DOMESTIC SCIENCE NO LONGER AN EXPERIMENT. feadle Uz, ‘A Way far Work Along Practical Lines Has Been Opened. Having completed the third year of domestic science for the seventh and eighth grades in the schools, we can no longer feel that it is' 6nly. an ex- periment, says Miss Grace E. Rogers, supervisor of domestic science, in her annual report to Supt. E. J. Graham. Continuing. she says: way for some good work in the very -practical lines ™f home making has been opened but not yet as well established as we wish .that it might When parents come in, as many have thie_past vear, to make such remarks as “This is_a.splendid course which |has been put i{nto the schools. It has ‘done by daughter a great deal of good. She has made everything at home after making it here,” or this, as one mother said: “I consider this the most impor- tant ourse given in the school.” or, as 2 great many mothers have remarked: “I am so glad ‘to have - this course given in the schools. I didn’t know before that my daughter would 'lke to cook. but she-ddes, and has made a great many things at _home for us. When we hear such commendations, sincerely given, we. may surely feel that we have reaped some reward al- ready. But; after all, it is only a good start with what we have to do with. To have it perfected, and better, more thorqugh work done, more time should be given for the work. Bach class is glven ome hour a week, which i3 a very short period in this line of work. _The seventh grade work in the past year has been very similar to that given last year. The practical work s been. the cooking of fresh and cried fruits. vegetables, the 'making. of breads. discuits, muffins, gingerbread, soups, eggs, custards, and a few .simple - desserts. -~ They have aiso learned the value of these foods in-the diet. and how they may be cooked to be the most easily digested. The eighth.grades learned how foods may be preserved, and they made our cloket ehelves very attractive with a £00d * supply of canned tomatoes. peaches. pears, quinces, pepper rel- ish. quince and apple jelly. grape con- serve and orange marmaiade. When these were'sold, the first of March, at | practically, cost price, we received $40 for_them. which we will use for other | auipment. © After thé canning season was over litne practice work was ccntinued in ! the preparation of some kinds of meat [and fsh; a review of bread making. the making of cake, cookies and more desserts. L0 ~Great enthusiasm and some splendid work was shown 4t the end of the sea- som for the last two months when the time was spent on how to properly set the. table and prepare and serve some simple meals. Here. too, we were greatly handicapped for time, as it all kad to be prepared and served in an hour. As we always Jook forward to doing better, more efficient work next vear, so_we shali try to make this course stronger and more thorough with our | present time and eqaipment . hoping that the time may come soon when we can expand and make more of this practical education in our schools Story by Charles F.

TS According to information . received by Robert Scoville, United _States Tood Administer, a nation-wide or- sanization of “war mothers” is to as- sist_in the campaign to secure signers to the Hoover pledge. . This organiza- tion contemplates enlisting the serv- ices of every woman who has a son in the military service of the _United States or a son subject to draft: Herbert Hoover says in regard to the organization: “It is peculiarly fitting that _the mothers of the men who are to fight the nation's battles should enlist in this vitally esacntial service. © They are sending their sons forth to endure the supreme test of citizenship They want their sons to return to them. as soon as the geace of victory. may be achieved. They will hasten the com- ing of that peace by the work they kave undertaken. 3 “In no war which the nation has engagal have the loyalty, -devotion and self-sacrifice of American women ever failed. In no other war have they had a greater . opportunity for service than is offered in the move- ment for conservation of the nation’s food supples. Not- only -does this Tood Administration cordially wel- come the “war mothers” into the ranks of its volunteer workers. but an equal welcome will be extended to the wives and sisters of our soldiers and all wther loyal women who will enlist for a service which President Wilson has said is more than essen- tial than any other which vomen can render. “The Liberty loam must ‘be sub- seribed. But it would be useless to gather this money or prosecute the war if we failed to make sure of the food which will win the war, and the lack of which will- surely iose the war.” 2 LIBERTY CHORUS TO BE ORGANIZED HERE. Volunteer Singers to Assist on Impor- tant Public Occasions. Liberty choruses are to he organized in towns and cities throughout Con- necticut so that, upon important puis- lie asions, the Connecticut state council of defense may call upon them jand be sure of having available patri- otic and inspiring music. ' The singers will all be volunteers and those who I'will train and lead the choruses will give their time to the work. Existing crganizations will be asked to volun- teer in bodies. The plans for thesa Liberty choruses are being perfectesi under the \direct!>n of the publicity committee of the Connecticut state council of defense. J. S. Stevens of Hartford has ac- cepted the appointment as state mu- sical director and, under the direction of the publicity committeé of the council of defense. he has begun the ork of perfectl'sr a statewide organ- tion of Liberiy choruses. He has written to the council’s town commit- tces throughout the state and has ask- €d the chairman of each to recommend the best man in each town or city for| the task of organizing and conducting the local Linverty chortis work: The decision to organize these Lib- erty choruses was. made by the state council pf defense botause it recog- nizes the value of singing to weld the 1tion_together and arousing the “will win” the war.

