SUGGESTIONS

The January graduation has played
havoc with most OF the school edi-
torial staffs, In some instances the
entire stan being made up OF boys
and girls who will pass into higher
schools, thus leaving their schooi
without editorial representation In
this department
A few chief editors have made
necessary arrangements for continu'
ing the work after they leave the
school and assisted In reorganizing
the stan before going, but many OF
the schools will have TO have new
STAN entirely. For that reason We
ask the principals and teachers, or
some boy or girl interested In the
work, TO see II II is not possible TO
continue sending the news from their
school
To the schools that have not yet
had editorial representation In the
school Department OF The Times. let
US say again that We will be very
glad to have stan selected from
your school, and now In good time
to start. Select some boy or girl and
have them call at the ONCE for COM
plete information and instructions.
and In q short time your school will
be receiving the recognition TO wnicn
Il II entitled.
Albert White. a Clippert student.
wsA recommended for promotion on
an average OF s6,s per cent Tor al
examinations during the term. In the
90 ia m
trary, this IL the record.
Alger editors report the organiza-
ton OF new club for boys at the
Henry Utley branch library, the
Hero's club. The object is to READ
Of and study the character or Ameri-
can heroes.
Lillibridge adds another item to her
list of honors. The boys manual
training class Of BIT won the prize
for best behavior, neatness and dis
patch In putting away their tools,
offered by Mr.. Pickens. manual train
ing teacher. to four OF the school
under HIS care.
Russell school. that wonderful In
stitution of learning where practical
ideas are being applied to developing
the best that Is in boys and girls so
successfully, is now among US.
complete editorial staff has been Sc
lected. and the ,first lot Of items ap-
peared Monday. II you failed to read
them you should look up that copy
OF The Times and do 80. The descrip-
ton of the fresh air classes was espe-
cially interesting.
Doty school editors certainly had a
lot of interesting items in Mondays
paper. The description of the house
the kindergarten Riddles are building,
the account Of the luncheon the AS
girls gave to Miss Weatherby, prin-
cipal, and the teachers, and the meet
ing OF the Junior Civic league, with
their battle song" were all nicely
told.
Rather than diminishing. as was
predicted by some wiseacres, interest
in the School Department is steadily
increasing In all parts OF the city.
This 10 evident by the reluctance with
which editors going into higher
schools relinquish their membership
to their school stats, and by the fact
that SO many boys and girls are
anxious to be added to I'LL such va
cancies. Parents are unanimous in
expressions OF approval OF the plan
and are finding lot OF things among
the school items to hold their atten-
ton. They frankly admit that they
know more about the schools now
than ever before, and give the School
Department due credit for enlighten-
