U ZAIULQHNU AQ HDZAYQE DWQDHZHS HEALTH The school nurse is ready to start another busy day at eight-thirty when the buses are beginning to arrive. Sally's cut knee is given first aid. Jimmy returning to school following a co m nicable disease, is sent to the school doctor for examination. Mary's second degree burn on her thigh is covered with a dressing and a note sent with her to the school physician. Sally Jane leaves a note on the nurse's desk to call and see John who is ill. Five students are inspected and given permission to return to their classes following absences from school because of illness. Hrs. Brown calls to see the nurse regarding Ruth's health. Ann and Peter who were examined, X-rayed, and given a tuberculin test at the chest clinic two days ago have their arms inspected for reaction to the tuberculin test. After a final check-up by the school doctor, they go away happy to learn it is negative. Judith, eyes glistening with tears, is treated for a toothf ache and at the same time is encouraged to visit the dentist. Robert has an inflamed throat and a temperature. Arrangements are made for him to go home, with advice that he see his family doctor. The nurse will call to orrov. The nurse pauses for a minute to arrange her work and to read Betty Jane's note. Betty Jane is sent for, and the contents of the note discussed. Arrangements are made for the school hot lunch for Betty Jane and her brothers. Pupils in the first and second grades are inspected. Praise is given for their neat, clean appearance. A short talk on the importan of bringing a clean handkerchief daily is given to the first grade, while one on the best foods for good teeth and the importance of daily care is given in the second. In the afternoon Sandra, who has fallen 111 at school, is taken home where her condition is discussed with her mother. A deep snow drift prevents getting to Arthur's home. On the way back the nurse stops to see Joh at the request of his mother who telephoned earlier in the day. Back to town with the clank, clank of auto chains, and a second effort is made to reach Arthur's home from another direction. Off the main road for a couple of miles in the tracks of a previous car, the nurse's car comes to a stop in another snow drift. After walking more than half a mile against a brisk wind through the fields, the nurse reaches Arthur's home. His visit to the eye specialist, and the doctor's orders, are explained. The walk back to the car is down grade and easier going. The car see-saws back and forth for some time, then darts out into the ruts of the road once more and goes merrily homeward in the dusk of a w1nter's afternoon. GQ

HTCIDMIQEMMKUNCEU One outstanding activity of the Homemaking Department is the hot lunch project. The department serves nearly 100 pupils every day. On Wednesday a full lunch is served to about 45 students and 'teachers at a cost of 18d per plate. The planning of these dishes is given careful consideration. Thqy must be low in cost and at the same time, interesting and nutritious. Foods served include milk, fruits, fruit juices, cooked and raw vegetables, and also puddings and custards. Next year it is hoped that the school may have a cafeteria. This would necessitate the equipping of the large study-hall for a combined study-hall and cafeteria. There has been 1 gradual increase in the number of girls taking homemaking in high-school. This year 3575 of them are studying homemaking, but this number should be increased still more. Out of the past senior classes at least sox of the girls are now in homes of their own, or are doing house-work for someone else. These results show that more girls should take up homemaking while they are in highpschool. This year, five girls taking homemaking, attended Farm and Home Week at Cornell, where they received much inspiration for their work. Ho emaking girls often visit homes in the community to study furnishings and equipment. In this way the girls become more interested, and the actual home conditions make their work seem more of a reality. Families visited also become more aware of the department and realize the extension of the activities. The seventh and eighth grades are the beginners, but they are not inactive. They begin to sew and cook and try hard to measure up to the progress of the older girls. This year the eighth grade girls will make their own graduation dresses. The parents should be as proud of this, as the pupils themselves.
