LADIES' CLUB COmMENDS MER.
CHANTS CLEANUP CONTEST

The Ladies' Literary Club met
with Mrs. NJ. Moulton Friday after
noon, May 10. The president,
Mrs. J. L. Johnson called the meet
ing to order. The various commit
tees reported progress along lines in
which each is interested.
The report of the Home Interest
committee brought out a discussion
along sanitary measures and resolu-
tions were adopted commencing one
of our prominent business men for
the work done in cleaning up the
city. While others have talked
about it he has been doing and the
result is that the garbage piles have
been greatly reduced. Look out for
tho flies-they are surely coming.
The program for the day was to
commemorate Mothers Day. Roll
call was appropriately answered by
quotations from authors.
Mrs. E. NJ. Sly read paper on
Ethics of Social Hygiene" and
Mrs. G.. A. Hamilton read one on
Maternal Efficiency" Both were
excellent and were discussed with
interest. 1t was voted to send both
papers to the Reciprocity Bureau so
that other clubs might be helped by
them.
The next meeting will close the
years work and will be in the ma
ture Of an installation of officers and
a picnic on the beautiful lawn at E.

wrong kind Of Ideals" This was
one OF his strongest statements and
was his observation of moving-pic-
ture shows generally throughout the
country. The speaker said that the
theatre could be made wonderful
fsctor in education and advised uni
versal patronage of the right kind
OF performances and entertainment
and boycotting of the wrong kind
as the only method of bringing
about reform of the stage. He
thinks it would be splendid thing
if actors and actresses could be edu.
Gated for their profession by the
state, just as teachers in the schools
are.
Prot. Sampson is an advocate of
clubs and organizations in a COM
munlty, interpreting their greatest
usefulness to be in cooperation.
The press was named by the
speaker as one of the three fore.
most moulders of public sentiment.
since the newspapers reach all the
people and give the latest and most
up-to-date discussions of all prob
lens and events of the day. He
would make some changes in the
policy of the press if it's time hon.
o1ed customs could be revolution
lied. Signed editorials, more dis
eliminating advertising, and less
space relating to crimes and hor-
rors and more to virtue and hero
ism, are some of the reforms re-
commended.
In taking up the schools, Prof.
Sampson observed, THE whole
world is coming to school to Am
erica today" in referring to the
fact that foreign countries come to
the United States to study our
methods. He thinks that the sew
enth and eighth grades are among
some of the unnecessary work in
the schools and does not think the
study of physical science in any way
useful to girls. He would substi-
tute the science of reproduction,
judiciously taught; health and san
itation, domestic science and manu-
al training as subjects more neces-
sary to the betterment of the pupils
as a whole. He closed with a tri-
butte to efficiency of most teachers
in dealing with the problems of the
child, handicapped as they are by
the present school system-or rather
the system of the past-and advo-
Gated higher salaries and better
training for them. Prof. Sampson
is one of the men who believe that
the education of the child should
be entrusted to none who are not
trained specialists in their line. The
school teachers salaries in Washing
ton at present furnish little incen-
tive to any ambitious educator to
become better qualified as an in
structor and the best are leaving
the ranks to seek occupations more
remunerative.

Introduced the speaker of the even
iue, Prof. H. c. Sampson, former
" Of Cheney Normal. After a few
Introductory remarks, characteris-
ticslly humorous, he announced his
u,biect to be THE Making of a Com
munity' and commented upon the
many changes for the better he had
noted in Kennewick since his first
visit to the city some wears ago. He
mentioned the changed ideals as to
what should be embraced in a high
school education and heartily en-
dorsed all that had been stated by
Miss Holmes, also noting the ad-
vance in civic improvement and
general betterment throughout the
state made in recent years.
Communities do not just hap
pen like Topsy, but are made by
some prominent line of action, "
commented Mr.. Sampson. He went
on to say that a community is like
an Individual, in that it receives it's
characteristics from general envir-
onment and also like the nation, in
that it is made up of many types of
individuals. He believes the seven
different constructive factors in
community building are the church,
theatre, club or organization, pub
lie library, the press, school and
home. In early days the church
was the biggest factor of all and
made its impress on all the other
factors, determining their character
balarge extent and actually mould
ing the community. Prof. Samp-
son mentioned some of the weak
nesses Of the church as modern
organization and criticized it for its
lack of thoroughness, as he believes
thatit should be run upon more
democratic principles with less con-
consideration of caste.
One Of the greatest evils of the

ample Of the results of the modern
high school education and its mem
bers have made clean records during
the several years that they have
been enrolled in the city's schools.
All are students of marked ability
and each has attained some promi-
hence among his or her schoolmates
in some line of individual endeavor.
1t is with regret that the school
bids them farewell for, although
many others will follow, this years
seniors have endeared themselves to
faculty and students, in their pro-
gress toward the final goal of their
ambiti ons-commencement night.
The class boasts of circumstance
which is unusual in the annals of
any high school subject to the
ever-changing conditions in the Or
binary community which effect the
school enrolment. Seven of the
eleven graduates have been school
mates for seven years, having
climbed upward, side by side, from
the sixth grade. As children they
began their acquaintance in the ear
ly days of Kennewick, attending
school in the old building down on
Front street, under the supervision
of their teachers, Harley Peters and
J. E. Plummer. The signal for
dismissal was the passing of the
noon train and the youngsters kept
themselves busy plotting against the
teachers. (Those who are wise in
high school lore say that they have
not yet outgrown their childish
ways.
Ralph Boone, president of the
class, was formerly student in the
Palouse City school. In both cities
his grades were satisfactory. Earl
Larkin, vice-president, has distin-
guished himself in athletics in each
year. 8 activities in basket and foot
ball and as seniors he and Boone
have received many laurels in these
sports. Merrill Rawson, who came
to Kennewick from the preparatory
department of the University OF Ida
ho, and Irving Peckenpaugh have
also been prominent in high school
athletics and Miss Nellie Hoadlcy !
starred in basketball in her Fresh
man year. She was also member
of this years debating team. The
valedictorian, Miss Shirley Holmes,
and Miss Stella Hanson have been
in close competition for the highest
marks in every grade and have led
the class in achieving a high record
of scholarship. Miss Hoadley was
third in the race. Misses Helen
Carpenter, Hazel Durham and Ethel
Kimble are thorough and couscien-
tious students and Parker Audrian
also has an enviable reputation as a
worker. Practically all of the class
have been active in school enter
tainments and high school dramatic |
work and have credits in vocal ex-
preston.
