(UP) Forty English children between the agee of even and nine wltt come out to Canada In May to farm the nucleu of the Fairbridge Farm School on Vancouver Island, to be established under scheme sponsored by the Child Immigration scclety of Great Britain to train English boys and flrla In agriculture. The society has purchased 1000 acres of land on Vancouver Island, and building of homes for the chil dren will start shortly. Through prl Tate subscription the co-operation of the British government, children will be sent out from England to be schooled and trained on this farm the largest experiment of its kind arver attempted In Canada. It will be modeled after the Fairbridge Farm School in Australia. Room for 400. It Is estimated by Major M. F. Trew, who will be the headmaster of the new school, that when the school is In full operation, 400 Eng lish boys and girls will be attend ing. They will be taken from English Institutions, and chosen specially by the London committee of the so. clety. At the school on Vancouver Island they will be schooled according to provincial standards, and at the same time trained In farming and domes tie work. At the age of 10, the boys and flrla will be sent out to farms In western Canada. Government Barking. The Fairbridge Farm School will be self-contained community. Vege tables, fruit, etc., will be grown on the farm, and a small herd of cattle will be purchased. The scheme Is being financed by the society and the British govern ment.

A toy and equipment shop, which really will be a highly specialised consumers' service to parents of untler-school-age boys and glrla will be opened In March. Parent groups are organizing for lectures and for etudy, so that the mothera and the father of the half-hundred very young adventurers into new education fields can carry along at home the objectives of the school. A book consultation service la blng started, so that any parent can come In and ask: "What shall I read to my little girl, aged four, who would rather try to make airplanes than to ploy with dolls?" Experiments llsm sited. Experimental Idea are being talked over, tested out whether a week-end service might be started for parenta who might wish to park their children In a sale and educational spot while they themselves got a Friday to Monday respite from parental cares whether nursemaids would respond to evening classes where they might learn the new methods of helping children to help themselves. Committees, active and advisory, are being formed to grab and gather In one place all the new progressive Ideas of what to do about young America from the age of a year and a half until It graduate into kinder garten at five. That place la a charming old Wash ing ton home, on a winding sequester ed side street, with a big, shady yard all filled with playground equipment It opened seven years ago as a pioneer nursery school. Appeal to Pride. It sunny rooms of white wood work always are filled with the right sited chairs and tables and toys to bring out all the latent resourceful neas which has been found present to a surprising amount In even the youngest of the girls and boys. "Open the door for me, says tiny Tommy to his teacher. Oh. you open It for me you're a gentleman, aren't you?" Is her good natured answer. And Tommy Is proud Indeed to prove he can open the door. Anna Roosevelt Boettlger looked upon this nursery school picture from a parental point of view, and became more and more Interested in It. Drnfted to I lend Rrhrml. In childhood, she was one of the little girls who wanted tools, rather than dolls. She's now one of the few feminine members In presidential families ever to take out a design patent. It was on a doll, however, a bunny-doll, named "Scamper," the White House rabbit about which she wrote a book. It happened quite naturally, there fore, that she was drafted to head the nursery school executive board. In closest cooperation with directors and teachers of this "teaching-by play" project, which originally was founded through a grant from the Laura 8 pel man Rockefeller fund, and which ha had the expert advice of many groups of specialist. Mrs. Boettlger and her committees function In a practical, rather than a theoretical fashion. Take, for In stance, the subject of buttons. Button, Button! "One hundred and ninety-two but tons a day, to button and unbutton would you believe It?" queried Mrs. Boettlger. "Well, If you wouldn't, count It up. That sort of thing Is slavery to any mother especially when self-help clothing la now avail able to children." Cm a' nursery school desk was- a pile of these self-help garments the kind that are going to be shown in the new shop to help parents help themselves out of the buttoning and unbuttoning grind. "Of course, that's only one small portion of the nursery school pro gram," an Id Mrs. Boettlgor. "It Isn't so necessary to explain the rest of It, now that nursery schools have such a good stnrt all over she country through the federal emergency relief program. "But I do want to make clear that a nursery school Is neither a plnce where children are forced to learn to read and write when tlvy aren't ready for It, nor, on the other hand. Is It a plaoe where they Just run wild. "Thla school has a definite dally schedule, with clearly crystallized aims In view the learning of the right health habits; the discipline, that cornea from cooperative play with other children, the early devel opment of the sense of ihythm and the use of body muscles.

