Miss Berry of State College Makes
q Strong Argument for

Despite its splendid high school

with other towns Of the state there
does not begin to be the interest here
in some of the practical phases of ed

almost any other town of the state.
For some reason, either in the school
system or because of failure on the
part of the community to recognize
it's opportunities instruction qualify
ing the boys and girls to become bet
ter producers more capable specialists
and logically better citizens is not de-
manded here by the high school boys
