High, schools which have this type of program benefit very much, be cause they receive more publicity, produce better athlets, and in many instances gain financially. "These programs might seem a little far fetched, but in the long| run the advantages gained from such a well rounded program should certainly outweigh any cSmplication or problem which might arise. "The lack of funds should not be a prime hindrance. There are many ways in which funds can be obtained. Drives, individual contributions and effort. Efforts by social organizations and clubs are good examples. Moreover the local newspaper is an excellent tool for stirring up interest and possible financial security. "All in all, it Is a great idea, and maybe some day it won't be just a possible proposal, but a reality. "R. Halstead Holden." Dr. Baldwin Now Reported Better Dr. W. E.

March Celebrated As Wallpaper Month New York?The month of March has been officially desig nated as National Wallpaper ora nated as National Wallpaper Month. It will be dedicated to the improvement of public taste and the beautifying of American homes. The recorded history of wall paper is a long one; it dates back more than four centuries. At first, wall paper was made by a cumbersome hand process and thus was excessively expensive, j and its use was limited to the j wealthy. In later years, however, \ the art spread, designs improved, and the cost naturally decreased as wall pajvar techniques im proved. Within the past twenty years American technical ingenuity has developed washable wall paper, printed In lightfast colors. Today, wall paper is practical as well as beautiful and is available in such wide varieties that' there is a wall paper to fit every color scheme, every taste, and every model of living. Improvement of public taste in decorating is a long-term contin uing process. During National Wallpaper Month, all branches of the industry are making a con certed effort to emphasize their year-round program of helping American homemakers to beauti fy their home.
