Programs for illustrated lecture pro- grams on home decoration will also be included in this outline.

It has been endorsed by President Coolidge, by The Art Institute of Chicago, by the Chicago Public School Art society and by the Metropolitan Museum of Arts of New York, as well as by other or- ganizations. "Clubs are urged to sponsor an ex- hibit of prints; that they follow the ex- ample of the Chicago Public Art zo- ciety in giving prints to schools each year; by having contests for naming pictures in the schools, and in various ways teaching children to become friends of beautiful pictures."

BEYOND REPAIR Tonsils and adenoids are normal parts of the body with a definite duty to perform no less positively than are the teeth. Like the teeth, tonsils and adenoids should not be removed un- der any circumstances unless they are diseased. Unlike the teeth, diseased tonsils and adenoids cannot be re- paired and therefore the only remedy in such cases is removal.
