HOME ECONOMICS
I dropped into the home econmics
room the other day to inquire about
you'se kids, and Miss Cary told me
you were pretty busy. OF course,
I knew that anyway-or didn't I?
I gathered from our conversation
that you seventh graders are study
ing breakfasts; you know fruits,
cereals, breads, and beverages, or
whatever you have for breakfast.
;. BY the way IL you'd like guest
some morning know somebody
who'd like to accommodate you.
Il didn't say who.)
Well, guess I'd better forget food
or I'll be heading for your house
right now. Let's see? I be-
lieve Miss Cary mentioned chill
dren's clothes, the tailor tack and
say do you know what tailor tack
means? From what gather it's
a means of marking perforations
and ETC., on the garment with a
needle and thread. Is that right,
eighth graders?
You know, when I asked Miss
Cary what the freshmen were work.
ing on she said, Studying seams"
I said, "Seams?" And she said,
Eyes, you know, seams?" :. Then
T remembered another freshman
class. You guessed it (my old
gang, studying seams.) Let's
see, there were felt seams, French
seams, pinked seams, and what
were some others? I can't remem-
Der them, can you?
ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
The kindergarten children are
now getting acquainted with the
children Of other lands by studying
their customs, clothes, etc. Each
pupil is making picture book of
the children which will help him to
remember them more easily. With
the approaching holiday, Valentine
Day, they have started to make val
entines from paper doilies. This
work seems to be very interesting
task as each one is working with
out any complaint. They have al
so started to study about the fam
Gus man, Abraham Lincoln. They
are anxious to become better &C
quainted with him, as almost all
adults seem to know him very well.
The children Of Miss Harris room
are starting to decorate their room
for February. These decorations
include valentines, pictures of Lin
coin, and many other things. The
poor weather conditions have kept
many Of the pupils from coming to
school.
Last week two interesting films
were presented for Miss Sather's
pupils. Porto Rico" one Of the
films showed the different indus
tries engaged in by the citizens
such as diamond cutting, the sugar
cane industry, and the coffee indus
try. It also presented an interest
ing picture of the education in Por-
to Rico; its schools, colleges, and
rural districts. The other interest
ing film shown was silk" It
showed how the silk worm feeds
on mulberry leaves and how the
silk is taken from the cocoon. At
ter the silk has been spun into
thread and woven into cloth, the
film showed how it is transported
to the United States by several diff
ferent methods. The pupils great
ly enjoyed learning by means of
films. The fifth graders have TAX
en- up the study Of health. They
are now making Health posters of
Bodybuilding Foods"
