A Noise That Annoys

A full grown sneeze, echoing like a battle horn from somewhere in the distance, disturbed the early morning hush along our street. Then another, and another. Finally the perpetrator strolled into view, a block down the street, innocently unaware that he was the center of anyone\u27s. interest, or worse, the object of anyone\u27s homicidal intent

In the Light of Experience

Great-grandmother Green was afraid of night air. It had been her experience that sleeping with her head uncovered was bad for her health. You can\u27t discount your own experience and that\u27s all there is to it

Christmas Problems for the Home Economics Class

On the principal\u27s desk this morning a blazing poinsetta greeted you, and as you passed down the corridor you noticed for the first time that on the windows of the kindergarten room was pasted a gay procession of reindeer and fat Santa Clauses chasing each other across the panes. And the morning paper proclaims: Fifteen more day to do your Christmas shopping. When the home economics classes hurry into the laboratory to the accompaniment of the hall bells that have suddenly assumed a festive jingle, they demand as one girl: Are we going to make Christmas candy? And there it is before you, the annual question of a Christmas problem to be planned for your classes

Once a little basement room where a single teacher with a vision of prophecy taught a small group of girls to cook and serve, and now a great white building, where 1,400 girls in home economies classes are learning how best to live happily and usefully as homemakers or as professional women!

We suspect that the kind neighbors who have so unselfishly housed us for so long will be quite as happy as we are

Remember how you waited 20 minutes in an icy wind to be sure of catching the next car down to Central School in time to meet your class? Times have changed partly, tho street car service remains the same! Nowadays, however, a girl may ride luxuriously in the Ford car of her supervisor, out to one of the consolidated schools to do her teaching, Long since, the Ames schools have not furnished enough laboratory space for the department and one after another there have been added the schools of Kelly, Huxley, Jordan and Gilbert

What Shall We Teach and Where-withal Shall We Be Clothed?

We are all undoubtedly familiar with the story in advertising section of almost any magazine, depicting the unhappy state of the poor little wallflower girl who has not the right clothes for the party. And we have all rejoiced over the sequel in which she· astonishes even her close friends by suddenly blossoming forth in fascinating clothes for all occasions, which she had . planned and made for herself. More than likely you have had an impulse to start right out and accomplish the same results, either by that route or another.
