FUNDS IS MAKING PROGRESS
LENTS SCHOOL WILL CLOSE
YEAR'S WORK NEXT FRIDAY
Diploma* of graduation will Im
given to thoHv who have finished the
eighth grade in the l^entt »chool on
Friday, June 18. in spite of the re-
’O -rdlng influence of the “flu" the
work hue been determinedly carried
on ami 88 student» have finiahed the
course.
The M-wing work, under MI m Inez
Barrett, ha» been very aatiafactory
thia year. No school haa done better
work and frw have equalled it. Some
of the girls have completed four gar
ments, which, considering that the
girls sew only a half day every other
«reek, shows commendable attention
and effort. Miss Barrett haa taught
• practical sewing, including darning,
patching, the making of underclothes,
nightclothes, middy blouses and
skirts, bloomers, aprons, and gar
ments for small brothers and sisters.
The first work was hand done en
tirely and then the girls were Initi
ated into the intricacies of machine
work.
The cooking classes have been con
ducted by Miss Ixniiae Botkin. She
haa emphasized the preparation and
combination of practical, wholesome
foods, including cereals, meats, fish,
vegetables, etc., and such desert ac
cessories as plain cakes and simple
puddings
Her aim has been to
teach the girls how to make food
appetising ami nourishing and sani
tary, placing special stress on clean
liness of utensils and room and in
the actual handling and preparation
of the food. She has tried to im
press upon the girls the best and
most time-conserving and correct
ways of food preparation and of us
ing utensils. Once a year the cook
ing classes give a luncheon, thia year
It being given in May. Nest year
Miss Botkin hopes to have groups of
four or five mothers entertained by
the girls at lunch. ,as a means of
teaching the complete meal combina
tion«.
> The kitchen is nicely equip pc* I with
convenient experiment desk, gas
plates, cupboards, granite utensils,
cutlery, etc., and, what is very im
portant, is in well-kept condition.
The last morning, Tuesday of this
week, was spent in reviewing the
year’s theories of cooking and in
scouring the cutlery for safe summer
keeping.
Among those girls who have done
especially good work in the RB grade
are Vera Culver, Emma Flemming
and Agnes Winters. Credits are given
on the basis of general scholarship
in the cooking class, attitude toward
classmates, cleanliness, and orderli
ness. During the year Miss Botkin
has conducted seven regular classes
and one special one, the membership
ranging from 18 to 26.
The manual training classes have
berm in charge of C. J. Piper for the
last two terms. He has been putting
tn good work to raise the quality to
a higher standard. Some of the
things which the beginning clusscs
make include spool holders, bill files,
broom holders und towel holders.
From these the work gruduules up
ward through folding book racks anti
tabourette» to center tables, porch
swings, puzzles and rope work. The
rope work consists particularly of
tying tight knots, ran accomplish
ments especially necessary for boy
scout work. Among the boys lome
have done especially good work. They
are Hubbard Pierson, Donald Davis,
Albert lluturi, Albert and Russel Hus
key, Linwood McCord and Theodore
Berreth. l.inwood McCord haa done
especially good work on a tabourette
which he made In extra hours.
Theodor«- Berreth systematically
avoided the manual training class till
the last term, and then suddenly
woke up to the excellencies of the
training to such a degree that he
spent extra time, in and out of sea
son, and conclude«! his work with a
creditable tabourette. A little nov
elty which haa been shown the boys
by the director is the hocus-pocus
stick.
Mr, Piper wishes the parents to
know that manual training is not in
tended as a carpenter-making course.
It is primarily intended to combin«-
the training of the hea«l and the
hand.
Tho««r who have finished the year's
work under the direction of Professor
A. F. Kershner, together with the
school they expect to attend next
year, are as follows:

PROGRAM AT LENTS
ELECTION OFFICIALS OF
FOUR LENTS PRECINCTS
Reuben Wilson Post, accompanied
by the ladies of the Circle, were es

Thursday afternoon. They entered
the assembly hall to the strains of
"Marching Through Georgia" and
were given a welcome by Professor
Hershner.
All joined in singing

the flag was given. Rev. Smith, of
the Baptist church, offered prayer,

gave short recitations and drills,
which were much enjoyed by all in

exercises the teachers served cake
and coffee, and presented each guest
with a bouquet of roses.
WORK OF PAVING NINETY-
SECOND STREET STARTED
Wednesday morning paving was
begun on Ninety-second street which
will be extended 300 feet each side
of Foster road. The county is doing
the grading and the city the paving,
each property owner paying the cost
of his half of the street the length
of his 4iolding. By having it done
through the county and city the own
ers will be saved a little over a
third of the expense.

tion of the flight. These planes will

The Mt Scott district community
work, which contemplates the secur
ing of a trained secretary to help
all constructive agencies reach more
•>oys, is going ahead with the pro
gram ax planned. Some are hesi-
■ating to give only because they do
not understand just what the man
selected as secretary will 'l°- The
permanent committee of management
has been chosen and as they are all
■cell-known and respected men of
standing in the community, any funds
?ntruxt«N| to them will be wisely
pent. This group of men will meet
for organization as soon as the cam
paign is over and then proceed to
select a community boys’ work sec
retary. They will then help him in
his work and be ready at all times
to do anything for the good of our
boys.
The committee of management
chosen consists of J. J. Handsaker,
A. E. Kenworthy. J._ C. Meehan, P. A.
Kennedy. J. E. Leach, Dr. C. S.
Ogsbury and T. E. Speirs.
The secretary chosen will then
work out plans to carry on a much
larger program of activities for the
boys than the district has ever been
able to do. Athletic events, ball
games, free swimming lessons at Y.
M. C. A. pool, hikes and outings and
probably a camp will be undertaken.
A united -effort through homes,
schools, churches and playgrounds
will' be made to interest in helpful
activities as many boys as can be
reached.
The Lents theater is co-operating
very strongly in helping to put over
this drive. Mr. Robinson has offered
to give the proceeds of one entire
evening to the finan<-e committee as
a subscription and is also showing a
number of slides during each per
formance.
Captains and workers met at Ar- ,
lets library Monday evening and re
ceived final instructions and data,
and are now busy in their districts.
Some people refuse to give because
of overseas criticism of the Y. M. C.
A. When it is explained that thia
money is to help our own boys, all
of it to be spent right here at home
under the direction of a committee
of well-known residents, it changes
their attitude. As a matter of fact,
the home work of the Y. M. C. A.
has never been criticized and the
overseas criticism should have no
effect on this campaign.
While
there was some real ground for
criticizing, most of the complaint
results from misunderstanding or ru
mor, and some of it is just plain
mis representation.
The latest report from the govern
ment committee of investigation says
that of all welfare work «lone in
France among well men, the associa
tion did 98 per cent of all that was
done.
However, we are now in a cam
paign to help our own boys right
here at home. Every man and woman
in the community wants the boys to
have a square deal. Get behind this
work and do your bit. It don’t take
much from each one, but your help
is needed. It is hoped that many
will see their precinct captain as
given in last week’s Herald and make
a subscription today. 1
Friday evening at 8 p. m. all the
captains will meet at Ar lets library
to report progress up to that time.
A report from one captain in the
Arleta district last evening to Chair
man Leach stated that in about four
blocks the team had secured >60. Mr.
Kennedy, the campaign manager,
hopes every precinct will be over the
tep by Friday evening.
