 Students' Slang.
 AS representing the product of stu dents of English in the local high school the following, announcing a coming basketball game, may charita- bly, be accepted as not being indicative of the best the students are capable of in use of the language: ''The salt air lads Ca New London tean) claim the distinction of being unbeaten this season and are coming here to show the up-country gfnks how to do it. The local quintet is determined to send the visitors home with grit in their teeth. It will be some gameNbelieve mei''
 The town of Killfngly has provided efficient teachers and other means for students in it's high school to acquire a more complete knowledge of the English language than is afforded in the graded schools in the town, which which will rank with the best in the state. The taxpayers give liberalIy of their money to meet the heavy costs of the schools Yet notwithstanding the best efforts of a superior teaching all essential and necessary text books. and in spite of admonitions to avoid the use of slang phrases and expres- sions that have no honorable standing in English literature, or elsewhere, ginks, believe me-" and like vul- garisms are constantly manifest in the athletic announcements and in the pri- vate correspondence of the students
 The responsibility resss wholly and absolutely on the students, but not upon all of them, for there is a large percentage making the most of the op- portunfties offered to acquire other than poverty stricken vocabulary from the wealth of English words and their possible combinations and leg ftimate uses. '.Gink' and s'belieye me" sayor of the slums and their get not of what should be the style in writing or speech of modern high school student The fault is superficial rath- CT than basic. however, though none the more excusable on that account for all of the students are capable of avoiding the casting. of such a ref1ec- tion upon the school of which they all feel so proud as is done by the use of cheap expressions and gutter Eng lish. Undoubtedly the prize essay students will show the reverse of this picture, for the satisfaction and edi- 1cation of those who pay the school bills.
