' The fame of Washington stands apart from every other in history shining with s truer lustro and a more benignant glory. with us 'his memory remains a national property, where all sympathies throughout our widely extended diversified empire meet in unlslon.

Dorothy Snodgrass lO W 4 W tion is called to the birthdays of two famous men who have con- tributed much to our society. Because of the great contrast in Washington and Lincoln, we know ,that neither handicaps nor favors lcompletely WmakeW a DGPSOH- 2Llncoln was poor and suffered imany defects, but he finally ibecame victorious, winning favor with all classes of people. Un- like Lincoln, Washington was aristocratic and well-educated the 'easy wayW, but he understood -the common man, too. With examples before us, like the experiences of these two great men, we should take advant- age of all opportunities tobetter ourselves and be thankful that the way is less difficult for us. When wethink of the difficulty Lincoln had in educating himself, never again should we let one piece 'of knowledge pass without grasping at least a part of it. ,Before we complain about the inconveniences of our education, '1et's think how insignificant they are as compared with Lincoln's. ' Also, a good education is a necessity for our complex society of today. In order to maintain the high civilization of our country, our education will have to be high and more universal. Most important of aD, a democracy cannot kng endure without a well- informed public, and the public will not be wellbinformed without education. Even the right man- ipulation of our many complex machines requires s good educa- tion. So, to become -better American citizens and to enjoy happier and fuller lives, may we strive on for the best education possible. . ..... .... Be able to use minutes.

Among the various fields of work reviewed in order to help this year's graduates in select- ing a 1ife's work were: Agri- culture, Aviation, Mechanics' Trades, Electricity, Beauty Cul- ture, Home-making, Secretarial work, Teaching, Music, Etc. A series was held by The speakers remained in their rooms after their group confer- ences so that anyone who was un- able to attend the group meeting could haves private consultation. All Seniors of Delaware County were invited to this splendid meeting. The Seniors of Eaton left the school building in time to arrive in Muncie at 8:40 which was the time set for the morn- ing program. This program was constructive, helpful, and interesting to the students. The officials of Mun- cie are to be complimented for their having taken a step for- ward in the advancement of a use- ful, practical, and forceful method of teaching and aiding 'Young Amer1ca.W SENIOR MYSTERY DRAMA HELL GIVEN The Senior play HSinister Sta- tion,N which was given in the Eaton School Auditorium, January 31, proved to be very successful 'E The cast did a remarkable job in presenting this mystery-comedy and the audience was surprised to learn that the detective, played by Howard Roberts, turned out ,to be the villian.

' A testing cycle which covers accuracy and speed is in progres . A WBig Ten' chart records the high ten speeds in the class following each speed test. These speed tests are alternated with accuracy tests which are recorded daily on a 'Bull's Eye Chart.' If no errors are made an arrow with the student's name on it is placed in the center circle. If one error is made, the arrow is placed in the first Wcircleg if two are made, the arrow is placed in the second circle. More than two errors places the student's arrow in the field. , On the side bulletin board is a theromemeter for each student. As speed increases the Wredn mer- cury of the theromemeter rises. In this manner the up to date record of one's best speed is kept. Interest in the charts has been high and they make the oth- erwise monotonous testing seem somewhat intreging as students watch their individual daily progress. The importance Of the type- writer to the army is unques- tioned. It is used in such types of army work as preparation of correspondence, bulletins, memo- randa, circulars, general orders, special orders, various forms, and many other miscellaneous military matters. However, accuracy is absolutely necessary in this work. There is but one standard for the work. It must be correct! Students who have learned the touch system of typing in high school have been aided in many ways in both civilian and mili- tary roles. February :mics BELIEVE 'TRIPS ARE Ezworan sy Am. srnmmvrs Local Science-Department Makes Extensive Use of Films In Visual Eduo'l Program The science QQPQLWQQP- has made excellent use of the sound movie projector purchased last year. In the field of biology and physics there are many educa- tional films available. While studying the unit of mammals in biology, we saw films showing how elephants are train- ed, the habits of the badger and gray squirrel, and reproduction of the rabbit from the time of the fertilization of the egg une' til the birth of the young rabbit, During these war days when travee ling is llmlted, we were able to enjoy a visit to the zoo in New York City, where we met many of the strange animals of the world. A colored film on the nesting and 'feeding habits of the ruby'Uuuat- ed humming bird was very instruc- tive-and interesting. I By movie, the physics class has visited the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York. There we saw the processes used in making films, cameras, and photographic paper, The inside workings of valves pistons, and ejeoters of Diesel engines have become more real to us whem visulized on the screen. Recently we traveled to Alaska with Lowell Thomas and Father Hubbard, the Glacier Priest, and with them visited the blrthplaces of 1ce4 bergs. These films are contracted through Indiana University, but are made by such companies as General Motors, Johns-Manville, Eastman Kodak, United States De- partment of Agriculture and Fox Films, Combining visuallearnlng with text book reading has proved both enjoyable and educational. soy scour Auuivamsaay ossmivso February 12 to 17 marked the 56th Anniversary' of the Boy Scouts in America.
