VALUABLE SUMMER COURSES OFFERED AT TRADE SCHOOL. State Institution to Be Kept Open and to Give Free Instruction. Plans are being made at the state trade school in Putnam for the opening of summer courses which Will be in session during July and August. In- struction is given at the school in electrical work, textile work, carpen- try, drafting and machine shop work, while in the high school building, which lies adjacent to the trade school, courses in cooking and sewing are of- fered. Last season about 10 boys, mostly from the grade schools, were enrolled in each of the summer depart- ments, except those located at the high school building, where a_much larger number of girls were taking the do- mestic science and sewing courses. This year particular emphasis is to be placed on the cooking and sewing de- partments, and Principal A. S. Boyn- ton is in hopes that 200 or more may be enrolled. These two departments are open to any women ‘or girls ir. the vicinity, and Mr. Boynton is anxious that a large number of housewives avail themselves of the opportunity that the state is offering in these lines of work. The cooking eourse Is to be made especially practical and valuable this summer, and canning courses are to be the principal feature. The conser- vation of farm products will be thor- oughly taught under the direction of Mies Blizabeth Donovan, head of the department, and ail kinds of ‘ruit and vegetables will be preserved. Means of canning products that one does not generally use for such purpose, such as lima beans, squash, corn, string beans and spinach, will be demonstrat- ed, and the most advanced and modern methods practiced. The cold pack method will be used to some extent, and if present plans are carried out, there will be some tin-can canning, as well as the customary glass jar pre- serving. Joining one of the casses in- curs no expense since evervthing usrd is furnished at the school. The courses are purely for instruction, and the canned products will be kept at the school for use @t the pupils’ lunch counter next winter. Equally valuable courses are being arranged in the sewing department un- der the direction of Miss Agnes Os- borne. Here it is planned so that sew- ing will be done upon things that are urgently needed by the Red Cross, and whatever is made at the school will be turned over to that society. Work will be done on all articles frem handker- chiefs and towels to sheets and oper- ating gowns. The only problem yet unsolved is the means of obtaining the cloth with which to work. Mr. Bovn- ton feels, however, that enough wili be donated to keep busy all those who take the course, and he sees no reason why the class in sewing should not be a great success since, while those in it are getting valuable instruction, they are at the same time helping a valu- able cause.
