Superintendent OF C,ty schools.

Vi CiIy SCHOOLS
The Superintendent called attention to
the fact that the opening of the present
term OF school has aggravated the long
complained of fault with the schools, that
OF want of room for pupils. All the
school buildings are over-crowded and at
the beginning of this term as many as 100
pupils have been turned away for want of
room. He asked that the board take some
decided stand in the matter.
Then Superintendent Search drew
long breath and read the following report:
THE, discipline of our schools has been
seriously. disturbed during the past
month, by the misdemeanor of several
members of the senior class of the High
School. Upon the night of January 3ist
these offenders, or others working with
them, broke into the building and

also cut the ropes that hoist the national
flag and painted the flagstaff from top to

"While this may have been intended as a
class prank, it was in open violation OF
every principle of law, and deserved
severe punishment. As it was done in
the class name and under the class
colors, and was not repudiated by the
class, the principal of the High School
suspended the nineteen members of the
class known as the ALPS and one other
student.

of damages, the offenders, as well as the
others supporting them, were all rein
stated to full membership, and are now at
work in the school.
Of The principal of the High School is
deserving OF credit for the firm stand
taken in the interest of law and order.

THE ART OF SLANG
Terse Phrases That Embody Poems and Involve
Human Interest

In his "reminiscences of Robert Louis
Stevenson, just published, Andrew Lang
says that purist as he was, Stevenson
fairly reveled in slang
He was not singular in that Victor
Hugo had the same taste for it, as other
celebrated writers have had. However
carefully they avoided its use in their
writings, as did Stevenson in his, it at
tracted them because of the force and
compactness with which it expresses the
striving TO make themselves understood.
Trench writes that in some parts of
Europe the peasants go through life using
only a few hundred words, and these for
the most part in set phrases. 1t is out of
this habit of the human mind that slang
grows, and as the human mind expresses
itself only through metaphor, slang is
often highly poetical.
