LLLiLLL:l1L.l fYTYTTTYY1mfTTYYT1TY! Wluat The Government Gives Us I cinment docs for you the pupils of McKinley Jumor High School? The goveinment has provided us with large iec- , itation rooms where there is plenty ofventilation and light. We also are provided with free text books, good teachers, a large aud- itorium, a good, sanitary cafeteria, and, as in most schools, physical education is taught. The purpose of this is to give the children such recreation in sports that can not be obtained at most homes. This helps to increase the -number of bright, healthy, and intelligent chil- dren who in the future will be the voters of the United States. Safety zones are now provided by the Police Department for the school children who, like many pedestrians, are often careless in cross- ing the streets, and in many places a policeman is stationed at the schools, to see that the children cross the streets in safety. The government has also provided homes for children whose fath- ers had been either soldiers or sailors. Here they have the same op- portunities as other children who have both parents. All of these things the government has do-ne for children like the pupils of McKinley Junior High School, so the least we can do is to express our appreciation by 'showing good citizenship qualities and by doing our best to care for our fine school, and the books we have the privilege to use. -We should all practice thrift and be saving of our pens, papers, pencils, and other school materials which are furnished for our use.-Bernice Lucier, H.
