School Notes
All the teachers of our school stand j
for good reading and clean, accurate
speaking. Every pupil is required in
every recitation to stand erect, enun
ciate clearly and forcibly, and look
directly at the teacher, or at the class.
-Newton Technical High School.

The school is the finest place in the
world to teach a truly American re
spect for the rights of others. But
the home and the general trend of
the times are leading to the growth
of unexampled selfishness. Children
show no respect for the rights of oth
ers. The mother whose only answer
to a woman injured on the head by
Urttr writes ltrll/llw i
playing in a store was “Too bad
about you!" was bringing that boy up
in the Bolshevist doctrine that no
one’s rights stood against his desires.
There was never so great a need as
now for teaching the truly American
doctrine, “My rights end where the
other fellow’s begin.”—Etta V. Leigh
ton in Popular Educator.

Pupils’ Notes 1
The boys in the High School have :
almost twice as many stars as the 1
girls, which shows that the girls do
mot attend school as regularly as the
iboys do. Last month the girls had
to “borrow” stars from the boys.— 1
Eugene Tibbs.
The advanced class in ancient his
tory are studying the introductory ’
section of the history. For Thursday’s >
lesson the class drew maps of the s
Roman Empire showing the impor- 1
tant boundaries and historical roads.
An examination was given by Miss i
White on Tuesday afternoon.—E. O'L. I <
Late issues of the Current Event i 1

Book shelves are an added improve- I
ment to the schools. These shelves 1
were necessary, as library space was 1
limited.

we have a shelf exclusively for cur- *
rent reading material. Copies of the j
Literary Digest, Life, Boys’ Life, Men-j (
tor, Current Opinion, Popular Meehan- i
ics and the Geographical Magazine 1
may be found there. These maga- t
zines afford the pupils educational and j
humorous reading matter. Others will <
be added to our list.—E. O’L.

somewhat hampered in our work by
being unable to distinguish the writ- |
ing on the blackboards, but recently
they were given a coat of paint, which
has improved them.—E. O’L. I
Some of the girls from the sixth .

The sophomore English class wrote
plays about good and bad English
last Wednesday. From all appear
ances it seems that good English is
the victor. The pupils’ imaginations
are not lacking in portraying the

be victors in overcoming slang and
incorrect grammar.—M. F.

will soon be made ready to send to
Palmer for correction.—M. F.

used in the other rooms if it proves
satisfactory.—M. F.

The freshmen had a test in history
in Thursday. They took it with the
greatest of pleasure (?).—M. F.
Almost all of the High School pupils

Floor Hack,” with Sir Forbes Robert
son as leading man. The play was
discussed in the English classes the
following day.—L. C.
A party of the H. S. girls who are
under the supervision of Miss Ellen
Fraisure in fancy dancing for the big
bazaar dance December 5 met last
Wednesday at the home of Miss Ethel
Graham, on Railroad row. to practice.
An astonishing amount of skill was
shown in the quickness with which
the pupils adopted the new steps.—
L. C.
Many of the boys have been taking
advantage of the fresh fall of snow
to have some excitiing snowball
lights.—I,. C.
During the laS't week the typewrit
ing pupils have been having a little |
word study on their own account. I
Among other things, they have dis- -
cussed Miss White’s favorite word,
which was decided unanimously to be
the word “re-write.”
The sophomore English class is
busy writing plays for good speech
week. The slang expressions are
tersonified in these plays, and of
:ourse the hero, “Good English,” wins
n all of them. The class are having
nuch fun using their imaginations,
ind most of the pupils never realized
tefore how much slang they really
10 use.— iv. ii.
