Session Heightened.

r T.
The morning session will open at
s;45 a. M, instead OF O'Clock and
close for the noon period at 11:45.
One hour and fifteen minutes will
constitute the noon period-ffteen
minutes more than is required for
those engaged in business. The after
noon session will begin at 1 o'clock
and close at 4 o'clock.
This time schedule has many good
points in its favor, but chief among
them are first, the desirability OF hav-
Ing longer periods for laboratory sub
1ects such as domestic science, man
ual training, chemistry, physics,
biology, type writing, shorthand, etc.
Second: 1t gives the much needed
opportunity for supervised study, at q
time when right habits OF study are
OF prime Importance. In all subjects
which are not laboratory subjects the
pupil will devote the last fifteen min
utes Of each recitation hour to study,
under the teacher, or the lesson for
the following day. The teacher will
not study for him, but the aim will be
to conserve mental energy and there
by lead the pupils into the shortest
and best methods of thinking. II our
| natural resources must be conserved,
how much more our mental energies
upon which so much depends. 1t has
been said over and over again. that
when our boys and girls enter bust
ness or college they do not know how
to think to advantage.
Third: This plan should minimize
night study on the part of adolescent
youth: yet. the proper amount OF
carefully planned study should never
be lost sight of as part Of the stu

1t has been. four years since
Peter Mork tore himself from his
wife and babies in Norway to seek
his fortune in America. Young
and optimistic he was sure of his
ability to make living and build
n home for his people in Norway.
Peter came to Tacoma, bought
lots in the Oakland addition, built
himself shack and worked at his
trade as carpenter. He saved
enough money in two years to
bring Lessa Mork and his children
from the old country.
Then he set to work building a
real home--the SHACK was but a
temporary dwelling place. His
wife gave all the aid in her power.
They saved all the money they
could. He constructed the house
himself, sometimes working far
into the night. He spared no time,
no energy In his task. He was
toiling for his loved ones.
Today the home stands out in
Oakland addition, a pretty little
brown cottage among the FL
trees.
And now, Just when things
would seem to be a little easier
disaster has overtaken the Mork
household. The husband and faith.
er has been ta6en from them.

WHERE is PETER MORK NOW?

with four children under six de-
pendent on her, the outlook can
hardly be called promising. Mrs.
Mork can hardly keep the chill
dren, let alone save money. She
is handicapped by having no
knowledge of English.
All they have to look to are
their friends. There are few
who are doing all they can to
help about the place, and assist
in caring for little John, the baby
born since Mork was taken to the
asylum. Yet it would be an inn
position to expect them to pay
the necessary $40.
The only hope seem to be that
some of the Scandinavians I'm Ta-
coma give their aid and raise the
needed amountf. The MorIxs
could perhaps sell the home, or
at least mortgage 1t, for money
TO return to Norway.
But should the family be un-
able TO procure financial aid
what then?
