IDLE TEACHERS
To GET CALL

Unemployed teachers will be
given particular consideration by
school officials in the coming
selection of summer school in
structorS, it was intimated today
by DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent of Washington schools.
The prevailing strained economic
conditions make it imperative
that jobless teachers be placed
before those regularly employed,
DR.. Ballou declared.
The school system, however, he
continued, must not make itself
an agency to relieve unemploy-
ment to the detriment of teach
ing efficiency, and therefore the
qualifications of the prospective
summer school instructor must
measure up to the usual stand
ards.
In the municipal playground
department, too, playground su-
pervisors not regularly employed
will be considered in preference
to others wherever possible, &C
cording to Director Sibyl Baker.
Already there are about six
applications to each available
playground position.
The selection of outsiders as
summer school teachers presents
a serious problem, DR.. Ballou de-
clared, because of the scarcity Of
qualified teachers sufficiently
efficient to assume the respon-
sibility of the additional strain
incident to this type of instruc-
tion.

A Selfish Parent But it's such fun, mother. We feel so big and grown-up com and girls are having such a good time."
 Then a. terrible thought struck her. You're coming, aren't you, mother?"
 "Yea, I'll be there. I want to see what kind of a dress Mrs Me- Kee made for Grace. She's talked so much about 1t, 1t must be won- derful." s-

 T haven't time now"
 At last commencement day came. But Betty had the feeling that her mother was not in the least interested.
 Even when 1t was over, the only thing she talked about was the dresses the girls wore.
 Are, we like this? Do we live seifishly in our children, or do we live their joys and their dreams an dtheir plans with them?
 Too often not, I'm afraid.

SIMPLICITY IS RULE FOR
 SUMMER MEAL.
By SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer

Simplicity is the keynote of summer meals and entertaining, and of all the deliciously simple and simply delicious connections in the category of summer foods, fruit granites come first. Chilled to the nth degree without the actual forming of ice crystals. granites are refreshing and decid- edly cooling. sf
 To make granite, heavy syrup is combined with fruit juice and water and the mixture is half frozen. It is always liquid enough to drink but so thoroughly chilled that it just misses being an ice. Chill it until it looks white with frost and ice crystals gather a. gainst the sides of the mold.
 The combinations are almost countless for these granites. All the canned fruits and most of the fresh ones can be used singly or in combination. With canned fruit always available, one is not dependent on the local market and any flavor can be chosen for the drink.
 Two Ways of Preparation.
 Berry granites are seasoned and easy to prepare. Wash and drain one quart of berries. Put into a deep bowl and cover with 2 cups granulated sugar. Mash and cover with clean towel. Let stand two or three hours. Extract all the juice and strain through fine wire sieve or cheese cloth. Add two cups water, pouring it over the fruit pulp. Pour into mold and freeze. Serve with garnish of mint.
 All fresh fruits are used this way, the highly sweetened juice diluted with water.
 Canned fruits must be cooked with additional sugar to make q heavy syrup. Then the syrup is strained and combined with water as for fresh fruit,

PARENTS OFTEN ARE SELFISH | Are we interested in what our
 children are doing, or more inter-
 ested in what concerns ourselves?
 By selves" I mean those things
 concerning the children that rep- resent us rather than them. For instance, the other day at | a junior high school commence
 ment in which a 12 year old girl took part, this happened. All week the child had studied her part. She was too much ex- cited over plans for the great day to eat her meals.
 Every second she was out of the
 class room she was in the audi !, torium watching the decorations
 being tackled up. Every second she was at home she was going over her speech, talking about | the program-what this one was going to do, what that teacher said, what pupil had forgotten his lines at rehearsal.
 Her mother was working on her dress. It was of simple plain white
 with a little white cape over the shoulders.
 During fittings this is a sample of the conversations. My, but I'll be glad when this Is all over! If 1t weren't that you could wear this dress all summer
 for good. I'd never be bothered
 making it."
 But you want me to look nice. don't you, mother! All the girls
 are wearing white." "Oh yes. I want you to look
 nice. of course. But l just think it is all nonsense having this com-
 mencement."
