The Kelloggian 25 HUMEMAKINE School opened with an enrollment of eleven in the homemaking classes. In phrasing, homemaking 1 covers food and nutrition, and homemaking 2 covers textiles and clothing. I-lomemaking 1 had charge of the cafeteria work, which gained for them practical experience in planning, preparing, and serving nutritious lunches to those who were unable to return to their homes for the noon lunch. The cafeteria was beneficial to the school from the health standpoint, because the food that was served contained the required amount of nutrition necessary for the body. In homemaking 2, the textiles and clothing are taken up. This gives the pupil the idea of the cost of the material and the expenses in dress making. The type of dresses studied con- sisted of sport, afternoon and school. In homemaking 5 and 7, the work covers interior decorating and house- hold management. The project in interior decoration was the redecorating of the chairs and table of the Community House, also of pictures and other objectives to make it seem more attractive and more homelike. The class enjoyed a trip to Oneonta, where they visited the art work of Hartwick College. The household management generally covers the expenses, budgets, man- aging of the home and also a study of electrical appliances. In connection with this last work, the class visited the Associated Gas and Electric Company of Oneonta, where they were shown many helpful demonstrations in the work- ing of electrical equipment. Next year there will be taught in the school seventh and eighth grade homemaking, and homemaking 1 and 2, as well as homemaking 3 and 4.

Under the direction of Mr. Hoyt, the local leader, and Mr. Arnold of Cornell University, the class had instruction in the mechanism of gas and steam engines. A single cylinder gas engine was furnished by a member of the club. This was taken apart and studied very thoroughly. The majority of the club finished the course with exceptionally high marks and considered the course entirely worth while. The Hill Toppers' 4-H Club was organized in December at South Franklin under the leadership of Clifford Davidson. The officers of that club are as follows: president, Frederick Ehrhardg vice-president, Ernest Davieg secretary, Vanley Blackmang and treasurer, Reed Davidson. ' Some of the projects undertaken are gardening, poultry husbandry, for- estry and potato raising. Dare Now to Win
