In case you want to know of any school activities, just look at the honor societies* bright green bulletin board in front of the assembly. Even if you are unable to read it from the back of the study hall, you can see the bright green of the board! Physiology Class Observes Egg Growth By Terry Miller Two weeks ago Mr. Hall’s physiology class started incubating eight dozen chicken eggs. On various school days the students remove the embryo from the egg in a very c.'.reftri procedure. The eggs are placed in warm water so the pressure inside the egg remains the same. With a pair of small scissors the shell is cut about a third of the distance from the top. The membrane connecting the shell to the embryo is then cut and the embryo is lifted out on a watchglass. After three days development, the heart is beating, and the eyes are visible. After seven days, the legs and toe buds start to develop. On the 10th day the embryo was about one half an inch in length and the width of a pencil. With the exception of the feathers most of the features were developed at this time, Thursday. Mary Jo Martin, a senior, removed the tiny heart from the embryo and observed its beating. AU of the students are fascinated in observing the embryo in its various stages.

THE HOMEMAKER’S SECRET In J. M. Barrie’s play “What Every Woman Knows”, one of the leading characters, Maggie, says this: “Every man who is high up toves to think that he has done it all by himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that. It’s our only joke. Every woman knows that.” Maggie spoke a universal truth. ! Most successful men owe a great deal more to their wives than the male ego ever likes to admit. Not every woman is as directly involved in her husband’s career as Maggie is in the play. Her husband is a political figure whose brilliant and homey speeches elect him to office. White he writes the first draft of his talks, she edits in the wit and sparkle which give them the warmth arid understanding that wins votes. Today, especially here in America, many women directly aid their husbands’ careers by holding outside jobs that add to the family income. Laudable as the efforts of the working-wife may be. J. B. Barrie’s play was written of a period when most married woman stayed! home. It was perhaps to give them a lift that Barrie let Maggie speak that significant sentence. The wife wt» shares the secret that “every woman knows" is the homemaker, the woman who does ■ not accept some of the modem I theories that wives cannot be happy at home. She is a woman who does not need an outside career to find fulfillment. In her mind she already has the finest career and toe most fascinating job in the world. She is creating and maintaining the kind of home life that made this a great country. Her contribution to her husband’s sucess, although indirect. is indispensaHe. She provides the inspiration which makes the daily struggle worthwhile. She provides the retreat into which he can retire from the pressures of the working day. She provides the comforts that give him the renewed strength which makes the daily struggle possible. She provides the children with a mother during the years when they need one the most. She provides the love and affection which instils in the entire family toroughtfulness and consideration for one another. She gives to the wwd "home" a meaning far beyond that of a mere dwelling place. When the poets and the music makers gave us those old and lovely songs in memory of home and mother, they were writing for the woman who found in home and motherhood the satisfactions of a career. And many of the world’s greatest and most successful men owed more than they realized to the kind of homes such women made.

SIX RULES FOR SUCCESS

Under the glass top of his desk, where he can see it and be reminded of it constantly at his work, the president of a successful business enterprise has a slip of paper on which is typed these six challenging rules: 1. Dare to do things differently. 2. Dare to experiment and expend for improvements, almost disregarding the costs. 3. Dare to change the existing order of things — policies, methods, merchandise, personnel. 4. Dare to offer an excellent product at a remarkably low price *— and gamble on your profits. 5. Dare, when others retrench or temporize, to cany forward feasible plans. 6. Dare to market something new and desirable, and in a new and aggressive way. Some years ago when he bought the controlling interest in the business it was practically dead on its feet from timidity and inaction, His first step was to lay down for its guidance the courageous policies quoted above. The business began immediately to prosper and has continued to do so.

SHE KNEW HER VOCATION There are always rare individu--1 als who know what they want to do in life and do it in spite of any obstacles that stand in the way. It 1 is as if a Divine Providence mark--1 ed them for some great service and sustained them through every trial. 1 More than a century ago, women ’ from upper class homes did not ! choose outside careers. Parents of wealth and position expected their ' daughters to marry an eligible man and enjoy a life of comfort and ; ease, while providing heirs to the family estates. But one attractive young lady had contrary ideas. She did enjoy the balls, the parties, and the travels which made the life of wealthy classes interesting and exciting. She did have suitors amon£ the eligible young men in her social set. But something deep inside haunted her with the idea that, at least for her, happiness would come only through something more meaningful. Florence Nightingale began her nursing career in a modest and genteel way. During particularly distressing times, she visited the homes of the poor and sick in the villages near one of the family estates, taking food, medicines, and clothing. Afterward, whenever relatives became ill, she insisted upon helping take care of them. Her parents were not happy about it, but she did not arouse determined family opposition until she suggested learning more about the care of the side by spending three months of training in a nearby hospital-. -Forence’s mother refused permission. Perhaps the mother’s feelings

are more understandable when we consider that “nursing” was the lowest form of female labor. Only ’ those too poor and helpless to be ’’ cared for at home endured the filth 1 and suffering commonplace in the J public infirmaries of the day. ’ Miss Nightingale had to be con- • tent to study the care of the sick by J reading hospital reports which she t secured from every available f source. She became one of the best r informed persons in England about 1 hospital problems and developed her I own ideas of how to care for the J: sick and make nursing a respected I occupation. II The first opportunity to put her j, ideas into practice came when she ; j was chosen to be the new superin- ’! tendent of a charity hospital for j gentlewoman in distressed circumstances. Hsr big opportunity came when the War Secretary, a family friend, yielded to public pressure for better care of the sick and wounded in the Crimean War. He asked Miss Nightingale to take a party of nurses to Scutari and see what she could do to relieve conditions there. There is not enough space here to detail the deplorable situation she found at Scutari. Nor is it possible to tell fully of the opposition of the military brass and envious rivals. It is enough to say that she became the idol of the men in the ranks — that she laid the foundations for better care of the skk and wounded—that she set standards of conduct and training which changed the public image of the nurse to one of appreciation and respect.
