oIaHuoh RAINIER, member OF lne
Morley school editorial stan, who won
third prize ($l5) in the contest re-
Gently pulled on" by The Times, was
reported in the account OF the affair
as being from the Palmer school. His
name being the same as that OF the
school In which the second prize was
won, anu other condolences enterin &
into the matter, II is not greatly sur.
prisins that things were somewhat
twisted. Anyway, Stanley received
his money, Is consequently happy,
and Palmer school diselaims any de-
sire 10 hog" all the honors, so we
Tall TO see where any great harm has
resulted, Thus we hope 10 satisfy a
complaint received from member OF
the editorial stan OF Morley school.
In order that the school editors may
keep their hands In" and not go
stale on the job" we ask them TO send
in items just the same during the holt
day vacation as though school was in
session Write about what the boys
and girls are doing and any interest
Ing news occurring in your school dis
trict
Bellevue school has very interest
Ing graduating class this year. and
the members recently elected officers
for the conduct OF their business and
social affairs. We are very glad TO
see that the editors are taking more
interest in their work than formerly.
The editors OF Scripps school usual
fly find something quite interesting to
write about. and are fast establishing
a reputation as journalists of ability.
Their items OF the Gath inst. are well
worth reading. II you have not done
SO.
Nearly all the schools had Christmas
programs. and most Of them we're in
terestirgly reported by the editors.
Van Dyke especially was we'll taken
care OF by her editors, and the pro
gram must have been very interesting.
Harris school is very proud OF their
poet laureate, Edmund erode. and we
were pleased 10 be able TO publish one
of his poems in the Christmas day
edition of The Times. We consider II
quite clever
mot what We give, but what we
share, for the gift without the giver
is bare" Is a motto of the AS class at
Field school for governing their char
ity work, and In keeping with that
sentiment they aid unfortunates by
personal actions.
We hope you did not miss reading
the items from the Campbell school
editors Christmas day. They tell most
entertainingly OF great soccer game
between their team and that OF the
Duffield boys, as well as a lot OF other
nice items.
Doty editors have abundant con-
fidence In their soccer players, else
they would not tantalize that strong
bunch from Fairbanks. But as they
are so jolly and good natured about
IL We are sure any frown that may APP
pear Will vanish beneath a pleasant
smile.
Hubbard schools Christmas enter
tainment was a splendid one. and the
editors tell most Interestingly about it,
Messrs. Weisman and Resnick con-
tinue TO keer the readers or the
School Department we'll posted as to
what Is going on at Cass Tech, and
they tell about 1t just like "old-tim-
ers."
We like very much the style and
spirit OF the editors at Thomas school,
and their items in the Christmas is
sue of The Times were very fine. We
appreciate their cheerful greeting to
The Times and are sure the editors
of the other schools do also.
Estabrook boys and girls are re-
ioicing over the privilege OF utilizing
the Northwestern Fairgrounds, part
of which has been flooded for skating.
