If a little milk is added to the water
in boiling, old potatoes will not turn
dark.
Rice, if washed in hot water instead
of cold, will be freed from starch and
dirt more quickly.
If bacon Is soaked a few minutes In
water before it is filed It will retain
more fat than If cooked in the ordi
nary way. The addition of a few drops
of lemon juice and a dash of paprika
greatly improve its flavor.
A paste of three parts of flour and

copper utensils quickly.
To make good bread it must be
kneaded a lot, at least kneaded down

After the dishes are finished at night

Announcements
ters inviting people to attend the N.
E. A. in Portland and incidentally
telling of the attractions of the
Grande Ronde valley. Tho work in
arithmetic was made more interest
ing through drill work on tables and
drill in rapid addition, subtraction
and multiplication. Drill on correct
forms made language work interest
ing and effective. In geography the
pupils learned about land and water,
sunshine, and where rain and snow
came from. The origin of plants.
animal food, clothing and shelter was
also studied. The work along these
things was to compare our needs with
tho needs of other people. Many ar
ticles such as wheat, tea, coffee, rice,
real cotton plant and thread were
given. The history work was made
interesting by reading a number of
interesting stories. The geography
work was taken up in the same man
ner as the third grade only more dif
ficult. Language work and plan of writ
ing letters to people outside of city
was carried on, this of course was
done in all grades and as a result
over 1000 invitations were sent out
by La Grande girls and boys asking
people to come to Oregon in the sum
mer. Coming to the fifth grade we find
boys and girls are equipped with text
books for all of their studies. In
this grade we find drill work becomes
more difficult and more extensive.
Geography furnishes a channel for
greater amount of original work such
as making of salt maps, bringing in
sample products and pasting them on
jme.ps, on notebooks and using outline
maps for loeatm of cities. The vis
j iting of the wool car and O. A. C. ex
tensin car helped to clinch some of
:the work previously studied.
In the sixth grade we begin our
departmental work where the teacher
has the opportunity to teach the
grade she likes best and where the
pupils begin to learn to do good work
for more than one instmctor. The
art work was carried further than
other grades and all pupils made in
terior house scenes that harmonized
throughout. In this grade pupils be
gan reaching out in geographical
study by writinir a number of letters
j to commercial clubs in other cities
and coi responding with other pup'lg
in other cities. These pupils had the
use of the geographical readers. This
gave them a mere accurate idea of
what was to be found in other coun
tries than our own. All sixth grades
in all buildings wrote letters, saw
bird pictures, heard the various lec
'tures and saw pictures of industries
sent out by the extension department
of the University of Oregon.
The seventh grade people wirote a
gieat many compositions, learned
many poems, competed against each
other in the -minimum essential tests
in language and arithmetic. They
gave a number of ; interesting pro
grams during the year and made use
of the school store, where they
learned to buy and sell bv going
through the actual process of pur
chase. Many essays were written in
this grade.
The eighth grade classes in gram
mar wrote letters to the stock raisers
to attend the N. E. A. and essays on
good roads, three of which were com-
motfded very highly by members -of
tho commission. Letters we're also t
written to friends in other Oregon
towns. This grade practically per
formed the work taking up the min
imum essentials in lamruace and
arithmetic. Funds were raised by
these pupils for the Belgian's aid,
and Boys' and Girls' society.
in final examinations 90 tier cent
of all passed successful examinations
given by the state department and re
ceived 8th grade diplomas entitling
the bearer to enrollment in the high
school as freshmen.
Tho report of the work of the high
school will appear in a later edition.
