EXPLORING THE WATER

On a sunny morning the water is
sparkling, fishing boats unload their

in the air, and an urge to explore,
which in these days of restrictions

book.

PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Katherine Gibson, I6,
xzs~h 0nk,~al


On windy day in March the
Just Us Club was organized. 1t has
since been working successfully as a
girls organization with this motto
in mind: I'VE strive not to put off
till tomorrow what we can do for
today" The clubs work has been
social, educational and adventurous.
Recently the club had as its guest
Mrs. Oden, who has for quite some
time worked with young groups. On
this particular Sunday the club had
round-table discussion of THE
Negro and the Postwar World"
For the past month the club has
devoted most of its time to working
with the Red Cross and through this
organization it has taken to Walter
Reed Hospital materials made and
donated by members. One Sunday
in June the club carried to Walter
Reed jigsaw puzzles, magazines,
pamphlets and puzzle cards. These
materials seemed greatly appreciat-
ed by the Red Cross.
Only through the aid and guild
ance of our supervisor, Miss Elnora
Woods, have these various trips and
projects been successful The men,
bers of the club are Doris Gibson,
president; Doris Wright, vice presi-
dent; Christine Wright, secretary;
Nancy Champion, financial secre-
tary; Elizabeth Holmes, treasurer;
Josephine Myers and Romaine Bell,
business managers, and Lillian Nc
Reynolds and Katherine Gibson,

produced as decalcomanias, and
burned into the china. -Four old
Flowing Blue" Staffordshire pieces,
for instance, show the landing Of
Gen. Lafayette at Castle Garden,
New York City, on his triumphal
visit in 1924. The first transfer
wares from Staffordshire were in
dark, rich color, which reflected the
taste for Oriental blue and Dutch

was that It's deep tone also hid
imperfections. Later in the 10th
century lighter colors were used

Pre.CiviI Var Quilt
Although chinaware dominates
the exhibition, there are other OBJ
jects. A quilt made in 1857 is out
standing. It's colors are bright, but
not clashing. Originality is dem
onstrated in the needlework, and
also in the use of materials that
simulate the subject, in a few in
stances-feathers on an eagle and
a sprig suggesting pineapple COW
ering. Lines drawn in ink complete
the picture.
This belongs in the realm of folk
arts and demonstrates the wide
spread hunger for beautiful things.
and the resourcefulness of those
who had no access to them, unless
they made their own. That so many
of these old quilts are still In re-
markable condition is due to the
fact that they were cherished pos
sessions, carefully laid away except
for special occasions.
In a case of wedding finery are
four beautiful fans, the work of
skilled craftsmen and artists and
hence quite different in origin from
the quilts. One fan has spangled
feathers on pierced sandalwood
sticks, another white lace on
mother of pearl sticks, third is
of painted paper.
These and many other objects

work of which they're proudest is
selling War Bonds and Stamps. Up
to last week they'd sold about 50 1000

Few cities in the world have
seemed so important to so many
people as Jerusalem. Christians,
Jews and Mohammedans look upon
it today as holy place, and in
months to come there will be news
about it. The fate of Palestine, of
which Jerusalem is the capital, has
not yet been settled.
Jerusalem has a written history
which goes back 3,400 years. It was,
at an early date, an outpost in the
Egyptian empire. Later 1t became
a center for the people Of Canaan.
King David and his soldiers took
Jerusalem from the Canaanites and
that was the start of its history as
Jewish city. 1t remained In the
hands of the Jews for more than
four centuries. Then it fell before
the armies of Babylonia.
Freed by Cyrus.
After about half century of
Babylonian rule, Jerusalem was
freed, in a sense, by Cyrus, King of
Persia. Under Cyrus the people of
Jerusalem were able to build up
their city again.
In later centuries, Jerusalem was
attacked and occupied by Greeks
and Romans. The Romans held 1t
in their empire during the time Of
Jesus.
One Of the most exciting chapters
In Jerusalems history opened in the
year 66. Then it was that the Jews
rose in revolt and drove the Ro-
mans outside the walls of their old
capital.
The Roman Emperor was slow in
ing anything about the revolt,
but at length he sent his son Titus
to Palestine at the head Of an army.
Besides Roman soldiers, there were
Arabs and Syrians in this army.
Titus, at the time, was only 30.

alton of Educational Experience in
the Armed Forces" for use by edu-
Gators. Second, it worked out a
standard form on which soldiers
could report certified records Of
their in-service training and SUD-
NIT them to whatever school they
plan to attend after leaving the
Army. Third, the Army developed
set of tests which would measure
the result both Of in-service train
ing and general educational compe-
tence.
Student Classification.
1t was recognized in connection
with these tests that mere state
ment of courses completed and ex-
animation marks on each would not
give completely accurate index of
the ex-serviceman's educational de-
velopment. Some soldiers, 1t was
realized, would broaden their back
ground knowledge by travel, by self
education, by general reading and
by on-the-job experience. These
tests will provide the veterans Sc
lected school with an accurate idea
of his general educational develop
ment and may, in some instances,
result in his being classified ahead
of the group in which he would be
placed on the basis of his class work
alone.
The Veterans Administration has
established program for aiding re-
turned servicemen to receive proper
placement in schools upon their re-
turn from the war. Also the Ameri-
can Council on Education has set
up veterans testing service which
will give specified Army examina-
tions and forward the results to
whatever school the serviceman
plans to attend.
Gen. Eisenhower said recently that
the Army education program prom
ises mo miracles" But it is de-
signed, he said, to enable men who
return home from the war to face
"the new challenges of civil life. .

The Corcoran Gallery of Art has
one of his last works-a large can
vas-"Sunset in the Woods" pur-
chased for the Corcoran Gallery in
July, 1891. At the time of purchase
he wrote, "The idea is to represent
an effect of light in the woods

imagination to predominate."

eral made a scouting trip around
the city walls, in company with
900 cavalrymen. Suddenly, one of
the gates was flung open, and out
rushed Jewish soldiers who sent
darts, arrows and javelins flying
thick and fast at the enemy. The
Romans retreated in haste, Titus
receiving wound.
Recovering from his wound, Titus
directed his foot-soldiers and others
to set UP battering rams and siege
towers. Some of these towers were
80 feet high. The Jews made other
sorties, and tried to set fire to the
siege engines, but they were driven
back.
The Romans were at last able to
scale the outer walls of Jerusalem,
despite the boiling oil and great
stones which the defenders Drop
ped on them. In the following
weeks, they were able to cross the
second wall barrier, but the Jewish
soldiers fell back into the area of
the Temple Of Jerusalem. The
temple area also was guarded by
walls.
Romans Won Temple.
The temple was stubbornly de-
Tended, but the Jews ran short Of
food. Weak from hunger, they were
beaten down by the Romans. The
temple was sacked, and In large
part was destroyed. Many of the
people In Jerusalem were put to
death or sold into slavery.
Thus ended a strong attempt Of
the Jews to free Jerusalem. Since
that time, the city has had a varied
story. Romans and Mohammedans
have controlled 1t most Of the time,
but Christian Crusaders held power
there for 80 years during the Mid
die Ages. 1t was under the power
