and administration of the school sys-

All persons employed in the public
school systems as teachers, supervis-
ors, or administrators should be train
ed specifically to fulfill the response
bilities of the positions they hold. In
the light of the standards set up by
most of the State Departments of Ed
ucation, and in very large majority
of our city school systems, it appears
that all classroom teachers in the ell
ementary schools should have at least
two years of professional training
after graduating from a four-year
high school; and that all principals
should have three or more years
teaching experience in addition to the
minimum training.

An Oven Dinner
Menu
Tomato steak, vegetable gravy,
boiled rice, cabbage and celery salad,
peach short cake.
Tomato Steak
Three pounds round steak, 2 inches
thick; / pint tomatoes, 2 carrots, 1
large onion, white turnip, 2 cloves, 2
teaspoons salt, rs teaspoon pepper.
Place the meat in large pan and
scar. Pare the carrots, onion, and
turnip and put thrugh meat grinder
or chop rather fine. Add the ground
vegetables and tomatoes to the meat,
then add the seasonings, cover and
bake until done. Remove the meat
from the vegetable mixture and thick
en- this to make a gravy. For this
use 2 tablespoons of flour which have
been mixed with two tablespoons OF
cold water to make a smooth paste.
Stir this slowly into the hot vegetable
mixture and let simmer gently until
the gravy is thickened to the desired
consistency. Serve with rice which
has been cooked in the oven at the
same time as the meat.
Rice
One cup rice, quarts cold water, 2
teaspoons salt.
Either polished or brown rice may
be used. Wash the rice and put it In
a baking dish. Add the water anc
salt. Cover and place in the oven
At the end of the baking period re-
move from the oven and drain. Rice
can be rinsed with either hot or colo
water. The cold water will serve to
seperate the grains better, making
them each one distinct. If this is de-
sired and the cold water is used the
rice will have to be reheated before
serving. It can be reheated for few
minutes by returning it to the oven
Cabbage and Celery Salad

BICENTENNIAL STAMPS
WENT ON SALE JANUARY 1
Twelve Washington Portraits In
Series Issued to Commemorate
Anniversary of First President

The new postage stamps issued to
commemorate the Bicentennial obser-
vance of George Washington's birth,
were placed on sale in the National
Capital on January LIST, and through
out the rest of the country the follow
ing day, are in a series of twelve,
from the one-half cent to the ten-cent
denomination. These stamps show
Washington as he was painted at
different times in his life by different
artists.
The one-half cent stamp is dark
brown in color, bearing the likeness of
Washington painted by Charles Will
son Peale, the original of which is now
in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The one-cent stamp, printed in green,
is a reproduction of the profile bust by
Houdon, made in 1855 and now among
the treasures at Mount Vernon. The
one and one-half cent stamp is light
brown, featuring another Peale por-
trait of Washington known as the
Virginia Colonel, now in possession OF
Washington and Lee University at
Lexington, Virginia.
The stamp which the public will be-
come most familiar with, because OF
it's use on most mail, is the two-cent
bearing the likeness of George Wash
ington already best known, the Gill
bert Stuart Athenaeum portrait done
at Germantown in 1896. Already this
portrait has become generally known
among Americans because of its use
on the one dollar bill.
The color of the three-cent stamp is
purple and bears reproduction OF the
the Peale portrait painted at Valley
Forge in 1777 showing Washington in
the uniform of a general with cock
ed hat. Another Peale portrait done
the same year, known as the Rhlne'
beck portrait, will appear on the four
cent stamp in warm brown. The five
cent stamp in blue features the Wash
ington portrait now owned by the
New York Historical Society.
The six-cent stamp in orange shows
the portrait painted by Trumbull IN
1892. The head and bust of the Trum-
bull portrait done in 1880 appears on
the seven-cent stamp in black, while
the eipht-cent of olive green is a re-
production of the crapeon drawing
made from life by Charles B. ]. F
Saint Memin.
The innocent stamp is pink show
ing reproduction of the pastel por'
trait painted from life by w. Williams
in 1894, while the last of the series
the ten-cent stamp is orange in color
and the portrait is taken from the Gil
bert Stuart painting made in 1895
known as the Vaughn portrait.

books and Institutional materials be
furnished at public expense. A study
of certain well-organized county
school systems indicate that the an
nual per pupil cost of textbooks and
Institutional materials averages about
$2.1O.
The curriculum should contain such
courses of study and materials as will
furnish all aims and purposes of ed
ucation as set forth in previous Sec
lions of this paper. In general the
curriculum should contain subject
matter and materials providing for
instruction and training in health, In
civics, the tool subjects, worthy home
membership, worthy use of leisure
time, and an acquaintance with eco
nomic and vocational life in the mod
ern world. This is set forth here in
connection with the financing of the
elementary school because of these as
poets of the curriculum essentials. 1t
has become quite popular in some
groups to undertake to eliminate
many of these essentials from the ele-
mentary curriculum. Of course, If
nothing but the three Rs are to be
taught considerable time might be
saved and the cost of elementary
schools reduced accordingly.
/ It appears necessary for the school
people themselves to state concisely
what training the children are en-
titled to receive in the elementary
schools, and resist with every power
at their command the attempt of lay
men who are interested chiefly in the
reduction of taxes, to curtail the adj
vantages to which the children are
entitled.
Trends as we'll as enlightened prac-
tees and modern studies of child de-
velopment indicate that the most ac-
ceptable type OF organization is the
six-year elementary school. So far as
the elementary school is concerned,
it's cost will be influenced by whether
it is to be a six or an eight-grade
school. So far as the total cost of the
public school system on elementary
and secondary levels is concerned, II
the schools were manned and equip
ped according to enlightened stand
. ards, the cost will probably be affected
by whether the elementary school is to
. terminate with the sixth grade or the
/ eighth grade.
There is probably not any factor
that will more greatly influence the
cost of the school system than the
accepted standard as to the number
of pupils constituting teaching unit.
The statistics of our better city school
systems, and in the States maintain
ing the county unit system, such as
Louisiana and Maryland, as well as
such experimental studies as have
: been conducted indicate that about 30
l to 40 pupils should constitute teach
: ing unit. The acceptable standard
seems to be about forty enrolled which
. will usually mean about 35 pupils in
e average daily attendance. Further ex-
: Fermentation and the further devel-
opment of the teaching technique may
e in all probability change this ratio in
: the future.
