BIOLOGY STUDENTS VISIT ANGEL HOSPITAL Two sections, of the. ninth grade biology class, totaling 67 members with their teacher, visited the Angel hospital on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The trips were arranged at the suggestion of the teacher, Ray N. Moses, for the purpose of vitalizing a unit of health study. - Dr. Furmarr-Angel- to whom -Mr. Moses's request for the visit was made, left nothing to be desired in the way of courtesy and coopera tion, and this was true ,of the whole personnel of the hospital. . Dr. Angel entertained the pupils with ia brief original story of a patient who was scalped by an Indian's tomahawk.- To demonstrate th use of the X-ray, a picture was made of the ' bones in Lewis, Pat ton's hand. The pupils were asked by their teacher to consider such questions as: what reasons do you see for wishing or not wishing to be a doctor or nurse? What antiseptics are most effective? Which diseases are most common in this section? In the operating room the .stu dents were informed in regard to the efficient methods which a mod ern hospital uses to prevent infec tion at the time when operations are performed. They were shown various scientific instruments in cluding the bronchoscope, an in strument not to be found in less frell-equipped hospitals. The bron schoscope is used to rescue over size bits of chicken, pop-corn, pocket change, and other items that fail to make the normal journey from mouth to stomach.1 After viewing such cheerful things as charts of human insides, a fresh, appendix, and similar, ob jects, Mamie Addington fell down, fainting; however, after getting some rest in a reclining position, she recovered. , , - The most vivid lesson which the pupils received was in regard : to the need for forethought and caution- in the handling of fire and in flammable liquids. This lesson came by seeing a patient who was sev erely burned by gasoline. SCIENCE CLUB COLLECTS MINERALS The Science club of the Frank lin high school is making a collec tion of minerals found in this sec tion.

Moses, on a visit to Raleigh, just before the opening of the present school term, noted only one speci men that was labeled as being from Macon county. It is felt that this project ' of collecting minerals will help to acquaint the pupils with the varied mining possibilities of this section, and might attract investors from cthtf-iectlorjsr -.. v"-- The Science club meets in . room No. 22 of the Franklin-school build"' ing at "Activity Period", on Thursi days, Anyone who would like to give mineral .specimens to the .club or to help otherwise in this respect may get in touch with, .the dub members or with Mr Moses.
