Time Wasted

There is unanimous agree
ment among the seniors that
classroom time is too often
wasted on matters totally un-
related to the subject being
taught.
I'VE have teachers who spend
the first part of the period dis
cuSsing what we'll be studying
that day and the second part
telling US about their vacation
experiences" a student COM
planned.
II feel we are not pushed
hard enough in high school, "
said an Anacostia senior. They
don't make you think enough. "
Another observed. There is
too much spoon-feeding."
1t was brought out that
classroom time waste is due to
the often too lenient
disciplinary measures teachers
take"
A Wilson student blamed
time wasted on crowded class
rooms.
You cannot expect a teacher,
with students from varying
economic, social and intelli-
gence levels in a class. to teach
q subject without slowing down
the pace for slow students" a
girl student observed, and
added:
What would solve the prob
lem is a continued classif1ca-
ton of teachers and students.

A Personal Seal
This china is decorated in
deep blue and gold, and each
piece bears the personal seal
of the President of the United
States instead of the Great
Seal of the United States.
The same service was used
in the Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover Administrations.
President johnson used the
Lincoln china and President
Taft the Theodore Roosevelt.
The Lenox company again
was responsible for the
Franklin Roosevelt china.
The President himself de-
signed much of the border
pattern of this white cobalt
and gold china.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison
was the only other member
of a presidential family to
take a hand in china de-
sign. She was responsible for
the cornstalk and flower
border of their Haviland
china.
The Truman china was Sc
lected in 1852, following the
renovation of the White
House and is also from
Lenox. The colors are teal
green and gold. The only
thing added during the Eli
senhower administration are
the Castleton service plates.
Their rims are of raised me-
dallion pattern in pure gold
coin.
There is a definite mod

last two administrations.
In the Truman collection

Mrs. Eisenhower is in the
market for some china, but
not for herself.
One Of the great interests
of the Presidents wife is the
White House China Room
which acontains pieces of
presidential china repre-
senting a period of nearly 200
years
The fabulous historical COL
lection, however, is not COM
plete. There are five admin
istrations which are not rep
sented by so much as a
saucer, and Mrs. Eisenhower
would like this situation
remedied.

was on display on two shelves
of two walnut cabinets in
the lower corridor of the Ex-
ecutive Mansion. This is the
spot where it is reported
that young Quentin Roosevelt
tson of Theodore ROOSEVELT
used to roller skate, and the
collection almost came to a
crashing end.
New Cabinets
Mrs. Edith Boiling Wilson
had a room set apart for the
exhibit with built-in cabinets
and glass doors. Following
toms administration is a
Truman administration, the
collection was placed in new
cabinets, and last year the
reorganization was COM
pleted.
The largest part of the coll
lection comes from the Lin
coin administration with
pieces of three sets-the
Buff and Gold" and the well
known Royal Purple" state
dinner services, and then sew
eral pieces of Royal Wor-
cester from President Lin
coins summer White House

Included among the few
pieces from George Washing
tons administration is a
sugar bowl, cup, saucer and

OF Historic Importance
This china has great his
toric Importance. The As
piece Van Braam set was
given to the first President
by his fencing teacher. The
letters NV are in the center
enclosed by a wreath of
leaves. A chainlink border is
made up with the names of
the first IS States in the
Union.
In the early days of the
White House, sentiment was
strong for using articles made
in this country, and in 1926
Congress passed a law to the
effect that wherever possible
equipment should be bought
in this country.
However, it was not until
the Woodrow Wilson admin
iStration that American-made
china graced the table in the
state dining room of the
White House.
President Enraged
When Theodore Roosevelt
was President he was enraged
at the suggestion that foreign
china be purchased.
He repeatedly roared at his
secretary, "Is it possible that
we are dependent upon
foreign factories for the very
dishes froms which the Chief
Executives of the United
States must eat?"
However, after much
searching, the admission was
made that there was nothing

