THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
11 AMPTON'S "GU MPTION" CLASS.
A special course is provided at Hamp
ton Institute for those Senior and Grad
uate girls who are making special prep
aration to teach in the rural schools.
This course consists of a limited amount
of practice and instruction in a number
of the needs coin n ion to every home, a
knowledge of which is in constant de
mand and should therefore form a part
of the training of a country teacher, in
as much as she is often the only one who
can give the required help. The teacher
should not only know what these needs
are, but should be able to show selected
pu pi Is h ow to supply t hen) and thereby
increase her power and usefulness in the
home and community.
The subjects taken up are chair-caning
and repairing, corn-shuck mat making
shoe and harness repairing, netting, sol
dering and riveting tin ware, painting,
cutting and fixing window glass, simple
repairs to doors, looks woodwork and
furniture, and making and fixing a shelf.
All of these are demanded everywhere.
The following may not be so generally
needed (although valuable in a smaller
.degree) '. varnishing and renovating fur
niture, removing old varnish and paint,
the care of painted work and floors;
in snort, anything of a like nature which
may be needed in a rural home.
To solder a hole in a tin vessel is gen-,
erally exceedingly simple and gives it a .
new lease of life. A patch or a sole an a
shoe may enable a child to attend school
who otherwise could not. A repaired
window may add much to the comfort of
the home and all at little expense in
either material or equipment. Southern

After the rough and tumble game
with Albany the night, before, none of
the O. A . 0. players were in condition to
play a good $mme with Chemawa Satur
day, March 6th, and reaction of the long
strain and over-work had come to the
debater, s to which dilapidated condition
the overwhelming score of 21 4 in favor
of Chemawa attests. Chemawa simply
played rings around their visitors with
apparent ease. In every play, passing,
guarding, shooting, team-work and all
the college girls were out done. But C.
I. S, is not a boastful victor and proved
herself a royal hostess and the time
spent at Chemawa was highly enjoyed
by all.
On the next Friday night,; March 13,
the score with Chemawa read somewhat
different for both sides, 9-6 in favor of
O. A. 0. Excellent team work as well
as individual starring was the plan of the
evening's game. 0. A. C, critics agree
with all authorities of the state that
Miss Souvenir of Chemawa is the best
foward in the State and yet she made
no baskets in the game on 0. A. C.'s floor.
For good, clean, fast, basket ball, the
Chemawa girls without question play
the best game of any of the teams that
0. A. C: has played this year. 0. A. 0.
