FULL VALUE OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL IS SHOWN .Luncheon at Smallwood Building Directs Attention to Useful, Wholesome and Practical Education There. An extra edition of & newspaper fis ® signal to the public that sumething of great Interest or Importance has suddenly develope The Reporter, ofiicial organ of the Smallwood-Bowen Manual Training aed” shortly after ncon Something of intense the school and all those Interest concerned had happened. “Noted Guests Dine at Smallwood,” to Tead the bold black-face headiine mcross’ the entire front page of the paper. “Party, Including School Board Members, Officlals and Promi- nent Citizens, Have Dinnmer in Do- mestic Science Department, and Then Inspect School.” Undoubtedly, the event was an epoch-making one, and was well de- scrving of the. extra edition. it the Reporter tell the story “A party, which included members of the school board, school offictals and prominent citizens Interested in ducation, visited the Smallwood | ol today on a tour of inspection. Before going on thelr rounds, the ed party was entertalned at a dinner by the girls of Miss Davis’ SE class in domestic science, who prepared and served an excellent meal.

If space had permitted the porter” probably would have into elaborate details to describe the preparations for the sumptuous din- ner served the “noted guests.” The extra edition, however, was limited to two small pages and space would not permit superfluous details. On the other hand. the pupil scribes and editors probably were cognizant of the fact that mot comprehensive| descriptions. but cold facts are all that is demanded of an extra paper. Re- menu for the feast de resistance the mirls prepared and served per-| haps was the most important feature | of the program Starting with * luscious eold cantaloupe, it included peppers stuffed with lamb and served with tomato sauce, potatoes au gratin, which had been can-} ned by the girls; hot biscuits, coffee, | pear. pineapple and grape salad, also put up by the girls; cheese straws, strawberry ice cream and cake. Important, too, Is the fact that the pupils of the Smallwood School, be- sides preparing and serving the din- ner, made virtually everything that entered into its completeness, includ- ing the furnishings. Even the big dining table and chairs, the table- cloth, embroidered napkins, the calcimined partition which furnished the wall separating the dining room from the kitchen, and the plctures SPECIAL NOTICES. ¢ | boys learn. is ex-| gone | on the ‘wall* were the handiwork of the children. : The dinner was designed primarily to show the school/officials and the prominent business men precisely | what the pupile of this strangely in- teresting and unique &chool can ac- complish along vocational lines, in addition to making high averages In their academic studtes. niqueness of School. The Smallwood-Bowen School, lo- cated n the heart of Southwest Washington, I8 unusual for two rea- sons. First, because there {8 not an- other school of its type in Washing- ton. and probably not In the United States; and, secondly, because the Duplls, girls as well as boys, learn practical vocations, which adequately fit them to enter either the industrial or matrimonial world. The latter, of course, fs referred more directly to the girls. Of secondary Importance that the school not only fs benefiting the pupils, but is exerting its in- fluence on” the home through them. , Things these pupils have learned In school their parents have profited by tmmensely. To a visitor at the Smallwood School |—and there have been many in the past year from all sections of the United States, as well as Cansda— it appears as a bechive of industry. | Boys at benches assiduously and painstakingly making a beautiful par- | lor table or tapping thelr own shoes; girls making hats and dresses which they will later wear, or learning the fundamental duties of a housewife— i to cook, the proper way to make a bed and clean the house, the proper method of setting the dinner table and hundreds of other things so | necesgary for a modern housewife to | know. | But domestic art and domestic | science and Its kindred subjects are not all that the girla learn at the Smallwood School.

Ten Academic Classes. There are ten academic classrooms in the Smallwood and Bowen build- ings, four of which are in the former jschool. All the manual training and | domestic sclence classem however, are Jocated in the remaining roms of the Smallwood bullding, which, be- cause of its numerous activities, is pressed for the lack of sufficfent space. Every available inch in ‘the | Smallwood School is used for some purpose. The hall on the main floor has been converted into a storage room for the chairs, tables, beds, cedar chests and other things made by the boys. The principal has been forced to utilize the landing leading from the first to the second floor for his office, while in the same space on the opposite side of the bullding is cramped the boys' shoe repairing shop. On the main floor of the Smallwood School are located the domestic art, domestic science and housekeeping classes, and woodworking shops, while the mechanical drawing and academic classrooms are on the floors above. Sheet metal and other shops are In the basement, while theiprint shop is in one @ the flimsy por‘atles hard by the school. To specify all the useful and valu- able things turned out by the boyvs and girls of the Smallwood-Bowen School during the year would Indeed be difficult. Principal Smith's answer to this question is: “Everything from cradles to cof- fins.” Several Cradles Made. A number of cradles already have been made. Thus far, however, the boys have mot been called upon to make a coffin, although they could doubtless do it. Nevertheless, Principal Smith's ' answer is completzly borne out by the exhibifs in the improvised storage room in the central corridor of the school. During the current school year, the boys have made in the wo>d rhops several grafonolas, a number o SPECIAL NOTICES.

