner. Il
you see friends car standing by the
curbstone. don't ask the chauffeur If
he won't Just drive you on an errand.
And never, unless In the case Of a
chauffeur who has been in the service
of the car owner for long time, &C.
cept his invitation to use the car. Even
then, the only time you would be justi-
fed in doing so would be If he hap
pened' to be going in your direction.
and suggested that he could take you
home conveniently.

the Ladies Aid. Reservations were
made for over 100 persons and ninety
five women were seated at tables in
the dining room, which presented an
attractive appearance with the place
cards in the clubs color, yellow jon
quils. At the request of the presi-

was seated, the last verse of "Ameri-

At long table were seated the

and the five past presidents who were;
Mrs. George N. Beels Mrs. A. j.
Durland, Mrs. S. F. Erskine, Mrs. G..

also of the effort put forth by the club
to help beautify the city, giving prizes
for the best vegetables and flower
