were no matches and the only way
OF making fire was to. strike flint or
stones together to produce a, spark
which would fly into a pile of cot
ton. The only light, she often re-
called, was rags saturated in tai
low and placed in clam shells. La
ter candlesticks were used to
mould candles and then followed
the kerosene lamps. She wore
homespun dresses made from flax
grown on the farm and used sun
glass to tell the time. When a child
they used ox-carts and covered
wagons or rode on horseback.

-Millsboro Rotary Club.
was pointed out that the school
have come in for much criticism
and such criticism has been base
on the sapposition that as they nov
are organized too much stress
being placed ON intellectual devel
opfnent at the expense of trainin
Ia problems requiring coordinatio
OF the hands and brain.
The program of the evening wa
arranged TO demonstrate the ei
fectiveness OF courses already o
the school program in developin
the Important coordination betwee
hand and eye which now is con
sidefed vital to the nation.
The speaker of the evening wa
Miss Eleanor LindstrOm. art tea
cher in the Georgetown Higl
School,. who arranged a complet
and carefully worked out char
showing the various phases Of ac
tivity which are covered in a mod
ern art program. Her theme wal
..Art and Living" She illustrated
with chart and examples of wOrl
done by the students how complete
ly the art program covers the ele'
mentary skills required OF workers
in the Industrial world. Examples
In the exhibits included the mold
ing of raw clay and firing 1t much
as the brick maker would; work
which required students to work
carefully in various kinds of metal
and wood. and work which de-
manded ability in expressing ideas
by drawings as is required of in
dnstrial plans and pattern makers
II developed from the demon
stration that the most important
step In improving the scope OF
such a program in the schools is to
provide more time for art and
shop which are periods in which
this most important training in the
coordination of hand and mind is
developed.
