10 THE GLEAM grams by thid department and was for the promotion of moving pictures. Mr. W. C. Crosby, Chief of the Bureau of Visual Instruction at the Uni-versity of Alabama, gave a short but entertaining talk on the advantages of visual education. A one-reel picture entitled “All Aboard for the Moon” was shown. This picture brought out the fact that scientists think that by the use of radium strong enough to overcome the forces of gravity a trip to the moon might be possible. The picture gave excellent views of the earth and the moon. A fine program was given in the auditorium during Science Week. It was on “First Aid to the Injured.” It was carried out by the Boy Scouts in the first semester science classes. First, there was a demonstration of artificial respiration to restore normal breathing to a drowning or shocked person. Second, triangular and roller bandages were demonstrated. Third, the fireman's lift and how to carry the wounded on a stretcher were shown. Fourth, how to set and bind up broken limbs was demonstrated. Fifth, there was a demonstration of the treatment of a fainting person. Last, there was given the methods to use in treating sprains.

Chapel Exercises At ------------ E.H. S. The principal of the Ensley High School believes in making the chaj el exercise a vital part of the school day. He calls from 10:30 to 11:00 A. M. his class hour. The textbook he uses is “High School Song Rook by Zeiner, and who among us does not believe that our principal somewhat likes this text? Who does not know the anguish of being sent to his locker for his song book? Has one escaped? If so, he doesn’t know anything about a spinal chill and the horrors of encountering an angry police force always parked in the halls around 10:35 A. M. When we get our text , however, and return to the auditorium, the smile of our principal seems to say: Let’s forget our worries. Suppose we sing a little. And we do! When we finish singing, there is always something else interesting. One of the most attractive chapel programs we’ve had was the one given the last day before the Christmas holidays. The orchestra, directed by Miss Warner, and the glee clubs, directed by Miss Troutman, gave a lovely musical program.