Johnson the Jeweler. the Water' TlttE WAT Kit THAT MAKES BKUIl DIFFKltEXT AND IIETTER MASpN, EHRMAN E TQLDBYBUREAU Knowing How Proteins Be have Essential Control of Heat Important Phase in Preparing All Types Protein Is one of the food sub stances necessary to life. It la needed for the building of muscles and oth er tissues of the human body, plants can makelt for themselves, out of the substances they take up from the sou, from air and water. We have to get ours from the plant or the ani mal foods we eat. If we would be technical about It. we should say not protein but pro teins, for there la a considerable va riety of these compounds, and sel dom do you find one by Itself. White-of-egg Is essentially a solution of pro teins in water. The egg yolk con tains other proteins. Meat contains several kinds; so do fish and fowl; so do milk and cheese and the le gumens and nuts. Thla practically completes the list of foods which are commonly called protein foods. Cer eals contain a good deal of protein, and all vegetables contain some. Know Your Proteins When It comes to preparing the protein foods, of course, says the Bu reau of Hne Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It la necessary to know how the proteins behave. Most of the egg protein, for example, will dissolve in cold water. That Is why you rinse a used egg cup In cold water when you want to clean It. Hot water coagulates the egg and makes It stick to the china. High temperature hardens most of the proteins. This Is the fact that deter mines the method of cooking pro tein foods the secret of success Is In controlling the heat to keep them tender. Some coagulation of protein takes place even without heat. This hap pens when you beat egg whites to a foam. The beating makes the protein firmer, so that it holds the air. With too much beating the protein be comes dry and brittle and the foam finally breaks down. Because egg proteins foam so eas ily, the egg white can be used as leavening. One egg will do the work of a half -teaspoon of baking powder in a cake. For a souffle, beat white of egg to a foam and gently fold into It white sauce made of fat, flour and milk with the yolk of the egg to en rich It and something to give It fla vor. When you have baked it slowly In an oven with low heat, you have a souffle. A fluffy omelet Is made this way, and cooked in a frying pan. A meringue, or a fruit whip fol lows the same principle, that Is, cook- tLoak for the Blue Neon ? Sign en. the Certificate J & CO., Distributors mi th a low beat and Just long enough to be tender and not "fall." Acid Proves Aid Another Important thing to know about white of egg proteins as a lea ven Is the effect of adding acid. To mato Juice In a fluffy omelet; cream of tartar In angel cake; or lemon Juice in sponge cake Increases the quantity of the egg foam, and makes It more tender. Again, and still without cooking, there Is the effect of the egg pro teins tn salad dressings. French dress ing, though you can mix the oil and vinegar, will not stay mixed the mixture, technically, is a temporary emulsion. But In mayonnaise, where you use egg with the oil and acid, you get a permanent emulsion, be cause the egg proteins have stabiliz ed the mixture. When heated, the proteins of the egg behave In other Interesting ways Important to the cook. Perhaps you use egg to clarify coffee, or soup. You put the egg white only a little of It Into the cold liquid and It dis solves. But as it is heated II coagu lates, and the particles of protein draw to them wives the coffee dust, or any fine particles there may be in the soup, and you can pour off, or strain out a clear liquid. You can use egg shells for this purpose. In fact, because a little of the egg white al ways clings to the shell enough to clear your coffee. How To Poach Egga When you poach an egg you drop it Into boiling water (this Is not breaking the rule against boiling temperature In egg cookery, because the egg Itself cools the water in stantly) and the sudden heat Into which the egg falls coagulates the outside protein Just enough to keep the egg whole while It cooks. Salt in the water, or a little vinegar, or a little of both, helps to keep the egg whole. But you do not let the water get back to boiling after the egg goes in. For a soft poached egg, you prob ably cover the pan, take it off the fire, and let It stand till the egg Is firm enough to suit you. If you want the egg solid all through, you may keep It on the fire, but you keep the water at very low heat. Cooking eggs in the shell takes more time than poaching, of course, because the shell Is a poor heat-con ductor and the heat cannot pene trate the egg Itself so readily. But again, you dont let the water boll after you put In the egg. And when you fry eggs, you break them into a pan with a little fat Just moderately hot. You keep the heat low, so the eggs will be tender, and have no lit tle frills of dried albumen around the edge.

Schilling ,JJeai v e yfanilla Eggs Benefit Custards In custards, you get the benefit of the thickening power of egg pro teins, if you are making a "boiled" custard which never should be boll, ed, of course, but Just kept at an even heat In a double boiler over hot water that Is not boiling hot If you are making this kind of custard, you stir It gently while It la ( cooking, In order to get the thick, amooth, creamy consistency which mtkea the perfect soft custard. But If you are making baked custard, you do not stir the mixture while It Is cooking. You keep the oven low, and you set the cus tard In a pan of water to make It cook slowly enough to form a "gel" that la firm but very delicate. But you don't keep it In the oven too long, because after a time, even with low heat, the custard will "separate" which means that the protelna form a hard "coagulum" which sep arates from the liquid and your cus tard becomes watery. Meat proteins and milk protelna behave In some special ways of their own, but the cooking principle la the same control of the heat. Meat cookery Is a story In Itself, however, and so Is the cooking of milk and cheese. the great majority chooses rhey're Oven-Fresh wherever you buy them The cracker that is oven-fresh, is what you get when you order Snow Flakes.
