SCHOOL ANNOUNCES
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
in accordance with instruction
from the Territorial Health De
partment at Juneau, the annual
physical examination of every
public school student will be held
before enrollment in territorial
.•schools this year
Examinations at the Nome
Territorial School begin Monday,
September 30 at the school build
ing. They are required c*f each
student and will be free only
during those scheduled periods
when Dr. MoTcom is in attend
ance at the school building. The
schedule follows:
Monday, September 20.
Third grade—9 o’clock.
Second grade—10 o’clock.
First grade—11 o'clock.
No afternoon examinations will
be held. It is assumed that the re
maining elementary grades can
be taken in order, Tuesday and
the high school on Wednesday
morning. A further announce
ment will appear in The Nugget
Monday evening.
It will be noted that first grade
students are also to be examin
ed. The examination in the early
summer had no connection with
the Territorial school and does
not meet the legal requirements
for entrance. It was intended
merely as a health measure per
mitting parents to make any nec
essary and possible health cor
rection before the child entered
school.
Parents are invited to accom
pany primary children if they so
wish. However, the necessity of
handling a large number of cas
es renders consultation with the
doctor impossible at this time.
High school students may reg
ister on Wednesday. Latest ad
vises indicate that regular in
struction will begin Thursday,
September 23.

Tall Preserves
By Bureau of Home Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture I
—
It must have been a cook with:
the genius of an Edison who first!
dared to make quince preserves.
Who else would have imagined
that this hard, dry, greenish j
fruit would, when preserved, be
transformed into a delicious red-'
dish amber substance with a de
lightful flavor? And who but a
genius with equal imaginative
powers could have conceived the
idea of making preserves from
watermelon rind?
Doubtless these two unknown
pioneers met the fate of other:
persons who undertake extraor- J
dinary projects and are regarded
as a bit queer. Were they alive
today, however, they would have
the satisfaction of pointing with
pride to the jars and jars of
watermelon and quince preserv
es which women the nation over
put up every' year.
These women have found that
the very solidity of the quince
and the watermelon rind is a
point in their favor when it com
es to making preserves. One of
he first requirements of any
fruit that is to undergo this form
at sugar preservation is that it
be able to retain its shape thru
out the cooking process.
in the ideal preserves the fru:t
should be whole or in fairly large
pieces. These pieces should be
clear and tender without being
either soft or mushy and should
have their characteristic fruit
flavor and color. The fruit should
be surrounded by a thick syrup
or a jellied juice.
Clingstone peaches, yellow to
matoes, crabapples, and Kieffer
pears—all available in the early
fall—also are excellent for use in
pres Tves. Many of these fruits
are grown in the family orchard
or garden. Some of the pears and
quinces might even go to waste
othewise.
Scientist of the Bureau of Home
Economics have been experiment
ing with sugar preservation of
fruit for several years. They have
found that although each differ
ent fruit must be treated indiv
idually, there are certain general
rules that apply to all fruits to
be preserved.
Firm-ripe rather than soft- ripe
is the best stage of fruit for pre
serving, If cooked whole, the
friut should be uniform in size.
If cut into pieces, these should be
uniform. If all are approximately
the same size they will cook in
the same length of time. In addi
tion, the finished preserve will be
more attractve.
“Weigh your ingredients,” say
these experts. A pint of prepared
fruit may vary in content with
the shape and size of the pieces
of fruit, the way the fruit is pack
ed in the measuring cup and with
fruits of different pickings. But
a pound is always a pound and
a more dependable standard to
use in gattinig correct propor
tions.
In home preserving it is pre
ferable to cook small portions of
fruit at a time. About 6 or 8
pounds make a satisfactory
amount. Ths smaller quantity is
more easily handled, more quick
ly and evenly cooked through
out than an unwieldy larger
amount.
In the process of preserving,
the natural juices of the fruit are
gradually withdrawn. The fruit
absorbs some of the sugar sirup
in which it cooked to replace the
juice lost. If the sugar solution
is too concentrated at the start
