The contests are designed to interest English and dramatic as well as physical training and hygiene classes. One requirement is that each play must be given publicity. Shortridge High School, the only Indianapolis high school which has definitely entered, will produce a play within the Junior Dramatic League and give a public performance in Caleb Mills Hall. High Students Eligible The contest is open to all public high schools and to private and parochial schools of the same grade. All prize money will be paid to the school and not the student or students writing the winning play. Plays are limited to a thirty-min-ute showing. Plays will be judged for dramatic value and health message to the public. Events in “real life” as they occur and pertain to health are the kind likely to be winners, according to Miss Butcher.

ills, minor and serious, and has held 9,226 consultations with ailing students. Miss Gaskill has found that "sheer weariness” is responsible for most minor inabilities. “My busiest days are Monday and after holidays,” she added. “Students wear themselves out playing over the week-end. Then if they have any hidden ills they become aggravated when they start to work again.” With the help of several girls of her nursing classes, she treats sick stomachsi fainting, broken arms, sprains, epilepsy, hysteria, cuts, burns, bruises, the eyes. She also inspects the teeth. Miss Gaskill has found that girls generally take better care of the teeth than boys. Miss Gaskill was president of the Indiana State Nurses’ Association in 1922-24 and is chairman of a group of nurses meeting this week in connection with the State Teachers’ Association. She formerly was the director of public health nursing of the Indiana State board of health.
