Lmarn By Doing What's Happening In The Schools Reports from the Nantahala school give evidence that chil dren are not depending alto gether on the printed page for what they learn In Macon County schools. The new Interest In nutrition throughout the county, for ex ample, may be due mainly to the practical way In which the children are learning by doing, It Is pointed out by Mrs. Beth Guffey, Macon helping teacher. At Nantahala school the fourth and fifth grades have finished an interesting unit on milk. Interest in milk sanitation was graphically aroused when a complete dairying unit was assembled from cut-outs and placed on floor plans. H. T. Collins, sanitarian with the health office here, and Miss Phillippa Kandle, State Board of Health educator, took reprer seritative groups of children to see Hall's dairy, where milk is bought for the school. These children .reported their visit and the entire class then was in terested in Mr. Collins' talk on sanitation. The special reports which followed, on Louis Pas teur and Babcock, also had more meaning. Different types of dairy bot tle labels were studied. The pupils made a collection of dif ferent types of feed for dairy cows. They drew and colored pictures illustrating different phases of their study of milk. Arithmetic classes kept a record of the amount of milk poured out or wasted at lunch time and the cost of it. (They re ported the amount wasted to be very small.) Geography classes filled in outline maps with the dairying districts of the United States. The study was climaxed by a "milk party", when a drink of orange juice and milk was serv ed to the group. In the first, second and third grades at Nantahala, the chil dren are learning the impor tance of eating raw vegetables at "vegetable parties". While preparing for the parties, they learn cleanliness. They get ac quainted with the foods in a social atmosphere. They learn good manners, eat the .raw veg etables willingly, and are de lighted with the whole activity, teachers say. The story of one of their parties was written on charts for the children to read. The nutrition lessons are used also in writing, language, spell ing, and art, and will serve as an introduction to science. Teachers believe these lessons are more likely to become a part of daily living than if they had been memorized rules from a booii KELIEF FC? AST^A SUFFERERS Quick relief usually comes fron. the first dose cf this new formula which acts to relieve ccrgestion. P-'-cj-jle who formerly suffered with frightening choking, cough ing, wheezing asthma attacks speak of welcome relief after using ASMACOl. ASMACOL costs $2.50, but considering the relief you will experience, the $2.50 it costs amounts to only a few pennies per dose. ASMACOl, (caution, use only as directed) is sold with a money back guarantee if not delighted with results. Sold only by PERRY'S DRUG STORE Mail Orders Filled PROMOTED CPL. DAVID S.