C, JUNE 11, 1922—PART 1 PRACTICAL EDUCATION GIVEN AT THE SMALLWOOD VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL A Tuncheon given last week at the school directed attention to the value of the school's classes, for practieally everything Upper left: Among those present at luncheon (left to right, aitting)—Mixx M. E. Davis, teacher of domestic acience; W Anna Beers, supervising principal, eighth division of the public school Ballou, superintendent of schools, and W.

Lower left—Printing shop. benches for kindergarten classes in the schools of the several divisions, cedar chests, dining room tables, beds and other useful articles of furniture. One boy turned out a complete bed- room set. Much of the work of the boys has been presented to the various public schools In need of such articles with- in the scope of their activities. Many screen doors have been given to the domestic science schools, and a num- ber of small benches have been pre- sented to the kindergartens, thereby saving the school syste money which otherwise would have had to be appropriated for such equipment. In fact, Principal Smith estimates that the furniture given the different chools which has been made by the would alone v the salaries of achers of tive of the valu: Mr. Smith poi that virt hle work of ts with pride ally all the the Smaliwood School by them. When man- ual training wis first established at the school in November, 1914, the en- tire equipment of the building con- sisted of two stoves and a teacher’s desk which had been taken from an- other school. Gradually the boys added to this until now the school is satisfactorily equipped with —desks and chalrs for the pupils and other requisite furnishings of a school of the type of the Smallwood. Cobbling Course Interesting. One of the most interesting and novel subjects taught the boys is shoe repairing. Besides tapping their own shoes, an item of expense to every parent, the boys have repaired more than 100 pairs of badiy worn shoes the Disiri gress of Mothers Parent- Assoc ns. when brought v evidence of they wero re- has been m 1d sher Many of these into the shop gave e But useles paired in a manner Suggcsting the ork of an experienced cobbler, and distributed, through the organization, to the poor and needy school children whose parents were unable to send them to school because they could not afford to purchase shoes. In this case the boys not only are learning a profitable trade, but at the same time are contributing to charity. In the sheet metal shop the boys also have made many useful articles which were welcomed into thelr re- spective homes. Among them are bis- cuit cutters, doughnut cutters, tin cups, liquid quart measures, flaring pans, funnels, hand scoops, buckets, dishpans, refrigerator pans, coffes pots, washtubs, bathtubs, garbage cans, furnace pipes, wash boilers and flour and sugar cans. In the print things other than pub shop, the boys do Rish the school aper. Their work includes the Eri‘nl(ng of posters and notices of| school activities, hand bills, book- i and the making of post card tant tasks this year was the print- ing of strips of tickets for the mid- motning luncheons being served in the graded schools under the direc- tion of the parent-teacher associa- tions or mothers’ clubs. Seventy-five thousand tickets already have been printed, ZD.MD;; wll'llch were taken by ‘erson_School (h;tjegh:' present time the project engaging the attention of the print- {ng class is the making of a series of large letters of the alphabet, walch will be placed around the black- boards of every schoolroom in the District. 'These letters are belng printed from wood cuts made in the carpenter shop. i Modern Housewife Cours Equally as important as the boys’ vocational work is that given the girls in training them to be model and eficlent housekeepers. They not only learn Wow to cook, to sew, to keep a home, but all the fine points of etiquet and what fqods and liquids they should and should not eat and drink, from a health standpoint. As a matter of fact, the girls get a gen- eral idea of practically everything that & modern housewife should know. HEven the methods of prepar- ing and following a family budget enter into the course of study. Parents of the girls In the school have been greatly benefited, finan- cially, by the inexpensive but pretty dresses and hats made in the domes- tic art classes, where the girls are chairs, | taught everything from millinery to ladies’ tailoring. In these classes the girls have made virtually all their own clothes for use this summer, in addition to some for their younger sisters at home. In most Instances the plain organdy dresses did not cost more than $1 or $1.25. The cost of the hats ranged from 85 cents to $1.50, according to the elaborateness of the adornments placed on them. It is said thet 2 majority of the hats could not be duplicated in the stores at less than $5 and $10. In the fourth grade both the boys and girls get instruction in toy mak- ing and manual training, which | proves valuable to them in subse- quent years of their school life. Chair caning, basketry, bookbinding and applicd designing are taught the boys and girls in the fifth grade, while the foore technical and advanced work al- ready described is left for the chil- dren in the higher grades. Discussing the activities of her pu- pils, Miss Davis, the domestic sclence teacher, said that when she entered the dpmestic science classroom, years ago, the equipment consisted of two stoves and not another article of fur- niture. Girls Make Tablecloths. “While we were waliting for our equipment,” she sald, “my girls made tablecloths, napkins, sheets, various kinds of towels and curtains, pre- paring for a housekeeping school which_was to be a new departure in cur school system. The carpenter shop, under Mr. Smith, began making the necessary furniture for our room and the sewing school put up partitions to divide the room into an apart- we have an appropriately ©d apartment that would com- ably house a small family. The s made kitchen dressers. tables, dining room extension table, sewing table, leather upholstered chairs and table for the living room; also a bureau, chest of drawers and chairs for the bedroom. For the sewing room they made individual tables, chairs and closets for their work. “Bosides, the boys have made the equipment for the domestic solence schools started by Miss Jacobs. Dur- ing the war they made large beds and bed tables for the American Red Cross army camps, which are now in use at Walter Reed Hospital. Allthe new tin cups, buckets, biscuit and |cake cutters we have used this year jwere made by the boys in the sheet metal shop, while all the Drln(lng of recipes, invitations and the binding of recipe books was done by the bo)’l( in the print ship. They printed all ithe notices for the Parent-Teacher | associations of the Thomson and Powell | echools, and so pleased were the organi- { zations that a few werks ago they gave a party in honor of the boy i “The domestic sclence girls besides | | their household work, which consists of | cooking, laundry, sweeping, dusting, scrubbing, learning to make beds prop- erly, care hyglenically of the bathroom and sewing, they made forty-six con- talners of grape juice, jellles and pre- serves, in addition to canning vege- tables and fruits used during the year. They also learned how to put up eggs for winter use when the cost was al- most prohibitive. “The last week was housecleaning week, and the girls put away blankets, washed curtains, calcimined the rooms, etc. Last year after calcimining one of the girls reported that her mother wanted a room done in a similar man- ner and regretted the expense and her inabllity to find some one to do it. This girl assured her mother that she could do the work, having learned to cal- cimine in Bchool. Ultimately her mother agreed, and when she started to work the mother helped her. They did all the side walls, and when the father came home from work he cal- cimined the ceiling. Taught to Keep Budget. ““ urso, this is what we are (ryl(:fl ‘:: do—to tedch the xirls to put the knowledge they acquire into practical use in the homes and Felp them in future years to maks their own homss attractive ' and livabfe.

