lions. and you can be sure that no
one regrets the termination of this
most terrifying period. The results
OF the AS class examinations can
briefly be itemized as follows: His
tory--Two papers received the per-
centage Of 100 per cent. The proud
possessors OF these papers were Leo
Kalmonowitx and Arthur Rothman.
Spelling--Wit the exception Of one
persons, no one received less than 30
per cent. while nine pupils received
100 per cent. We have every reason
to feel especially proud Of our spell
ing marks. Grsmmar-Only one per-
son received 100 per cent In gram
mar. This pupil is Lillian Birndorf.
Good work. Lillian The next high
est per cent was 80. On the whole
the AS class has done well In the
exams, but let us hope that they
will do even better'the next marking.
The AS spelling work Is made In.
teresting by spell-downs. Thus far
they have had three spell-downs.
two of which the girls have won.
For shame. boys! II seems a. though
the girls will prove intellectually
stronger than you, at least In spell
ing. Brace up, and show what you
can do!
The AS class Is reading Julius
Caesar" and Treasure Island" Al
though the immortal Shakespeare's
works are classics, we think that
the class, anyway the boys. enjoy
Treasure Island" little more.
The girls OF the AS grade are
reading Miles Standish." The boys
have completed THE King of the
Golden River" and are now engag.
ed In reading RIP Van Wmkle."

OF flies partly through the agency
of screens. A modern sewer sys.
TEN has largely taken the place of
the old-fashioned privy vault.
The role played by this little dis
ease carrier In the transmission of
disease may not be SO evident In
Detroit, still 1t Is undoubtedly there
to some extent ut any rate.
During the last half Of the year
1914. 81 per cent Of the typhoid
cases reported to the board OF
Health were directly creditable to
contact, either direct or indirect
with the ny.
AS we have seen. the fly Is q very
potent disease factor In the matter
of indirect contact since 1t does not
only carry the germ but forms q
medium for the development and
growth of the germ. Should we ad'
NIT that we are unable to control
or exterminate an insect SO insig
nificant In size a. the house ny!
We certainly should not, since we
have at hand the necessary facts
by which we can carry on our cam
paign.
However. we must have the CO.
operation of the people as a whole
and individually, and they can be
reached only by education. They
must be told why the fly Is not only
pest and nuisance but likewise
menace to our health, and then
they must be shown how to main
tain the fight against the little in
sect.
Fortunately flies do not travel q
great distance. One experimenteE
carefully colored the wings of some
$4,000 flies with red or yellow chalk
powder and then released them at
different times under varying
weather conditions. He observed
that no ny travelled 1000 II. and
that the average under ordinary
city conditions. with houses densely
crowded together would not exceed
over 1900 feet.
The fiies which feed and breed In
your own home refuse pals and In
the manure piles In back OF your
barn, are the very ones which win
carry dirt, filth and disease germs
into your own home. See to 1t that
your own premises and those OF
your neighbors are kept in a SAM
tary conditions
The fly is usually born In a ma
nure pile. although he may choose
his abode-garbage. refuse, rubbish
or other organic matter. The fe!
male ny lays about 1000 eggs dur
ing a season and about 100 eggs At
one time. These eggs In q few
hours become maggots, and after
another transforms ton, the full
grown ny appears at the end OF ten
days. A famous entom0logist has
figured that, starting In April with
a single Overwhelming ny laying Its
first eggs, by September there will
be by the simple process OF repro
duction, q formidable army Of $685.
720, 900 adult flies. What multiple
of "swats" in September could have
been saved by single well-directed
swat in April!

A NOTE OF
INTEREST TO THE
SCHOOL EDITORS


The following open letter 10 sent
by Reginald Brewer to all of the
junior editors of the school page.
1t is direct appeal to sil and
should be acted on.
There are great many junior
editors who don't even know what
the club is or its objects are.
II you are one Of them, come
down to the next meeting and
everything will be explained.
Fellow Editors:
AS charter member of The De-
troit Times School Department. and
az editor-in-chief Of Eastern high, I
take a great interest In the welfare
OF the junior editors and of the
school department.
Ever since the commencement Of
the school page, there has been q
lack of cooperation; that is, all
editors have worked for their
school and themselves and have
not manifested any interest In the
doings of their colleagues.
Therefore. the school editor and
several of his friends have been
trying to conceive some plan by
which ell the editors could come
In intimate contact with "the other
fellow" and the best solution seems
to be an Editors club.
One or two meetings were held at
the Board Of Health building. but
without success. but now our plans
have shaped. 20 that we can handle
the proposition upon q larger scale
and We wish to see every live editor
take an interest In the club.
The prospects Of the School De-
partmsnt are 20 great that they
cannot be realized. but up until the
present time. the lack Of success In
the School Editors club was due
to not enough system" System, sys-
tenn Ia the word, and system IL only
produced by every one working in
harmony with each other. Now,
the fact that we realise that the
editors must know each other, is
the stepping stone 10 our plan Of
system" II has always been
known that two heads are better
than one" but nevertheless better
results could be secured II we could
all meet together and discuss our
wants and complaints"
Perhaps some editor out In Del
ray has some fine idea. which. II
only brought out. would improve
the work of some other editor or
school. and that IL what We want
some means Of discussing ways and
means Of securing better results.
Now! Everybody BOOST" and
boost hard. We want every Junior
editor present at our next meeting.
Monday, Nov. 1. at 1880 p. m, 1t
The Detroit Times once; and girls.
don't be afraid to come. this club
is for the girls as well as for the
boys, and we want everybody there
next Monday.
There are three things to remem-
Der: u
Remember the place. The Detroit
Times building. Remember the
time, Monday, Nov. I, 1880 p. m.
And. above all, remember to come.
Bring the other fellow with You
and wen do the rest. Don't for
get. Yours, sincerely,
