CASS TECHNICAL HIGH
EVENING SCHOOL
RY HERslAN BARCUs


The evening schools are soon 10
close. The appropriation has been
exhausted. and q successful term will
come to an end the middle OF Feb
ruary. The appropriation was origi-
nally intended TO hold out until 100
nights had been run In each evening
school. but on account OF extra
schools being opened and many more
students than expected coming, only
so nights will be run.
IL you are intending to attend an
evening school next term you can be
OF great service II you will write to
the Board OF Education and tell them
that you are going TO attend evening
school next term; tell them in which
school you intend enrolling and the
studies you expect to take. You may
perhaps also tell them how much you
think OF evening schools In general
and how much you az an individual
have been benefited by them.
These letters may be OF great help
to all concerned. as they will give
the Board OF Education and the board
OF estimators some figures on which
to base their appropriation. Every
letter may be the cause or $40 IN
crease In the amount Of money the
evening school system will be allotted
this coming term. SO you see it's up
to you.
1t may be advisable to write these
letters just as soon as the evening
schools are closed for the term.

FIELD SCHOOL.

Detroit, as you must know. Is a
very historical city. 1t was first
claimed and settled by the French.
They claimed IT until the French and
Indian war. when 1t fell into the hands
OF the English.
During the revolutionary war the
territory north of the Ohio and east
OF the Mississippi was the scene of
much fighting. Early in 1878 George
Roger Clark led an expedition into
the region, and in 1879 compelled the
English to surrender. So the terri
tory. including Michigan. came into
the hands OF the Americans.
In the war of 1924 the surrender
of Hull's army to the British was no
doubt prompted by the isolated posi-
ton of Detroit.

There was once a dog who was very
cross. His kennel was In the back
yard. Whenever any chickens came
near he would snap at them. But
there was somebody whom he did not
snap at. Can you guess who that
was? 1t was the gray goose. They
became friends. He would alloy the
goose to go into the kennel. The dog
would let her sleep there. He allowed
her to make her nest and she laid he.

disturb her. At the end of three
weeks the eggs Matched and six little

"THE STUDY l LIKE BEST
BY LILLIAN GORDON, b..
Washington School.

To me the most interesting study
at school Is language. like this par.
ticular study because Il teaches me
many things. In our English or Ian
guage class, we learn how to form
words into sentences. sentences into
paragraphs, paragraphs into stories,
etc. IL we did not have language, we
would not be able to talk to anybody,
or rather they would not understand
us. We also learn how to write
stories. and that helps, us, because
sometimes there Is an opening for
someone who can write a story for q
newspaper or a magazine, and a GER
tain amount OF money Is often given
as a prize. IL we did not write stories
In our language work at school, we
could not enter these contests.
We learn to write advertisements
and answer them. Tf we did not
write them VIC could not apply for a
position. for the employer would like
an employee who could be understood.

Fred L. Keller. superintendent Of
public instruction. says: "The people
OF our state are not familiar
with the national anthems" After
thinking over the matter, he came 70
the conclusion that the only remedy
was to have the children memorizs
the songs. He sent to each school
In Detroit copies OF the two national
songs. requesting them to be taught
In the third week OF January.
The teacher OF the A-3 grade, Miss
Cooney, took the opportunity in cor
relating the reading and music. The
story of The Star Spangled Banner
In the book Great Americans For LIT
tie Americans" was used. The chill.
dren took turns In reading 1t, nrst
one, then the other. When they came
to the words OF the chorus, Miss
Cooney would give them the note and
the whole class would sing Il. This
though an unusual way, proved very
beneficial, because the children get
the real meaning Of the song and en-
Joy IL better. They also learn the
words correctly.