This has brought forth much discussivn &5 IHOVER COAL PLAN TOHAVE FREE PLAY Senatorial Objection With- drawn Pending Test of Moral Suasion. Senatorial objection to the adminis- tration's efforts to prevent rising coal prices was withdrawn yesterday. pending a demonstration of the cess of Secretary Hoover's program of meeting the situation by moral persuasion, while assurances of co- operation were given the Commerce Secretary in his efforts by the Na- tional Retail Coal Merchants' Assocla- tion. Roderick Stephens of New York, chairman of the board of dirfctors of the Retail Coal Association, wrote Mr. Hoover that his organization would immedlately study the specific sug- gestions offered as a policy for the guldance of the retail coal trade. Developments in the coal price con- troversy since his conference with Senator Borah Friday night were re- garded yesterday by Mr. Hoover as giving him the support and co-opera- tion necessary to push his program of “moral persuasion” to kecp charges for fuel from climbing during the emergency. “Senator Borah's useful warnin, Mr. Hoover said last night, In a state- ment, “that no ald or comfort will be glven from the committee of the Sen- ate, of which he {s chairman, to those who have refused to co-operate in the voluntary plan of restraining coal —_— c- well daifrerant times. “We have many friends whe are interested in our school. They be- lieve it to be a splendid school for this neighborhood and have often ex- pressed the hope that one like it could be located in each school division. Dr. Charles Wood, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, who visited the school recently, was so pleased with the work that he referred to it in his sermon the following Sunda: Hundreds of prominent educators and business men of Washington and elsewhere, who have visited the Smallwood, as Miss Davis pointed out, agree that it is a remarkable institu- tion, and voiced the opinion that more like it should be established in Wash- ington. Undisputed facts will show that where children are given a va- ried assortment of manual training in connection ~ with their academic studies thelr schoo] life becomes more interesting. Consequently, they usu- ally remain in school until gradua- tion, while otherwise many of them undoubtedly would leave schoel in the lower grades.

White House Police Bill Goes to House After Jones’ Action. Senator Jones of Washington yester- day withdrew a motion made by him Friday to reconsider the vote by which a bill establishing a White House police force was passed. The effect of Senator Jones' action Is to send the bill to the House for consiceration.
