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.
