Amazement was expressed over the amount of Bible knowledge that the boys and girls had acquired in so short a time as three weeks. The program opened with the sing- ing of one of the old classical hymns of the church, "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," which the school had committed to memory, followed by the reciting in unison of the school motto, Psalm 119:11: "Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee." Whereupon some of the things that had been "hid in the heart" were passed on to the au- dience. Tells Story of Samuel Seven-year-old Roland Nelson re- lated the story of the boy Samuel in a clear and vivid way, and Janet Kors- gren told the story of the Baby Moses and the Floating Cradle. The younger boys and girls recited the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm. Eleanor Uhe sang a solo. Other Scripture portions which had been committed to memory and which were recited during the course of the program were: The First Psalm, The Beatitudes, First Corinthians, Thirteen, and a Gospel Alphabet consisting of twenty-six Bible verses, one for each letter of the alphabet. The program also showed that much had been learned about the Bible-- names of the books, something about the writers, location of important chap- ters, names of the Twelve Tribes and the Twelve Apostles; also something about the geography of the Holy Land --Ilocation of principal cities, moun- tains and valleys, etc. Following the closing hymn sung by the school, the pastor presented a cer- tificate to each of the thirty boys and girls who had been in regular attend- ance. Eleven of these certificates were tied with gold ribbon, indicating that a perfect attendance had been main- tained by this number. Experts in Charge Mrs. R. A. Thompson was in charge of the school, assisted by Miss Hilda Carlson from Chicago. Sessions were from 9 to 11:30 A. M. each day. Each pupil made a loose-leaf cover at the beginning of the school, and typewrit- ten pages were provided for these note books just as soon as they had mastered each lesson. This method enabled the older and more studious children to proceed much more rapidly than the others. Gold stars were pasted on their lesson pages by the teacher as the pupil recited perfectly each lesson. REDUCE FAUCET LEAKS Any guarantee to the housewife against a leaking faucet is welcome as many women have experiences with faucets which leak and require fre- quent attention. Sometimes, where the hot water is kept near to the boil- ing point for any length of time, this same hot water, along with sand and other debris, is swept along through the water mains, becomes lodged in the faucet valves and, destroying the washers, causes leaks. These leaks must be stopped at once or the valve seat becomes damaged. Faucets may now be obtained which, it is claimed, solve the diffieulty. These faucets have a standardized working unit which can be removed from the faucet for a leak repair as easily as one re- moves a burned out electric bulb from its socket. Ry AS SI
