The juniors in domestic art have just completed their six-week course on blouse-making. The maln purpose has been to teach artistic and eco- nomic standards to be observed in the selectlons of garments according to suitabllity of material, design, cost and ethical value. At the weekly faculty meeting the subject “The Criticilsm of Instruc- tion” was discussed. The discuesion was led by Mr. Minor and Miss Lane. The purpose of this discussion was to bring about co-operation between supervisors, classroom teachers and student teachers. At the close of the dlscussion, Mr. Clark presented to the faculty a graphic explanation of the two types of criticism, the “core type™ and the “sectional” to be put Into use by the supervisory teachers in their visits to the student-teachers now in practice. An acknowledgment has come from Mrs. L. Simms, superintendent of the the §$18 donated by the Social Service Club of the home economics department.

In connéction with a study of in- dividual children, the junior classes in psychology are presenting indis | vldual and group projects in the form of a toy designed and constructed by the student to meet some educational need of the recipient. Each student or group of students is required to explain the educational value of the production in a five-minute talk be- fore the class. The materials used in general are discarded household articles, showing how practical it is to utilize such for the instruction of children through play. A large num- ber of the toys thus made may be used as attractive and forceful teach- ing devices in the classroom. Many dren in our practice schools when Santa makes his rounds.

But we seldom, if ever, stop to real- ize that our Uncle Sam is glving us the' best possible vare for 24 hours a day and 365 days In the year, with the greatest staff of sclentists ever assembled at any time in all the world's history always on guard to safeguard us in hundreds of ways that affect every phase of our dally aotivity. When we wake up in the morning the bed we lle on, the clothes that cover us, the food we eat, the strength of the house we live In, the fuel we use in keeping it warm, the very weather—all matters that we are vitally consclous about—es well as hundreds of other {tems that bear upon our lives without our belng consclous thereof, have been studied Dby this staff of sclentlsts. Uned for Laboratorien. It has been explained to you that Uncls Sam has the biggest workshop in the world. that workshop is given over to labo ratories for these sclentists. Practi- cally every one of the 10 great ex- ecutlve departménts of Government, and the two score of independent es- tablishments, has an Important group of scientists at work. In the Treasury Department we have the Public Health Service, which protects us against epldemics and sees that toxins, s , etc., are all they should ba. Also in the Treasury Department s the Internal Revenue Bureau, with a large staff of sclentists engaged In enforcing the narcotlc and prohibition laws. In the War Department the office of the Surgean General does consider- able acientific research in the fleld of medicine, preventive hygiene, etc. The chlef of ordnance has charge of important investigations regarding explosives. The Chemical Warfare Service has a tremendous new prob- lem with poison gas, etc. The Alr Serviee is constantly ploneering in all branches of science. The Coast Ar- tillery had an intricate and varled scientific task In providing coast defenses. Operates Great Observatory. The Navy Department operates the highly scfentific Naval Observatory. The Hydrographic Office is engaged on deep sea soundings and the mak- Ing of charts and has lately invented | an automatic - device for making soundings. In other sclentific tivities the Navy closely parallels the work of the War Department. The Interior Department has ite sclentific work largely in the Bureau of Mines, the Patent Office and the Geological Survey—though it also has jurtsdiction over St. Elizabeth's (in sane) Hospital and Freedmen's Hos- pital (colored).

Difterence In'Sclence, Now—those who read this article must realize that there is u distine- tion between applied science, which characterizes most of the government work and pure sclence. The former seeks .some immediate, practical re- sult such as the War and Navy De- partments are most interested In. The Smithsontan Institution best repre- sents the pure sclence work. It has no immediate object, but delves into sclence for sclence sake and to add to the sum total of sclentific knowl- edge. It has no practical problem to solve. As examples of work that other de- | |partments are doing to get some prac- tical results that benefits us in our| daily lves— The Bureau of Standards, as its name tells us, secks to set up stand- ards of quality. Then on request it compares articles that enter into our daily life with the standards so as to seo whether we are getting what we ought to get. It tests the dishes from which we eat, the material in the ‘clolhza we wear, the quality of paint thut goes on our house, the tensile strength of the materials used in building our house, whether our watches keep correct time, etc Guards Food Supply. Just as this Bureau of Standards tests what we wear and the house we live in, the Department of Agri- {culture guards our food supply. The Bureau of Chemistry has a whole building in Washington filled with laboratories for testing the purity of food products and other iaboratorles all over the country. The Bureau of {Animal Industry similarly protects us against impure meats and meat products. The Insecticide and Fungl- cide Board guards against improper branding of rat and bug polsons, sprays and other matters that affect | our lives in ways far beyond our| {vision and understanding.

How many of thesc sclentists does | {he employ?” Too many to count, oft| | hand; but—in the recent reclassifica- | | tion of government employes, in the | ‘atlonal Capital, at the seat of Gov- |ernment, it was shown that in the | professional and ecientific service, | there are 4,863 or & per cent of the! whole number of people in the Dis-| {trict; and in the sub-professional service, which may be said to be as-| |slstants to the sclentists, there are| 2,539 persons or 4.65 per cent of all| { the people In the District. So that| | roughly in those two sclent!fic classt- | | fications there are nearly 13 per cent| of the whole number. And while they constitute the! greatest sclentlfic force assembled | anywhere in the world, they do not| draw-large salaries.
