Results of a recent survey of
educational institutions including
Richard Montgomery High School,
Rockville, have been released by
the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
This report, which was received by
Loren Fletcher Schott, principal of
Richard Montgomery High School,
embodies all activities in connec-
ton with the high school curricu-
lum and rates the local high school
as one of the superior institutions
of its kind.
In 1888, George F. Zook, the
United States Commissioner of
Education, called a conference Of
representatives of six regional ac-
crediting associations of the United
States at Washington. The result
of this conference was that a COM
nlittee of educators, from 81 insti-'
buttons in the United States were
chosen to make a study of 200 Sec
ondary schools of the United
States. These schools consisted of
public, private, accredited, nom
accredited schools; large and small
schools from over the entire nation.
The study was to establish norms
and standards by which other
schools could be measured. It
lasted five years, cost 100000;
$180,000 of which was paid by the
Rockefeller Foundation. The
norms and standards which were
established by this study are now
being used to measure secondary
schools all over the United States.
The regular accrediting associa-
ton Of this territory, the Middle
States, sent group of Is educa-
tors to survey Richard Montgom-
cry last year. A summary of the
results of that survey gives the
following figures which should be
of interest to all citizens concerned
with education at Richard Mont
gomery High.

Il Might Be
[Wrong--BUT
By p. G. Stromberg.

As the Selective Service Act
begins to dig deeper into the
young manpower of the nation,
and consequently closer to the
average family, some evident
inequalities become more mani
fest. Such inequalities are not
the result of the workings of
the law, but show the havoc
which actual warfare might
wreak upon the manpower and
futxfe of a nation.
Physical requirements are
such that any defect causes re-
lection of a draftee. The fin
est physical specimens of young
manhood are accepted for serv-
ice while those with fiat feet,
bad eyes, deformed arms or legs,
organic imperfections, mental
DEFICIENCIES or any one or more
of many other defects are re-
jected and simply go on in our
social structure enjoying all the
blessings of democracy and, in
many cases, taking full advan-
tage of high wages resulting
frem the labor shortage. It
seems that some type of service
could be demanded of this
group, thus allowing them to
have a part in the defense pro-
gram. The nation at war and
losing a goodly portion of its
best young men is faced with
future made up of men and
women, many of whom will be
Offspring of these "less-than-
perfect" citizens of today. It
presents gloomy side of the
picture but is as real as the
draft itself.

The war of NERVES" is gradu-
ally developing into a two-sided
affair. With signs of real mill
tary strength in the cast, Eng
land is giving Japan sample of
what might be expected if the
Mikado's government goes too
far. The conquest of Africa and
the landing of thousands of
Australians in Singapore fully
equipped and supported with
what is said to be a dominant air
force, shows what tremendous
programs of military training
and equipment production must
be under way in England and her
possessions
1t shows that England is
gradually reaching a position of
equality in equipment and
trained men. If England wealth
ers whatever storms 1941 might
develop it is likely that by the
spring of 1912 she will unques-
tionably be on equal terms with
or superior to Germany on land,
on sea and in the air. Most
observers agree that if the Axis
powers can win at all the victory
must be achieved this year.

Isolationists exerting every
ounce of energy against the
Lease-Lend bill in Congress are
rather bitter in denunciation of
those of US who see in Britain's
struggle the battle of our own
future. History only can tell
how right or wrong we might
be in throwing our support to
the democratic nations. But we
can't wait for history to record
the answer. We must help to
make history. Right or wrong,
the country wants the Lease
Land bill. All the debate and
hearings in Washington won't
change any votes. The net re-
suit of all the delay is to post
pone full support of England
and days are precious. The
good accomplished by patriotic
speeches is good for "home con-
sumption" but the danger in
volved in delay more than off
sets any advantages.

it should be remembered that air

spread out the sections like a fan.
Griddle cakes and waffle batters
are thin. Since they lump easily
it is often helpful to beat them
with a rotary egg beater.
Cheese keeps we'll, if stored
properly. If soft cream cheese,
sold in tin foil is kept in this tin

it will keep sweet and unstained in

Other cheese may be wrapped in

Season soup to taste before clear

HOT OFF THE
GRIDDLE

Correct arrangement on the
salad plate or in the bowl is all
important to the attractiveness of
a salad. The green's should be
crisp and perky. This goes far to-
ward giving salads a jaunty in
viting air. Let the salad green's
stand up around the salad mixture,
rather than lie flat on the plate.
Cauliflower should be white. A
yellowish color indicates exposure
to the sun and consequent
strong flavor. Dark spots on the
surface are due to decay. The
head should be compact, not spread
as loOseness shows that it's over
mature. The outer leaves should
be green and fresh; if wilted the
head probably has been improper
ly shipped, or is old. Cauliflower
may be sold by the head or by the
pound.
Canned foods usually are sold by
brand. Study brands and learn
their characteristics. Some can
ners pack fancy products under
one brand name, choice under an
other and standard under a third:
Every can label must tell certain
facts about the contents of the
can. But at the present time there
is no standardized system of label
ing to indicate quality and style
Some labels carry much more infor-
nation than others and help the
buyer to choose the food best suit
ed to her purpose.
Delicately tinted frOstings are a
dainty variation, and fit nicely into
menus of definite color schemes.
They may be made by adding a
small amount of coloring to any
white frosting, and blending it
evenly before spreading. Be care
full not TO use too much coloring
for highly colored frostings are
Grass and unappetizing.
To measure granulated sugar,
fill spoon or cup full, then level off
with spatula or case knife. For
cup measurements of brown sugar,
pack brown sugar into cup, press
ing down firmly with back of
spoon. Sift confectioners' sugar
before measuring.
A wooden mixing spoon is light
and we'll adapted to beating cake
batter; it makes little noise and
does not discolor the batter.
