There frm two ways of wasting time when reading. One is to read wild stories and the funny books. In the seventh ind eighth years we are required to read five books each sem- ester, We must make a report on each bvok read, Funny paper books are barred from our room They do not teoch rnything end it is a waste of time to read then. Gnngster und wild west stories are the vorst, M est peo- ple who read too many of this kind of stor- ies find themselves behind bars sometime in their lives. Get a book you think you will like and spend your time reading. Joe Biggs,7A. Longfellot was n great Amer- , icin poet. He was born in Port- heed bored down ond - .f'fend,Maine in 1867.

Qgjf f Sig? il - THE ENGLASH LANQUAGEHQQE-X ss sf me ve AN We fs -A1125 -QQ-' 'E THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ,Lim Deltz LITERATURE Language,written and spoken, is man's most valuable asset. How language first ar arose has long been a matter of debate,but it it is certain that it was originally much simpler than at present and that it develop- ed from groups of body movements and from sounds which had certain meanings abbitraril ly associated. As man's experience became more varied and complex,such gestures and sounds were elaborated and multiplied until there arose what might be called spoken language. Writ- ten language followed,when an ingenious man thought of making marks to represent spoken words. By writing a symbol for each sound an alphabet was devised and written speech was simplified. Thus communications could be sent long distances and thoughts could be recorded and preserved for later use. Each generation was thereby able to in struct the next and rapid progress in know- ledge and in skills became possible. Wilma Deltz,8A. if - f+s4+a+++a+s44aaa++4a+ WH I WOULD RATHER LIVE IN THE 'ITT. I would much rather live in the clqy than in the country for the simple reason that there are more things to do. You learn to know more about people because you live so close to them. There is a large variety of places to go and many people to go with. I think it is easier to keep a home nice in the outskirts of a city that entire- ly out in the country. The lawns can be kept pretty and green all summer and there can be a great variety of flowers. Mildred Yarman,8A. 44ss+w+s++a+aa4E+aaassaawaaawaaasaaa WHY I WOULD RATHER LIVE IN THE COUNTRY The reason I would rather live in the country than in the city is that I would much rather live on the farm where there are chickens,goats,horses,and cows and every- thing on that order. In addition to form,literature must have significant content. A statement of .tha rulesinf Latin grammar in perfect verse will not be great poetry. Without form a work is not leterature at allgwith out significance it cannot be great liter ature. If,then,we assume that the form is adequate,work of literature will be entit tled to a higher ranking in proportion as the truths with which it deals are of greater significance to h manity. Wilma Deltz,8A. xaawaaaaawwaaaaawaaa+4+w+44+w++4+a AMERICAN LITERATURE American literature,like,the litera- ture of all people who have migrated from lands already in an advanced stage of cul- ture,is not an original native growth. On the contrary,from the very first,American writers began with a long tradition be- hind them. They brought with them an intim ate familiarity with a rich literature and a deep interest in certain burning prob- lems of religion and conduct. Faced with a new and stubborn land to conquer,they had at best,little leisure to write,and even when the leisure was present,it was before they wrote with the confidence that they belonged to a people having an indi- viduality and a life of its own.
