THE How T0 HEALTH AHB HAPPINESS u, VERY helpful department in the school is the Corrective Speech De- partment, in which all pupils who have a defect in their spech are 't helped hy different methods. Exercises in reading aloud, in concert lf pl and alone, in singing, in breathing, in relaxation, in phonics,, and in de- veloping the muscles of the mouth are given to improve hesitancy of speech. ' Miss Marie Lawton of the Speech Department reports to our school every Monday morning. She conducts small classes, though all pupils who need to do so may take advantage of this privilege. Each one receives indivicimial at- tention. Many pupils taking this corrective work have been able to overcome the defect in their speech, which would in time have hampered them in their way to success and happiness.-Lormic Sanders, AQ.

7 Q NoR Bios: WE ALWAYSATHOME I A clouds, silvery rivers that looked like ribbons, hamlets, and cities. On and on we Hew. January 3.-We arrived, happy, but stiff from our long ride, in our na- tional capital. From the air the streets of the city looked like the spokes of a wheel with the Capitol buildings as the hub. We stopped just long enough to take on gas and supplies, and then we were off again. 'Four hours later we flew over New York City, viewing the Statue of Liberty and the Bronx on the way, and sailing so close to the VVoolworth Building that Sauce Box cried out in alarm, Give us a lift or there will be a funeral. fcmuary 6.-We, flew over Gibraltar, and then crossed the Sahara Desert. Below us crept trains painted white, with windows of blue glass to protect the passengers from the too-friendly desert sun. January 8.-XVe landed in Cairo between a group of Arabs and llerbers, who were nghting. They were so surprised at our sudden appearance that they all fled in horror. Near Cairo We visited the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and King Tut's Tomb. January IO.-VVS visited the land of the I ygmies in the Great African For- est. Sauce Box exclaimed in scorn, More Scrubs! I thought we left them all at McKinley. The little fellows were so surprised and interested in our plane that they forgot to use their poisonous arrows. Tiggs, however, almost lost his life, for he was so sleek and ,fat that the little people wished to make a generous meal of him. ffzlmary 13.-VVe arrived in Bombay where we visited the Bazaars, the Towers of Silence, and took a short excursion to the Temples of Elephants. Vile adopted a pet monkey, but the poor little fellow was not treated very kindly by Tiggs and Sauce Box. ffZfl'IllUI'lV 18.-XVe sailed over Hongkong and say many llritish ships lying at anchor together with countless Chinese junks. ffm-zuzry 20.-NVE arrived in Peking and visited the Great XVall of China. I introduced Tiggs and Sauce Box to Chinese dishes, but they did not like them very well. I was surprised to discover that the Chinese sleep on the floor instead of in beds as we do, and .l found it difficult to fold myself up like a pocket-knife and eat off the floor. January 21.-We reached Tokyo, the city of cherry blossoms. There a festival was in progress and old and young were flying curious kites. J January 23.--XIVC turned our trusty plane homeward. In the distance we caught sight of a zeppelin. Tiggs must have taken it for a huge sausage, for he barked and licked chops in anticipation. Ja-:mary 30.-We sighted California at sunrise. Four hours later my faith- ful companions and I arrived at dear old McKinley, where we at once attracted a large crowd. Cameras clicked all around me as everyone hastened to take my uicture, and three Trail reporters rushed up to hear the news, My! but it ivas great to be home again l-I-Vinifred Gram, I37.

The person that is of proportionate weight is healthier and better looking than the person that is underweight. Being under- weight also causes bad posture. , Every day at the third period the girls have their daily hottle of milk and are allowed to be late to their third period class. A chart is kept, on which each girl can see whether she has lost or gained. It is very interesting to . I A I t Y ri: V 4, f-lad li i Ll' ff-. - 1 i - -A V l:5 :Qa1-..
