A Tribute to Croker Grammar
MATHILDA BORDMAN

The steamer had really started. A
little girl stood on the deck, straining
her eyes to catch the last glimpse or
her native town ss II fast faded from
her view. With her mother she was
going 10 California to join her father,
who had sailed from the busy Russian
seaport years before.
After a week on the Atlantic ocean
they landed in New York, and shortly
after boarded a train for San Francisco.
About six months later she was sent 10
a primary school and in about year
from there to the Crocker grammar
senool, where she has been a pupil for
she landed in San Francisco. and IN
letter TO her cousin, who had asked her
about the San Francisco schools, she
wrote the following.
Here many people believe that
grammar schools do not teach much. In
all the time i have been going to the
Crocker grammar school | have learned
many things which are necessary 10

would meet with many difficulties all
through life. In the fifth. and sixth
grades grammar and arithmetic are
taught in simpler forms, with little
geography and history. But in the sey-
enth and eighth grades the grammar
and arithmetic courses are very high.
The geography gives good knowledge
of the world and its people, and the
history deals with that of the United
that any one taking the course should
be able TO spell the most difficult words
in the English language. Literature
all through the grades is not only of
high rank in. itself, but it develops
good taste for reading. In the seventh
and eighth grades the girls take up
domestic science and the boys manual
training. This. with many other les
sons, is what all the pupils learn. But
for me the Croeker school has done a
great deal more. | did not know

class, but with the help of my teacher

girls. The teachers, help all they can,

lessons than can be told but the most
beautiful is the lesson OF self-control

Well Known Cr0cker Student
Views the Great Canal
From Above

Father and | had planned to go to
the Panama canal. Father wanted TO
travel in a conventional way, by train,
but | suggested that we go in an air
ship. Without any further hesitation
he agreed, and so we set out, or, l
should say, we sailed out.
We had a splendid machine. and, as
my father is a good aviator, we sailed
through the skies at rapid gait. Some
of the strange things we met along the
way would surprise you. 1t seemed as
il the airship were an immense bird
Almost before we had realized 1t, we
had reached place directly over the
canal. almost jumped out of the
machine in my excitement and father
Immediately began to make q descent

hap at place quite near the scene
of operation, but the earth seemed so
tame to us that | urged father to sail
over the canal when we could obtain a
good view without being on terra firma.

have to hurry up with our fair build

Why Modern Languages Should
Be Taught in the Public
Schools
DOROTHY MACKAY

Whenever competent teachers can be
secured. | think that grammar school
pupils should learn the modern Lam
guages, especially German and French
They should begin the study of lam
guages when they reach the age Of
about 10 years. At this age it is easier
to acquire correct pronunciation, and
childrSn are not so likely to be ridi-
culed IL they make mistake. A child
of 10 is easier to interest than an older
pupil. and he is usually more anxious
to speak in a foreign tongue than in
his own; and he never forgets what lie
learns ii he is taught correctly.
The learning of a foreign language
makes a person accurate. 1t quickens
and strengthens the reasoning powers
because the, mastering of grammar re-
quires great deal of thought and con-
tains great many problems which can
be solved only by reasoning
great many of our words are taken
from foreign languages, especially Lat
in and German, and IL we understand
these languages we can find the real
meaning OF many English words
There are many beautiful books
written In foreign languages which
have never been translated into Eng
lish. and stories or poems always sound
better in the language in which they
are written.
Last but not least, is the value or
languages In travelling A tourist en-
joys himself much better when he Is
able to speak foreign tongue than
when he has to look up every word in
a pocket dictionary.

Cardboard Sloyd Work
FRANKLIN n. ARMSTRONG

Cardboard sloyd work is the begin
ming OF manual training. From the
sixth TO the eighth grades the boys
have manual training In all public
schools. Before manual training we
have cardboard sioyd work. which is to
prepare us for more difficult feats.
The first lesson we had to- learn was
how to make right angles, rectangles.
obtuse angles. acute angles; how to
draw oblique lines, vertical lines, hori-
zontal lines the dividing Of horizontal
lines in different lengths ranging from
five inches to ne-sixteenth of an inch,
At the second lesson we made drink
ing cup. We first made a six-inch
square, then doubled one end over to
meet the other end. Then we, doubled
the left end over to meet the right
oblique lines half way between the top
and right ends, We then went to
the right end and did the same This
left nap at the top. which we folded
over each side. We then had handy
drinking cup.
At the third lesson we made an
envelope of medium size which looked
like a real one. At our last lesson we
started a book cover which, when fin
ished, will be very useful for boys.

How He Felt About Il.

There was one man In Indianapolis
this week. who could appreciate the
position of the man in the musical
comedy. "A Modern Eve" who is the
lhen-pecked husband Of a suffragette.
Whether the understanding one is
resident Of the city or whether he is
one of the state fair visitors remains
"a mystery, but he Is not in sympathy
with the suffrage leader depicted IN
the play. He was diminutive per-
lsonage with long. flowing whiskers
and a very meek countenance.
The husband, who was dominated
by his wife, had summoned SUFFICIENT
courage to speak of the matter. His
narrative of his troubles ended with
the lines, Now, l am tired OF this, 1
am going to assert myself"
The audience applauded and the
small man was especially elated. "Bul-
ly." he cried. The exclamation brought
forth more applause than the lines.--

GRACE EXPECTED TO RECOVER.
Operation on Atlanta Man Shows
Spinal Cord Not Severed.

Newman, Ca, June 12.-Eugene
H. Grace, who was mysteriously shot
at his home in Atlanta last March,
and who has since been partially
paralyzed, was operated on to-day for
the removal of the bullet supposed to
have severed his spinal cord. The
ball was not removed, but it was
found that the spinal cord was not
severed, nor was the bullet in the
spinal column. It was embedded in
one of the vertebrae, causing it to
press against the cord. resulting in
paralysis. Grace showed no bad ef-
fects from the operation and is ex-
pected to recover.
Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, his wife,
formerly Of Philadelphia, who is
charged with the shooting, is now at
liberty on bond. Her trial is set for
the week Of June "a, but develop
ments in Grace's condition may result
in another postponement.