After an examination of several books of appropriate music_ana con- versations with leaders in_the field of community singing, Mr. Stevens has selected the book which will be used for a time at least by the Liberty choruses. The songs in it are ‘inspir- ing patriotic selections of the - type that makes the blood tingle. The list of loca! organizers and di- rectors’ of Liberty cnoruses will be made public as soon as it is compiled and with the publication of this list it is expected that the recruiting of vol- unteer singers for _the choruses throughout the state will begin with- out delay. EVENING SCHOOL HAD MEMBERSHIP OF 112, Average Attendance Du Was 27.26. The annual report of Fred L. New- ton on the evening school activities shows a total enrollment of 112, with an _average attendance of 27.26. The lead for the local Liberty choruses and a number of replies have been re- ceived. It is expected that all of the town committee chairmen will have replied within a few days and the task of appointing local directors will start. As soon as names of these local di- rectors are announced it is expected that singers, both as individuals and as organizations, will offer their ser- vices as members of the Liberty choruses. The érganization work wiil be completed as rapidly as possible and rehearsals will start so that Lib- arty choruses may be avaiiable for their first public appearance. with a minimum of delay. Mr. Stevens has already arranged for the first public .appearance of a Liberty choris. This will come on Oct. and the Hartford High school, unit No. 1, Liberty choruses of Connecticut, will be heard at the opening. meeting of the Liberty loan rally week, during which a campaign for the sale of Lib- report is as follows The sessions of the evening school were held in Broadway school between the dates of Oct. 3 and Feb. 22, om Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri- The -assigned hours though the members at 7.15 and frequently worked after 9. :The. attendance has not been as lerge as in former vears. due to the decrease In immigration’ and the in- crease in evening work at many shops and mille. These conditions have been widespread and have similarly affected evening schools in all parts of the country. The 'school consisted of five classes. as follows: One for those who could not understand spoken English: the second for those who could understand English but who could read or write little or none: the third for those who could read or ‘write eimple English; the fourth for those who ad. com- pleted at least the equivalent of the fifth grade of the, public school: the fitth for those who wished to secure the educational qualifications for be- coming American citizens. The gub- jects taught in the iirst two groups were reading, writing, spelling, lan guage, phonetics and numerous inc dental matters which would make for better American . citizenship. Those subjects in a more advanced form were continued in the third group and at- tention given to history and composi- tion. In the fourth group especial at- tention was given to business writing, composition and practical grammar. The emphasis in the citizenship class was in civies and practical English. 'here was always manifest in all the classes a2 most commendable spirit of striving to make- the most’ of every opportunity offered. Each = teacher showed a genuine interest in _the progress of the memb: of her class.

The committee on.foed supply and conservation of the. co: authorizes the following statement on home gar- ens: It is hard to estimate the value of grown ' in home gardens. Throughout the United States this movement has been succesfully car- ried on and particularly so in Con- necticut, due to the fact. that: at the start competent men in different cities took hold of the project and’ put. it through under proper, organization. The food supply committee has invit- ed R. LaMotte Russell, who was re- sponsible largely for the success of the Manchester - gardens, to undertake, with Professor Stevens of the Con- necticut Agricultural college, general control of this movement for next year.- Tt is desirable to make an early start in order that ground may be prepared and amateurs warned against bad seed, which lessened the crops this year, and also that home garden- ors next year shall be certain not to grow too large a proportion of perish- able crops. ‘Mr. Russell and Professor Stevens will, associate. with them men in different cities who have had to (o STRONG BY TAKING “My baby. has- taken Father John's Medicine for over two {:ar I have found it very reficial for colds, and to build strength, and I highly recommend it” (Signed) Mrs, Hermas Keromack, 55 Mosher St..
