' N this day and age electricity is not only used for lighting purposes and factory work, but it is used in homes where housewives cook and clean with electrical appliances. In my ideal kitchen I hope to have a great many elec- trical things. In the first place I will describe to you what I consider to be a perfect kitchen- one easy to -work in and one easy to keep clean. The wall and woodwork of my kitchen will be painted a light color and have a little sten- ciled border around the top. I hope to have an inlaid linoleum which will be glued to the floor and then varnished. By having it varnished it will have a hard surface that will make it easy to keep clean. Have you heard of the new electrical stove whose oven will go on and off according to the way you set it? Imagine going down town and coming home at six o'clock and finding your meat done to a turn An ice box with an electrical refigerator Iwould like to have. Several cupboards are necessaryg one in particular opening to the out- side so that groceries and the like can be put in there. A sink combined with an electrical dishwasher with soft, hot and cold Water will also have to be in my kitchen. To, make this workshop complete I will also have to have a Kitchen-Aid a machine that can mix and strain food. An electric toast- er. coffee perculator, iron, and vacuum cleaner are other items necessary to complete this ideal kitchen where I expect to make you all a cup of tea on my new electric stove and served in my breakfast corner. A cozy little breakfast nook painted blue with a bench on either side will be in one cor- ner, and in the center of the room will be a porcelain kitchen table with at least two draw- ers or more. An incinerator and clothes chute will also open into this kitchen. , Margre tta Kollig Cau't You Guess? , Joe: How do they take the census in Scotland? Sam: You got me, how?

Typewriting LICK-clik-click-click-click-click- What's that? a friend inquired as we were walking down the second corridor. Oh, that's the music in 211, I replied. Is that a music room? she asked. Then I explained to her that I didn't really mean music but that to those who liked typing and appreciated its value the click- click of those fifty-eight typewriters really seemed like music. I wonder how many stop to think just what the typewriter has done for the world? In free- ing the world from pen slavery the typewriter has saved a volume of time and labor and has facilitated and made possible the enormous growth of modern business. It was the typewriter which first opened to women the doors of business life and in so doing it has brought about a transformation in our whole social order, it has changed our modern system of education in many of its most important phases, it has helped to bring the whole world into closer relationship. 'Ihe typewriter is only a little over fifty years old. Like many other great inventions it came in recognition of a need and today its use is world-wide. There is no article of commerce more universal in its distribution. Everywhere on earth today where man is found with ability to read and write, there is found the typewriter. The following statement may help you in visu- alizing this fact: Some years ago a linguistic genius conceived the idea of collecting typewrit- ten translation of the motto, To save time is to lengthen life, in all the languages of the world. The collection in 1923 had grown to eighty-four languages. In commercial education the typewriter has long Since established its reign. Its use in the business world, in colleges, and in senior and junior high schools is universal. It may be a long time before the typewriter is established in the elementary schools as an educational implement as necessary as charts and black- boards but in the home this service has already begun and will be extended with every passing year. It is by no means easy to learn to typewrite- Correct habits must be formed from the begin- ning if we expect to succeed. We must pay close attention to our technique, rhythm and accin-acy. We are admonished over and over again by our instructors not to cheat ourselves even once by watching our keys, or the work on our machine but to keep our eyes on our copy. We are told that the habits which we form dur- ing our first month or two of practice will re- main with us during all the years that we use the typewriter. Is it not then worth while to form correct habits from the beginning, and need one ask - Why learn to typwrite? In closing we add the words of Sholes whose name is little known today in the world of business of which he transformed with his inven- tion of the typewriter. In one of the last letters that he ever wrote he said: Whatever I may have felt in the early days of the value of the typewriter, it is obviously a blessing to man: kind, and especially to womankind. I am glad I had something to do with it. I builded wiser than I knew, and the world has the benefit of it. Weltha Finley The Reflector Staff wishes to thank Miss Thayer and the members of her typing class for their splendid cooperation in typing copy for this issue. Reflector Staff Chapel Program During the Assembly Hour on April 12 and 13, a novel and interesting program was given by the Book Lovers' Club. On the stage was a huge book and as the first pages were turned well-known advertisements were represented by living models, such as a dainty. Japanese girl carrying a bar of soap' advertising Jap Rose Soap, a stout 'Dutch girl carrying a cup on a tray advertising Baker's cocoag and another wielding a broom stick representing Dutch Cleanser. On the next page memberswportray- ed the characters of well loved b o o ks, Jo's Boys, An Old-Fashioned Girl, A Girl of the Limberlostj' and Freckles. A poem recited by girls was on the following page. As no book is complete without music the song Always followed, sung by a girl accompanied by the piano. As the next page was turned a book report of Limpy was revealed. A poem telling the sorrows of a red-headed girl formed the following page. One of the clever Cream of Wheat ads so familiar to readers completed the book. Gertrude Swanson The Blue Boy The very fine copy of this famous picture The Blue Boy, which was used in our play Officer 666 was made by Miss Cora McEach- ron, in the art department Central Junior High, the frame was made by Mr. Christie, of our wood- work department, and Miss Louise Austin of the art department decorated the frame. Isn't cooperation a winner? A Future Latin Star Frederick Seitner, studing his Latin lesson, asked his little sister Emily: Emily, what are the principal parts of the Latin verb do?