CARE OF COTTONS

Perhaps you've found out the
hard way that some of today's
cottons need special care. What
with all the new fashions, it's no
wonder.
Some of these finishes are plas-
tic in character and have quail
ties similar to the man-made fl
bers. In caring for these cottons,
pretreat the heavily soiled areas
and use low washing, rinsing and
drying temperatures. Don't wiring
or twist these plastic-finished cot
tons and use smaller washing ma
chine and dryer loads.
Glazed chintz, polished, and
embossed cottons may be washed
gently by machine or hand, but
don't soak. Rinse quickly in luke
warm water. Don't wiring, twist,
or rub. Drip dry and while
slightly damp, iron glazed cottons
on glazed side with a warm iron.
Iron embossed cottons on the
wrong side over a turkish towel
so the raised surface is not ironed
flat. These crease-resistant fin
ished cottons that are so good
for school need special treatment
too. Pretreat heavily soiled areas
before washing. Otherwise, the
soil may combine with the finish
during washing and become per-
manent.
Chlorine-type bleaches on some
crease-resistant fabrics will cause
the fabric to streak or turn yell
low. A new kind Of cre~ase-resist-
ant finish, however, has been de-
veloped which is not affected by
chlorine-type bleaches. Look for
the labels that state that the fab
ric resists following and damage
from chlorine-type bleaches.

BEEF GRADES
By Janet Redgren

You'll be seeing more beef at
meat counters than you've seen
for some time, the US. Depart
ment of Agriculture reminds fam
lily food shoppers. Large supplies
of choice beef will be coming in
with the seasonal supplies of
lower-grade beef. Prospects are
that October will be a good month
to buy beef for the home freez-
err.
A point for beef shoppers: The
top grade and the most expensive
cut is not necessarily the best buy
of the meat that offers most in
nutritive value. Different grades
and cuts suit different cooking
uses. When you shop, think first
of how you plan to cook the meat,
then select grade and cut accord
ingly.
The abundance of Choice grade
beef makes it of special interest
now. More Choice is produced
than any other grade. 1t comes
from young animals and the lean
part is nicely "marbled' with fat
SO that it is tender, juicy and
flavorful but usually contains
less fat than the higher grade,
Prime.
One of the advantages of this
Choice grade is that many cuts
can be cooked by different meth
DDS. For example, Choice top
round may be broiled, pan-fried
or praised, as for Swiss steak.
whereas lower grades are not ten
der enough to broil or pantry.
Similarly, Choice rump roast may
be roasted in the oven or made
into a pot roast whereas lower
grade rump is not tender enough
for oven roasting. Choice blade
chunk also may be an oven roast
or a pot roast, as you prefer. This
is an adaptable grade of beef that
can give variety to meals because
it can be cooked in so many diff
ferent ways.

His first assign ment was as a drill sergeant in a Texas camp. Someone had seen the word director" on his forms and decided a director ought to make a swell drill sar- geant.
 One day call came from the c. O. to report pronto. "You Kanin?" asked the Colonel. "Yes, sir, Kanin answered. The Colo nel scrutinized the spindly young rookie for full two minutes, then dismissed him. A lieutenant lat CT explained that the Colonel had been going over the records and had noted that Kanin's sal ary was listed at $25O0 a week. He had just wanted to see what a man who earned that kind of money looked like.

New Alaska University To Be Dedicated In June
VANCOUVER. B. C., R-Alaska

VANCOUVER, B. C., lR-AlaSka is suffering a "dearth of leader ship" because only five per cent of it's youth who attend U. s. universities return to the terri tory to live, an American Meth odist bishop said here Tuesday.
 Bishop A. Raymond Grant of Portland, Ore, who has charge of Methodists in Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and Alaska, said in an interview that the new Alaska Methodist University at Anchorage will be dedicated in June partly because of this sit uatiOn.
 About $2,OOO,0OO has been raised so far toward cost of the university which will have 12 buildings.
