THE .IILASE Dear Sir 1- How I do wish that the heating ot' the school could be regulated! Une day it is so hot that I roast. The next day I come to school in a cool summer dress. Either fate or the furnace is against me. for. sure enough. the school is so cold that I cannot sit still for shivering. Something should be done and something must be done. I am leaving it to the editor as I have great confidence in your ability. I remain Yours truly, 'LX llevoted Reader of the Must-.' Dear Editor:- lly complaint regards the Hlec Club or rather the lack ot' one. I would like to lfnow why a school like Malvern has not a Glee Club! This could be formed for boys and girls or may be a separate one for each. If such a club were to be organized I am sure we would have a chance for the cup that is offered each year at the HY . Hoping to hear about it soon. Yours anxiously. A Third Former. Dear Editor :- The subject of homework seems to be a worn out one and every time it is mentioned to the teachers. they either appear bored or disgusted. However quite recently an article appeared in The Saturday Nighty, on the Tyranny of Home Work, which seemed to me to be quite fair and logical. The writer went on to say that it would be difficult, if not impossible for teachers to cover their work if they did not give a certain amount of home work. But the evil of permitting the teacher to determine how much time shall be spent on his work outside of school is very acute. One teacher does not see the sum total of the homework given: he sees only his own perhaps quite moderate assignment. Or he may be impelled by a spirit of competition Las one teacher feels a natural impulse to stand up for his rightsb and hearing that another is giving a good deal. also makes his assignment heavy. The result is that the poor pupil is the unfortunate victim. Hoping the teachers will some day recognize this side of the argument. Yours in consternation A Fifth Former. A TRIOLET To take chemistry NVhen 'twas so trying How silly of me To take chemistry! All laughed with glee As I went flying To take chemistry XYhen 'twas so trying -17.-
