SOUERS REPORTS
TO BOARD UPON
EASTERN MEET

The most impressive feature Of
| the entire convention was the resolu-
tion passed and adhered to by all the
delegates, reaffirming their belief in
the integrity of bpresent-day YOUTH
Superintendent of Schools r. f.
Souers told the. members of the
school board during a brief report
on his trip to the national educa-
tional conference in Washington, D.
c., recently.
With the exception of a few min
utes devoted to routine business, the
regular board meeting Thursday was
given over to the superintendent's
report which was published in The
Dispatch Sunday in comprehensive.
form.
Souers told the board, however,
that he believes the educational bin
embodying the creation of a federal
department of education with a sec,
retary in the presidents cabinet, has
little chance of passage. This fact
is due mostly, he asserted, to the
general feeling against extending the
power of the federal government
further into the domain of the states.
He further reported that the dis
cussion which was broached concern
ing religious teaching in the public
schools was dropped rather quickly
as the general feeling seemed to be
that such a move would jeopardize
religious freedom rather than further
it, The educators present, however,
were all strongly in favor of going
on record as having great faith in
American youth and passed the reso-
lution to that effect.
Among other interesting problems
presented, about which Souers told
the board yesterday, was the ques-
tioning by the delegates of the value
of intelligence tests. The old-fash-
ioned school examination system was
generally upheld by the delegates,
Souers stated, while the general con-
sensus of opinion was that the new
style of elementary and high school
principal should be a person who is
an educational statesman and who
is an excellent administrator, work.
ing with the parents as well as with
the teachers.
The body at the convention went
on favor as disapproving of any les
islative action in educational realms
on such matters as the teaching of
evolution It was also brought out
that health training and upbuilding
in the schools is a vital problem and
should have greater consideration in
the future.
Teachers of today, Souers reported
from views gathered during his visits
to several school systems while away,
are very anxious to rise in their pro-
fession and are keen for trips abroad
and for summer school study to in
crease their value as instructors.
There is an over-supply of teachers,
however, the local superintendent
found, and some of the normal schools
are lengthening their courses so as
not to turn out their students too
quickly. Another interesting factor
ascertained by Souers was that Par

sections of the country are becoming

ing valuable gifts to school and up,
building the work of the school or
ficials rather than opposing them as
has often been the case.
The board was greatly pleased with
superintendent Souers' report and
commended him heartily on the val
liable information which he obtained
at the convention.

October is the height of the season

There are two types of grapes,
and every housewife should be
able to distinguish between them.
California grows the European type
of grape exclusively, while the
Eastern half of the U. S. produces
varieties derived from the native
wild species. The California grapes
have longer punches, berries from
slightly oval to olive-shaped, the
skin clinging tightly to the pulp,
but the seeds separating readily
All the Eastern grapes have round
berries, from whose pulp the skin
slips easily.
Innumerable varieties Of grapes
are grown, Of which only the ten
most important table varieties will
be listed here. Among the Cali
fornia grapes the most important
are: Thompson Seedless. Malaga.
and Muscat, all white varieties;
the Flame Tokay, a red variety;
the Cornichon, a black grape with
olive-shaped berries: and last Of all
the Emperor, which is red.
The four most important East
ern varieties arranged according to
season are: Delaware. a small red
variety-finest of all in flavor;
Concord, the common black grape;
Niagara, the most popular white
Tof q 1,nd
grape. Concords are by far the
most important and make up at
least ninety per cent of all the
Eastern crop.
For all purposes except jelly
making it is highly important to
select fully ripe grapes, as the
sweetness and the flavor improve
with maturity. In fact, ripeness
counts more than almost anything
with the grapes. Black and red
varieties lose their greenish cast
as they ripen. while the white
grapes change from grass green to
a light amber with maturity. The
berries soften slightly when the
fruit is fully ripe. although this
test is not infallible. The best plan
is to taste one or two berries be-
fore buying, to make sure of the
flavor.
Large, compact punches, with
large individual berries are the
ideal type. Something Is wrong
with the fruit when the punches
are loose, straggly, or the berries
drop off easily; it may be one OF
| a dozen different defects, but what
ever it is the fruit is not Of first quail
