Farm Degrees, Cake, Pig and Ritualistic Ceremonies °Jo 'M Rural 1 nvestigators At Mountain View la st Friday was a great day for the Mountain View rural center. Forty representatives of extension service from eleven states visited the school and w itnessed a health demonstration program which show ed the splendid results of the nutri tion and corrective work begun at the school last October. The visit ors arrived by auto from Corvallis at 4:30 p. m.—about an hour be hind their schedule. Although the pupils were kept waiting beyond the usual time, and darkness threatened to interf« re with the program, nevertheless it proved to be very interesting, and the pupils gave evidence of keen interest in forming correct health habits. The visitors were welcomed by Mrs. S. I. Coleman, project leader for the community. Miss Smith, nutrition expert of the Oregon Ag ricultural College extension service, who has had the supervision of the work, explained the health program which is being carried out at the school and introduced the "jolly ten squad” , who in a unique way told the secrets of their gain, which includes drinking a pint of milk ev ery day, six glasses of water, eat- ing^brown bread, fruit and two vegetables besides potatoes every day, brushing teeth, etc. Other numbers included compositions on "How I play the game of health” , presentation of health posters made by the pupils and individual charts showing each pupils gain by a graphical representation. The charts showed that many of the pu pils have far surpassed the expected gain in weight. Mrs. Inez Miller, principal of the school, gave a short talk on the health project work and told how it is carried through practically ev ery subject. She stated that since the intrtxluction of the warm lunch and soup at noon the pupils are quieter in the afternoon and do more efficient work. The usual lag ging in the afternoon is absent, she said. W.L. Cadderly of the O. A. C. extension department spoke briefly for the visitors after which they were conducted through the build ing. The health program by high ly commended was the extension representatives both for (its 'effect upon the pupils and the splendid training given the student teachers of the Normal. The extension committee was accompanied from Corvallis by City Superintendent J. O. McLaughlin, County Superintendent Castle, Polk County Agent Paul Carpenter and others. Representing the Normal faculty were Prof. W. G. Beattie, Miss Laura J. Taylor and Miss Mac- Pherson. There was a large atten dance from the patrons of the Mountain View district. Monmouth had a little "flu” scare this past week and on Sunday evening at the suggestion of the authorities services in the churches was dispensed with. There have been a few cases of the ailment in town but the city authorities an nounce that proper restrictions are being used, and unless the situation becomes decidedly worse no further ban will be placed on public activ ity. A. E. Tedrow started to cro?a the railroad track Friday when he ha<! a small collision with an engine on the S. P. tracks. Both were go» ing slowly and because of weather conditions Mr. Tetherow did not s-e the engine until he wan close u> the track. I, ‘ turned hurriedly to the side an«I the engine hit the run ning board of the car with very lit tle damage.
