Progress is being made, they say, in educating the local community to the need for providing better facilities for children so they may compete in later life with graduates of schools in the most progressive communities. With the public the home town taxpayers aroused, schoolmen believe it should not be difficult to solve man of the knotty problems that have retarded rural educa- and educators also feel that many other features of the future classroom will create a friendly atmosphere.

French chalk, fuller's earth, talcum, cornmcal and cornstarch can be used for fresh grease stains as they absorb it effectively. They are safe on all materials. Lay the stained cloth on a table and shake powder over stain. As soon as the powder becomes sticky or discolored, shake or brush it off and apply more if necessary. If the stain still shows after several tries, place stained part between two pieces of blotting paper and apply a warm iron for several minutes. When desired, any of th? absorbent powders may be mixed to a paste with carbon tetrachloride or the other grease solvents and then applied to the stain. Let dry and brush off.

A single spot on a dress, coat or suit, in a prominent place can virtually make it impossible to wear for the occasions for which it was intended. If this spotting and staining affects several garments, one can readily see how it's possible to lose as much as one would ordinarily spend for one season's clothes. Simple methods are effective In spot and stain removal, especially if prompt action follows the accident. It would be well worthwhile to memorize the methods used for some of the common stains, just in case you can't find the information when you want it or when you're away from home.

Considerable progress has been made in consolidating the small, poor tax districts into larger, more prosperous ones as a result of work of the National Education Association In pointing out advantages of cooperative financing. In Illinois, for example, the number of school districts has been reduced since 1945 from 12,000 to 4.580. For the most part the new areas have been organized according to community units, a typical county having from three to six such community units. Marked progress also has been made in Arkansas. Missouri, Wyoming, Idaho, North D;ikota, Minnesota, Colorado and South Carolina. The surveys' were conducted by three committees composed of farmers, business men and professional men, and women, housewives, parents of schonl children representing various Influential and rcspnn.ihle elements of the community, and high school students. Their final recommendations, which Rave a priority rating to the construction of two rural elementary schools, an attendance renter and two city schools, were passed on to the townspeople.

The cleaner may be able to help you if you can give him information on the type of stain the fabric contains. Crisp rayon fabrics such as taffeta and moire frequently carry spots from water and should be treated with care. Some stains which have dried are difficult to locate until they have been pressed with an iron, and this may well make them impossible to remove. To find stains, hold the garment to light. If it still remains inThe visible, sponge with water. stained area may become darker than the rest of the material, so you can treat it readily before heat is applied. Perspiration stains cause much damage in clothing, and should be prevented with proper underarm padding whenever possible. Once the damage is done, treatment may be of some good. Body perspiration is usually acid and should be treated with an alkali. Dampen the perspiration stain with water and hold over an open bottle of ammonia, letting the fumes do the work. If perspiration stains are old, they may well be alkaline, in which case sponge the stain with vinegar and rinse well with water.
