28 DOMESTIC ARTS WELL UNDER WAY Nearly All Pupils Are Making Rapid Strides in Popular Course i Teachers of Domestic Arts have \heir work well under way at the Edison Junior High School. Every girl In the school is enrolled in these courses. The girls in the Com mercial and Academic sectors will •have one period. The girls in the "Commercial and Academic sectors will have one period in this work each while those who have enrolled •In the Manual Arts courses will have two periods per week. Some special* istudents will have three periods per week. This program can not be carried out. however, until the school is able to operate on a full time basis. In the meantime very satisfactory results are being at tained. Miss March who teaches tlse seventh and part of the eighth grade and Miss Heagy who teaches part of the eighth and ninth grade report 'that fully ninety-five per cent, of the girls throughly enjoy the work and are showing rapid improvement, the girls take great pride in doing neat work and are rapidly learning the 'pleasure that comes from work well done. One of the underlying alms of th" course is to teach the student hov to help themselves and thus serve the community. With this in vicv.- the girls have addressed themselves to the task of preparing linen for the Domestic Science Department. Thus far they have made several hundred towels for the Domestic Science kitchens and upwards of six hundred individual towels for their Individual use while working in the Domestic Science kitchens. The girls of the Domestic Science courses are not only taught how to prepare food but how to serve it at a formal dinner to their Invited guests. For this purpose table linen is necessary and the Domestic Arts girls are making this linen which consists of several table cloths and aeveral dozen napkins. Other girls are at work making covers for the ironing boards which will be used by the Domestic Arts Department. Still other girls are making curtains for the shower baths. Because the girls are helping in this way to pro vide equipment for the school they are acquiring the feeling of personal ownership which will have a marked effect upon the way they will care for this property when using it. They will thus feel that Edison be longs to them. The girls are also making sewing bags in which to keep their scissors, thread, needles and eoforth. needed while pursuing their work in these courses. At the present time the Domestic Arts Department has two sewing machines, five ironing boards, and imany sewing tables. Three more sewing machines will be added in [the near future. The department is boused in two large and well-lighted 'rooms with a fitting and a store room situated between them so that these rooms are easily accessible to the students from either workroom. The school provides all the material 'from which these articles for school rise are made. landing Fields Through Pennsylvania Towns Are Essential For Flyers In line with the policy of the Air Service, Lieutenant J. H. Sullivan appeared before the 20th Annual Convention of the Pennsylvania League of third class cities. Lt. Sullivan selected as his subject the advisability of municipally owned landing fields. He told them about placing the name of the town on the roof of their railway station and the advantages of a municipal map for use in the assessor's department. The value of a municipal aerial photographic map for use in the assessing department was explained by the statement that all natural ad vantages and real estate improve ments, municipal and private, were very plainly shown on such a map. The appraising of valuation of prop erty in a municipality could thus be more fairly made. A definite plan of operation was adopted by the Con vention whereby eachh city inter ested through the administration of the Mayor, would form a committee on aviation in their respective com munity. The functions of this com mittee would be to select a landing field and devise ways and means to maintain it: to arouse public inter est in the development of commer cial aviation.x using their community landing field as an operating center. Among the cities represented at the Convention was Scranton, Pa. It will be noted that Scranton, Pa. is the site of the main field on the Lackawanna Air Trail which was opened recently by the Scranton Aero Club with the co-operation of the United States Air Service. General Ireland Honored by Edinburgh College The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Scotland, has conferred Honorary Fellowship on Major Gen eral Merritte W. Ireland, the Sur geon General of the United States Army. This ancient and famous college decided to mark the termination of the world war by offering its hon orary fellowship to a representative of each group of the medical forces of the British Empire and its Allies, as Indicating appreciation of serv ices rendered. It is explained that Major General Ireland was selected as representing the American Army Medical Corps. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh dates from the year 1505, It conferred only 33 honorary fel lowships from 1671 to 1838 and the ! total number conferred to date does mot exceed 75. General Ireland has been further honored, by an invitation to de liver the address at the Massachu setts General Hospital in Boston on October 17th in celebration of "Ether Day." As early as 1805 inhalations of ether were recommended by a Dr. Warren of Boston and in 1812 ether 'intoxication by inhalation is said •to have been frequently practiced. •It was first used as an anasthetic by 'Dr. C. L. Long, of Georgia, but it i was not until October, 184 6 that Dr. iWarren at the instance of "W. T. G. ' Morton, of Boston, used ether as a surgical anasthetic at the Massa chusetts General Hospital and made Its value public knowledge. A few ,days subsequently C. T. Jackson, of Boston claimed to have first made iknown to Morton the use of ether for the prevention of pain in dental ; operations. MEMORIAL. PARK ADDITION , The Suburb Unparalleled.—Adv.
