There are ninteen of ‘these classes meeting in ‘nine different centers, »a-ml the total‘. active membership’ is 287. The women make new garments and alter old ones, for this is practical work, and it must be admitted that there is a good deal of making over. If the style show is. ‘held, the cooking classes and music ‘students «also will. contribute. The cooking classes have had training in the preparation .of meals. based on the needs of a family of four or five persons, and they will provid refresh- ments for all guests ati the pro- posed style show, while the students in chorus and organ will contribute a program of ‘music, including folk songs, national airs and sacred num- beers. The work in Lackawanna was begun March 30, and is under the general supervision of Frank P. Johnston‘ of the State Education Department, with Miss Rosalind Beard in charge, cooperating with Berchmans Boland, Lackawan- mt superintendent of schools. There are 64 classes all told including shorthand, Ameri- canization, home nursing, chorus and organ music, cook- ing, sewing, architectural drawing, blueprint reading, and recreational activities such as folk dancing, jig saw studies and chess. A total of 24 teach- ers are actively employed in this work serving an average attendance of 800. The classes meet at the Lackawanna Com- munity house, St. Ba~rbara*’s Polish church, Magyar Re- formed church, Bethel Presby- terian chufch, St. Hyacinth's Polish church, Friendship house, Church of the Assump- tion, St, Anthony's church and the -Bethlehem Park grammar school. . ‘ »Isn submitting the auditor’: annual report compiled by Chamberlain, Smith and.
