JUNIOR LIFE S6 A Class in Sheet metal Sheet metal work is for boys. This shop is an interesting place in which to work. Here one learns in the first term, to make cooky cu.ters. biscuit cutters. match boxes, sugar scoops, funneis. drip-prns and lir. cups. In the second term, one makes a quart pan. a half pint .up, a w ste can and rectangular boxes. In the third term he makes an e.bow, a tee joint, a roo. flange and a tackle box. T hree kinds o.’ metal are used in this shop: black iron, tin plate and galvanized iron. Occasionally a little copper and brass is used. The best way. boys, to know about sheet metal work is to take this subject next term. You will like it and the more you learn about it the more you will enjoy it. Accuracy here is the key note of one’s success. Clarence Roessl. jokes NO DOUBT Young Lady (in drug store)—“Arc you a doctor?” Thomas (who jerks soda)— No madam. I'm a fizzician.

JUNE. 1925 35 A Class in Electricity WHY I LIKE ELECTRICITY Perhaps the essential reason why the boys like electricity is that there are many applications for its use and these applications are unfamiliar to the boys and even to a great many grownups. We study electricity only as it moves, that is. flows and does work. The purpose oi this study is to become familiar with the laws governing the effects and use of it rather than its nature. We do not know what it is, but we learn many things that it will do. Electricity in motion, lights lamps, drives motors retires metrls. raises to a high temperature all sorts of electrical heating devices energizes the telephone and telegraph. operates clocks and rings our doo:-bellr. M'gneiism in electricity makes possible many of the above. However, na g: etlsm is best approached from the experiment side, for only by such means will the magnetic and electrical forces become real to us. The essential nature of the propercy called magnetism is unknown. By magnetism is thus meant the ability a body has of attracting iron with a force which is neither gravitation nor due to mechanical action of ordinary matter, and which will tend to set the body in a north and south direction. It might be said that this is the Electrical Age in which we live, and yet what holds for the future, no man can say. But what is known is. that Electricity controls more trades, directs more men. offers moce opportunities than any other power which has yet come to the hand of man. Frederick Payne. DO YOU KNOW THAT— Linoleum wrs inverted sixty-five years ago? Two red-haired people seldom marry, as there seems to be an antipathy between people of opposite sexes with ' auburn'’ locks?

JUNE. 1925 37 EXCHANGES EXCHANGES We wish to acknowledge the receipt of the following school papers from various parts of the country. The first magazine that we pick up is: “The Rail-Splitter,” from the Lincoln Junior High School, Youngstown, Ohio. Their covers are always so attractive but the inner pages are even more so The next magazine is “The Amateur Reporter.” which is from Central Jr. High School. Charleston. West Virginia. Their magazine is very interesting and in their April issue the articles on April Fool were certainly en joyed. We wonder if an exchange column might not add to its assets. “The Parrish Periscope.” published by J. L. Parrish Junior High School of Salem. Oregon, is a newspaper, and it certainly is newsy. They have a very attractive name. Another paper is “The Junior Life.” which comes from the Ben Blewett Junior High School. St. Louis. Missouri. This paper arranges some of its articles very uniquely. “The Bloom School Journal” of the Lafayere Bloom Junior High School sent us another issue of its monthly pubbenion from our close neighbor. Cincinnati. Ohio. Thev have been most faithful in this respe't. If this paper is a representation of the '■o-operation between pupils, faculty and staff, then theirs must certainly be a model school.
