The main address, was given by W. H. Bloom, superintendent of the Umatilla schools, on the topic of “The Right use of Leisure Time.” He pointed out that today condi tions have created many leisure hours, and to be able to fill the time, people must have created a de sire for worthwhile activity. Mr. Bloom placed swimming at the head of the list for physical activity. From an intellectual stand point the cultivation of appreciation and knowledge of music is highly desirable. In concluding Mr. Bloom stressed the point that parents should en courage and assist the child to find a wholesome use for leisure time rather than let the child get into mischief for lack of better occupa tion. Clarence Henning gave a talk on departmental work. He reviewed the general development, growth and forms of departmental work in ex istence. He especially analyzed its advantages from the standpoint of both pupil and teacher, as semi- departmental work has been carried on with apparent success in Hermis ton for the past two years and a half.

In girl scout uniform or kilts. The girls were dressed as brides, grooms, old maids, sailors, ten year olds, or grandma.
