These scrapbooks were original-

in the war savings program, in
order to report their wartime ac-

Compositions, art work, photogra-
ph ,, poems, letters, plans of Red
Cross activities .scrap drives, vic-
tory gardens, plane spotting, food
conservation, as well as stamp
sale devices.
Last year, some 28000 sch’ools
enrolled as schools at war. After
local and regional exhibits, their
scrapbooks were submitted to
state war finance offices. Five
scrapbooks from each state were
then selected for the national
schools-at.war exhibit, held in In.
gdianapolls, Ind., during the an-
nual meeting of the National Ed-
ucation association, June 25 to 80.
Several months ago Washington
officials sent four scrapbooks as
advance emissaries to the Bri-
tish. So enthusiastically were they
j received, depicting as they did the
vivid story of'what American boys
I and girls are really like, what they
feel they are fighting for, and
what they are doing toward vic-
tory, that a call came over the
Atlantic for more.
The scrapbooks are from all
sections of the country — from
Maine to Florida to Idaho. They
should prove quite exciting to the
British children — seeing palms
about tropical school buildings,
snow about others, and small
I adobe boxes set in flat deserts,
i The contracts will be startling,
denoting the vastness of our
country.
They'll range from a scrapbook
representing a city system of 52,.

one-room school with bnly four
pupils, all of whm are buying
bnds. The one from the Virginia
school for the Blind should at-
tract attention because of the
Braille used in the labels.
This fascinating panorama of
American schools at- war will be
exhibited in England to coincide
with the visit of Worth McClure,
president of the American Asso-
ciation of School Administrators,
who is being sent abroad to speak
fu British educators and thu.~ help
to interpret the United States and
our educational system. Among
the first four books sent over was
that from the Seattle public
schools, of which Mr. McClure is
superintendent.

ELAINE VITO: Gives her short nails a tapered loe»»
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
Long, tapering fingernails seem to be one of this war's casualties.
So many girls who work with machinery—though it be merely
pounding a typewriter—find that nails which extend much beyond
the fingertips slow down production.
If this be vour problem, too. you'll be interested in the discovery
made by Elaine Vito, talented and pretty model who is also the
harpist with Raymond Paige's Young Americans orchestra.
“Naturally, in practicing and playing the harp so many hours a
day, I can't allow my nails to grow very long. I must keep them
filed short enough to prevent them from catching on the wrong
harp strings.
“Yet, the modeling I do in my off hours make it necessary for
mr to keep my nails looking as iong us possible, io create an il-
lusion of length, I either buff my nails until they have a high
shine or use a neutral tone of nail polish. Then. I apply a darker
polish all the way to the tip of the nail, leaving a narrow strip
along the sides unpolished."
The polished area, because it is narrow, gives an impression of
greater length. Trv it, and see if your hands haven't assumed a
more graceful look.
