YOU Courtesy oUR'rEsY is an essential factor in the mak- ing of one's character. The term courtesy is but one little word composed of several small acts. In general, it includes appearance. behavior and conservation. To observe the courtesy rules connected with the three main divisions, marks one as a gentleman or lady who stands out among all others. There are many ways, however, in which one may attend to each of these. Appearance, which perhaps is the most im- portant, does not mean you must be clad in ex- pensive clothing. In order to appear to your best advantage, keep your clothing clean and pressed neatly. Care for your nails, ha.ir and face and train yourself to be tidy. These are among the most important points in the making of your appearance. When out in a crowd, one should respect the line of progress. If necessary to advance out of turn, don't push. The best way is to use a little geliberation accompanied with I beg your par- on. If your voice or conduct attracts attention in public, it gives the impression that you are loud and common, In order to acquire self-posses- sion you must be restrained, tranquil and quiet. When eating, one does not have to chew loud to show the appreciation of ameal, chew slowly and noiselessly with your mouth closed. Form a civic habit by making a practice of picking up at least one piece of paper every time you enter the corridor, and never laugh at accidents or misfortunes of others even if they are funny. When speaking, speak distinctly, standing erect on both feet. Don't let yourself be consid- ered as a vulgar person by trying to attract at- tention with your Voice and do not use profane or slang language. Laconically, Do Right. It is the most natural thing in the world to meet courtesy in your life. The lack of social intelligence is often a failure. After experience, many people take courtesy in consideration as an asset, as everyone should. Take heed! Be courteous at home as well as in public and give your school a name by showing how courteous you boys and girls are. Remember the adage of Emerson: Life is not so long but there is always time for courtesy? Angeline Smokoska IE: fl! 41 ik When Noah sailed the waters blue, He had his troubles, same as you. For forty days he drove the ark Before he could find a place to park!

The textbook used is: Problems in General Science, by Hunter and Whitman. In ninth grades we cover a number of units- Among them are the following: Electricity and its Uses, Power Machines and the Work of the World, Communication, The Earth and its Neighbors, Time and the Seasons, Weather and Climate, How the Earth Has Been Prepared for Life, The Sky, Sun, Moon, Stars, Constellation of Lite on the Earth, and Life on the Earth. The unit on transportation was ommitted because of the fact that the business classes studied that subject. Each student must complete, write up, and work a certain number of experiments.
