Joan was born January 16, 1412,| of respectable peasant parents, who taught her to knit and to sew and to tend the flocks, but, in common with her associates, she was never taught to read or write.

B + Results of ‘the survey, which was conducted by the U. S. departmwent of agriculture, have prompted the board to launch a new project of meat edu« cation among high school students of home economics, says a statement isâ€" sued today by the organization‘s Keadquarters here. Thig project will be known as the second natibnal meat story contest, full particulars conâ€" cerning which will be in the hands of high schcol home economics instrueâ€" tors and their students in the very near. future. > 9. First Contest > The first contest of this sort was held during the spring of last year in coâ€"operation with the home economics: departments of the nation‘s high schools. The board explains the iniâ€" tial effort as being for the purpose of stimulating the study of meat through offering an incentive for the student to write upon this subject. The new contest is a continuance of the original idea, the need for which has been accentuated by the findings of government investigators. The board points out that home economics instructors in all parts of the country heartily endorsed the first contest as an aid to education and many urged that further work be done along this line. It is said that approximately â€"12,000 high school wirls representing every state in the Union competed and it is expected that a much larger number will be come interested in the pregent event. Dr. Louise Stanley, chief ‘ of the bureau of hoTne economics, U. 8. deâ€" partment of| agriculture, served as chairman of the,. judging committees in the first contest. The incentive for students to enter is offered‘in the form of cash jprizes totaling $2,500, the national chamâ€" pionship prize being $300, _'Avnrds will be made in every state. _ There is something of the tive l artist in ‘everyone. _ That | homeâ€" . makers nre\bécomhmn ‘more || aware. of their fun as a is ‘shown by theI generous that | greets the Art Institute‘s : se of. | lectures on interior decoration for its ]members.
