some instructions with regard to the
work which they are doing for the
school page. so here goes.
In the first place. always write
on one side of the paper only A
great many of the editors write
on both sides of the paper, but
they shouldn't do IL. as II Is very
inconvenient TO read, and besides II
shouldn't be done either for school
work or any other composition
work.
Always write names OF persons
and things very plainly and to make
doubly plain the games should be
written out In capitals.
Never crowd the words on a line
Don't try TO squeeze word In very
small letters SO as TO make IL illeg.
ible while the rest OF the line is
written in large, plain letters.
Always write your items very
carefully. Never hurry through
them In "any old way" but put
your best efforts into them and you
will be repaid for your trouble and
for the extra time which you are
putting on the items. by the great
amount OF interest which Is taken
In the items of your school, not
only by students at your school.

other persons whom you know.
