SOAP AND WATER DRILL
AS APPLIED IN SCHOOLS
Two of the Best Allies in Fight
Against Catching Diseases.

"Soap and water, frequently used,
are two of the best allies we have in
our fight against many of the catch
ing Diseases" was the answer of DR..
R. H. Riley, Assistant Director of the
State Department of Health, when
asked to suggest some ways that
would help to prevent the interchange
of the germs of diseases among chill
dren in the schools.
'If we could get every child to form
the habit of washing the hands thor
oughly, several times day, and GER
tainly before meals, it would go a
long way" he continued, toward cut
ting down some of the diseases that
children catch from each other at
school. The teachers who are having
soap and water drills are rendering a
genuine service. The teacher of a
one-room school worked out plan re-
Gently, with the local public health
nurse, that is worth being copied else
where.
"That particular school is without
the conveniences that make cleanli-
ness easy. Water has to be brought
from a pump some distance away and
there is no washroom in the building.
The teacher aroused the interest Of
the children by asking each one to
bring some leftover bits Of soap.
Boiling water poured over the lot
turned it into liquid soap which was
poured into a bottle fitted with a
shaker top. A pitcher, a bucket, some
japanese paper napkins and package
of wooden toothpicks completed the
equipment.
1.-THE hand scrub drill takes place
just before the children eat their
lunch. Appointment on the soap and
water serving squad is reward of
merit and cleanliness. The empty
bucket to hold waste water is put in
place and the children line up. (Inci-
dentally, it Ks worth noting that the
plan of pouring water over the hands
is preferable to the use of basins, be-
cause of the difficulty of keeping the
group basins sterile.)
Number l on the serving squad
shakes the liquid soap over the hands.
Number carries the pitcher that was
filled earlier in the day and that has
been standing on the back of the stove
because warm water will cleanse the
hands more effectively than cold, and
pours the water for washing and rims
ing, while the waste water falls into
the bucket on the floor. Number 3
hands out a paper napkin for drying
the hands, and if the finger nails of
the class have been questionably dark,
a wooden toothpick helps to improve
conditions.
"The whole exercise takes only a
few minutes, but it is invaluable as a
habit forming process"

AUDITORIUM :
AND GYMNASIUM

Plans and specifications for the
new Ventnor schoolhouse to be
erected on the site of the present

An auditorium with seating ca
pacity of more than 700 and a gym
nasium, SO by 80 feet. are included
in the new plans. Lack Of space
in Fentnor for entertainment pur-
poses in some instances forces
clubs and school organizations to
work in cramped quarters which
binders the advancement of the
children. The new hall viii be
used much by the children for mu-
steal demonstrations, as that work
is part OF the training in the
Ventnor schools.
The plan also calls FOR % class
rooms which win some. nat relieve
the crowded conditions existing al
the present time. A three story
mechanical building to be erected
in the rear of the school will con.
tain heating apparatus for both it
and the Troy avenue school.
According to present plans Of the
school board. work on this new
structure will begin early in the
fall.
The city hall standing on this
site is to be razed and the fire
company adjoining il Will move TO
its. new quarters. which are now
nearing completion at New Haven

To Have
Dahlia Show
Steel Pier To Be Scene Of Col
orful Affair In Sep
TENDER
EXHIBIT HUNDREDS
OF VARIETIES

Lovers of flowers in general and
dahlias i'll particular viii have an
opportunity to feast their eyes be.
tween September 18th and 18th,
when the Now jersey Dahlia So.
ciety brings to the resort hundreds
Of gorgeous blooms of a hundred
different varieties.
An interview with Judge Clifton
c. Shinn' convinced the writer that
his were the sentiments of a dahlia
fan. for he spoke with unbridled
enthusiasm OF the coming show.
ut is very gratifying to note" said
the Judge, that Atlantic City men
and women are taking great deal
OF interest in the show, and those
from other sections Of Jersey are
very enthusiastic about coming to
Atlantic City. They seem to feel
that it is the logical place for such
a display"
Warren w Maytrojt, who is one
of the Vice Presidents of the New
Jersey Dahlia Society. and a grower
of the hardy and beautiful flower
in Vineland, is the chairman Of the
show committee, and already he IS
formulating plans to make the
1927 dahlia exhibition the greatest
in history. Also on this commit
tee are Charles L. Fischer Sra
who needs no Introduction to At
lantic City people who have learned
to SAY 1t With Flowers" for his
blooms have always brought praise
from many. DeyouX B. Edwards,
as chairman Of the publicity com
mittee. too is working toward max
ing the show a great success. Mrs.
Allen X, White will also lend a
helping hand in the arrangements.
The committee on awards has an
nounced that there will be $50
prizes to be competed for, which
means that there will be cup
given for the best dahlia in each
division, in both professional and
amateur classes. Another attrac-
tive feature win be the Court of
Honor, in which growers will ex-
hibit one bloom, which naturally
will be the largest and the most
colorful of each variety. This COM
petition is limited to New Jersey
growers. Another division will be
the table decoration class, in which
the highest form Of florists art will
be displayed
Needless to say Atlantic City
will have wonderful opportunity
to be host to those who make life
little more beautiful, and the
world little bit more cheerful
place in which to live, and by that,
we mean the flower growers.

Great Interest
Shown In
New Pier
New Business and Amusement
Center Now Seems
Most Likely
ALBANY AVENUE
BOULEVARD SECTION
Very Definite Developments
Bear Out Benjamin r. F0x's
Prediction of Growth and
Valuation Increase

A new business and amusement
center now seems likely on the
Boardwalk in the vicinity of Albany
avenue boulevard as the announce
ment of a new $5,000,0O0 pier for
Chelsea avenue has created great
deal OF interest. This interest is
assuming active form very much
like that which followed the an
nouncement of the location of the
new Convention Hall now under
construction.
The new $5,000,000 ocean pier
project is by a syndicate headed
by Charles Myers. The mere an
nouncement of such a large con-
struction was sufficient to start
real activity.
The new pier project and its at
tendant activities bear out the
statement often made by Benjamin
r. Fox that the Albany avenue
boulevard section is the real center
of the Worlds Playground.
Announcements of large con-
struction projects during the past
two weeks has awakened much in
terest among the local real estate
fraternity who believe that active
trading usually follows in the wake
of substantially-sized building i'm
provements, particularly in the i'm
mediate surrounding neighbor-
hoods. They point out that rise
in property values is, in most cases
concurrent with large projects of
this nature, which results in the
creating of selling market by the
investor and speculator wise
enough to foresee future possibili-
ties.
Another large project prominent
during the week was that of an s.
story Office building for erection at
the southeast corner of New York
and Atlantic avenues. The already
high ground values on the city's
main thoroughfare will be in
creased materially by this latest
"skyscraper. it is felt by local
estate brokers.
On Pacific avenue. at Mount Yer
non avenue. another large improve
ment is under way in the new pro-
fessional building. lnasmuch sell
ing activity has been very good in
that immediate section during the
past several months. this project is
likely to cause an additional sec
tional demand.

SAFETY ISLANDS

Work on the additional safety is

done by gangs from the street de.

Headley. New safety islands are be-
ing placed at New Jersey. Virginia,
North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa and
Brighton avenues. They will be
built of concrete and at some cross
ings replace present wooden struc.
lures.
