DODGE BROTHERS CHIEF
DECLARES PUBLIC HAS
r. NEED OF STANDARD CAR

In reviewing what the automobile
shows brought forth. Russell Huff,
chief engineer of Dodge Brothers,
says: .-.... ...- -
zone of the impressive facts as re-
vealed by an analysis of the inquiries
received from automobile show visit
ors is the growing respect of the pub
lie for the established models Of mo-
tor cars.
New types naturally have their
attraction, but the serious-minded per-
son looking for real investment, and
who cannot afford to play with an ex-
pertinent, wants a model which has
proven its reliability and established.
its worth by long use in the hands OF
thousands of owners. = ~.
"The keen buyer of today is fully
aware of the fact that proper motor
car values are established and pro-
| longed; first, b. giving the public a
car designed alcng sound engineering
lines and built of high-grade materi-
ais; and second. by sustaining this
model year afte- year and adding per-
fected details from time to time as
dictated by continuous engineering
study and manufacturing evolution.
Concentration is the safest and
quickest road to perfection. The en-
viable position of the Dodge Brothers
car in the mind of the public today
! could not have been attained without
! following these common laws of stand
ardization and concentrated effort.

HIGH SCHOOL TUITION

Should high school tuition be
abolished? We think it should. Why?
Because there should be free schools
as well as other things. The fact
that pupils are required to pay tut
ton does not keep many pupils
away. But is that any reason why
they should pay 1t? No The tut
ton was raised last year but prac-
tically as many pupils came to A..
ii. S. as before.
People from out of town do not
have to pay to come to town to
church or to trade. Why, then,
should they be required to pay tut
ton when they come to school? We
think everyone should have an
equal chance at an education and
that is what would happen If the
tuition was abolished.

Quinton Conklin's right leg was
broken at eight o'clock this morn
ing when the pony which he was
riding, slipped on the asphalt pave
ment on West Third street, fell and
threw Quinton against the curling

leg. The accident occurred in front
of the BEEN residence and Ward

was the first to come to his aid. He
is the 12-year-old son Of DR.. and

has had more than his due portion
of accidents. A year ago he suffered
the loss of sight in one eye.
The pony weighed 500 pounds
and fell in such a manner that his
entire weight was on Quinton's leg.
The fracture was complete and the
thigh bone was broken mid way be-
tween the hip and knee joint He
is resting as we'll as could be ex-

Visitor of April II, was to meet at
Nottawa, District of Canada, has
been recently changed to the Cross
Roads church, Florin, Lancaster

would risk the churchs standing
should the conference be held there.
The brethren of the Nottawa district
have asked that the change be
made. In this Canadian district there
have been hostile mob demonstra-
lions against Christian bodies and
gatherings.
Already the brethren of the DON
egal district are planning for the

carried out in its entirety, as plan
ned for Nottawa, as far as is known
now. Several froom Dickinson coun-
ty are planning to attend. Isaac

A NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Did you ever see little chickens,
when they are cold, all huddled up
in one corner? They squeeze close
together using every bit of space,
and they are continually moving
about and rearranging themselves
so that they can use the space they
have to the best advantage. We are
just as crowded in the high school,
as a bunch of chilly chicks. We do
the best we can with so little room,
but If we had a larger building we
could do much more work in a
more healthful way.
In nearly all of the class rooms
there is not enough of the regular
class room seats, so folding chairs
are set around the room. These
chairs are not very comfortable, and
furthermore they do not have the
desk-like arm on which to write. In
the science laboratory, there are no
chairs, only long-legged stools
When a student sits on one of these
stools for an hour and half at one
time his legs go to sleep, his back
nearly breaks, his head just about
splits, and he loses all his good
humor. The study hall is so crowd
ed that all the students can not
study there. The girls have to hang
their wraps in the hall and a coat

Abilene Man for New A. H. s.


A business man recently said to
a reporter for the Booster: II was
up to the high school the other day
and / was certainly surprised. Why,
they have to use the chapel as a
study hall. They have classes in the
balconies. One class has been re-
citing first one place and then an
other until Mr.. French finally gave
them permission to use his private
office as a class room. Why, it's a
lot worse than l thought"
This man has mentioned only a
few points. He didn't say anything
about that gymnasium that is need
ed so badly. Abilene will soon wake
up and build a new high school!
The agriculture class has been
testing milk this week.
Wanted, ideas and drawings for
lap-board for use in chapel study

made nine May poles for the May
festival to be given May by the
different grades of the city.

promised an observation trip by
Mr.. Simpson. The members of the
class are hoping that they have
better success than the physics
class had in the matter of weather.
Since last week was clean up week

they could either recite or cut the
dandelions out of the grass in front

The members of the American
history class held mock convention

any votes.

BOND ELECTION IN FALL
Supt. Stacey, in Chapel, Talks OF
Plans for New High School

The chapel exercises on Monday
morning were rather unusual for a
Monday chapel. Mr.. French talked
about the track meets that have
been and the one that is to be; al
so. on the school spirit that A. II. s.
has shown on these occasions. A
fine example of the school spirit OF
A. II. S. was shown in the cheer
ing" given to Mr.. French after his
talk.
Then Mr. Stacey agreeably sur
prised the pupils of A. H. S. by
making a public and definite an
nouncement that the proposition OF
voting bonds, for as much as the
city can legally vote, for new
high school, was to be submitted
to the public in the fall. He en-
phasized the fact that the present
high school building would be given
to the grades and their course or
study and system be arranged sim
ilarly to that Of the high school.
This, however, would include only
the two upper grades and would
give them junior high school work
in a building about the right size
for the 1870 in those two grades.

GOOD WORK IN MUSIC
Music Course for Future Teachers
One of Best Offered

The class in public school music
under the direction of Miss Shay is
one of the most practical courses
in the high school. This course will
prove of great value to the girls
after they have started to teach.
The class has taken up four diff
ferent phases of music: music APP
probation, sight singing methods of
teaching and folk dancing. One day
each week Is set apart for much ap-
probation. On this day the great
and their works are stud
led. Also, several operas have been
studied Miss Shay has played Sc
lections from the operas and some
of the greatest works on the VIC
trola. Two days are set apart for
sight singing. The other two days
are used for methods in teaching.
The work in this is learning to
teach the problems in all grades.
The problems are presented by Miss
Shay first. The girls then get a
great deal of practice work by
teaching the members of the class.
Far more enjoyable than any Of
the others is the folk dancing. This
is included in methods since the
purpose is to enable the girls to
teach the dances.

ID. S. Girls Do Practical Work
The second year domestic science
girls are spending several weeks at
practical work in cooking and serving
meals. First, the class decides the
number of calories needed by the
system from one meal to another.
Then each day two girls plan meal
to be served to the other members
OF the class Each pair makes out
a menu having correct food values,
estimates the cost, prepares the
food, sets pretty table, and has
the meal ready for the class on
schedule time. The cost of 'unex-
pensive meals averages six cents
per person; of the most elaborate,
about twenty cents.
Last week breakfast was served
each morning at 1890. This week,
lunch has been ready at 1880 Soon,
the girls will gain practice in "hav-
