WHITE SOx PLAY GOOD
 BALL IN HOME LOT. Captured 32 Games From Eastern Clubs and Lost Only 12-Nationals Weak.

One big reason why the Chicago White SoX are out in the front of l the American league pennant parade | is that the eastern clubs have been | sble to make very little impression on 1 the pale hosed warriors of Clarence Rowland in the games at ComiskeM park. When the Yankees finished up
 with the Chicago club on Tuesday the last game of the East vs. West
 series at Comiskey park this season
 had been played.
 Of the A, games played by teams
 from the eastern half of the circuit
 at Chicago, the White Sox won no
 showing what a powerful club Row land has when it is playing on the home lot With such a big advan- tage of games won at home tis not surprising that the Sox can go> along be In tliefl first place. , Washington has made tl1etspoorest showing of the eastern clubs at Co., miskey park. Griffiths team can make the going difficult for. the White Sox when they visit the capital but out in Chicago the Sox have a habit of riding rough shod over the Sen ators. Just once this season has in Chicago and against this lone tri- umph the White Sox have rolled up ten victories. The Yankees have done Just a little better, but not enough 10 do any cheerlng aDout, Three games have made up the Yan- kees' winning portion this eason at Chicago and the White Sox carried off the honors eight times. Even, the worlds champion Red Sox, now bat ting the White Sox for the pennant, have not made what can be called a creditable showing on the home grounds of their rivals, the series standing seven games to four in favor of the Chicago club. The Athletics were able to do as well as the Red Sox and better than the other east ern c1ubS

fered by the business men of the city.
or by private parties. Other towns

color the boundaries of the United
States as they were determined, the

them more fully. Last week we took

EIGHTH GRADE
English

English is composed of reading,
composition and grammar. In the be-
ginning of the year, we had two days
in the week for grammar, two for
reading, and one for composition. Now
we have an extra period so we have
grammar every day and composition
and reading every other day.
In grammar we have studied the
different kinds of sentences, such as
simple, complex, compound, declara-
tive, imperative, interrogative, and ex-
clamatory. We have learned to pick
out the complete subject, complete
predicate and simple subject, verb and
complement. We have studied the
parts of speech and their different
uses. We also learned to pick out in
dependent, subordinate and noun
clauses.
In reading we have read, "The Man
Without Country" "The Pied Piper
of Hamlin," "The Cricket on the
HEARTH" "Enoch Arden" "Snow
Bound," and other short stories. We
had reading test to show how many
words we could read in a certain time
and then answer questions on what we
had read.

Melrose is planning to celebrate the
Fourth of July this year, following the
custom of Sank Centre and Melrose
to alternate years for celebrating. The
fremen have usually had charge IF
the order of the day, but this year st.
Pstrick's church will take it in hand.
Father Kilian put the request before
the Council and the Firemen at their
last meetings and was given unani-
nous consent. No special plans have
been made, but the aim of the church
is to give the people the best possible
time for the least possible money.
Melrose has always co-operated with
Sank Centre in their celebrations and
there is no doubt but that Sank Gen.
tire will do her duty this year.

Our class is made all the more in
teresting by few pupils who are Ger

who find it hard telling about the
stories we have read, enjoy hearing
those who are German, recite them.
Our teacher, Miss Tulloss, helps us
over the big words and hard phrases.
We have many laughs over each other
in class, as each, trying to do his or
her best, stumbles over the almost I'M

The principles of German Grammar
we have taken this year are: word or
der, forming the plural of nouns and
comparing electives. We have learned
to tell time and do simple arithmetic.
We have not taken, so far this year,
learning to write German script.
Several in class have taught it to
themselves, and have made good sue

NINTH GRADE
English

In the first part of the year we had
a review on grammar from our rhet-
oric written by Brooks. From this un-
til now we have been studying part of
the time from our rhetoric on compo-
sition writing, paragraph writing, the
narrative and descriptive forms, the
use of words in speaking and writing.
The rest of the time we put on learning
: poems and the study of classics. The
poems we learned in the first part of
the year were, America" "The Star
Spangled Banner" and ''To Skylark"
Our first classic was "The Merchant of
Venice" by Shakespeare. In that we
learned part given by Portia in the
trial scene telling of the quality of
mercy. Our next book was ;'The Cd
dessy," by Homer and during that time
our minds were flooded with thoughts
of Ulysses and such expressions as
mother of rosy fingered morn" The
book we now have is "The Vision If
Sir Launfal," by Lowell, in which we
are learning part pertaining to
spring. In the year we are required
to read four books and write report
on them. There is a list of about fifty
books to select from. One book of
Scott, Dickens, Stevenson, Churchill,
or Elliott is required. We have read
three so far,
There are two classes. One recites
the first forty-five minutes and the
other the next forty-five. On Mon
days we have composition. One half
of each class writes one week and the
other half gives it orally and the next
week vice-versa. On Tuesdays and
Wedesdays we study from our rhetoric
books and the last two days we study
from our classics and recite our men,

Latin
Sank Centre, MINI, March 20, 1917.
Dear Harry: You wrote and asked
me what we were doing in Latin. Well,
we have 10 pupils in all and we are
doing pretty well. We have studied
all the conjugations and declensions.
We are now studying irregular verbs
and part of Caesar.
Do you know that one day one of
the boys jumped right up in his seat
end when Miss Tulloss asked him what
tn matter was he said that the boy
behind him was tramping all over his
coat OF rather had his feet through
bars OF the seat on his coat. Talk about
laugh!
From your letter think we are far
ahead of you people. We have al
most finished one chapter of Caesar
and have started in our note books. We
have "downs" or word drills nearly
every day and have quite a fight to
see who wins. You can be sure I like
this subject or would not be writing
to you about it. We have quite few
Juniors taking Latin but just the same
the Freshmen are lots the smartest.
Well I'm no encyclopedia on these
things so I will close and let somebody
else finish. Your friend,

Domestic Art

The girls of the Freshmen Domestic
Art class are divided into two sections
of IL members each. One section
meets Mondays and Fridays, the other
Tuesdays and Thursdays. The periods
extend from 1:30 to 800 p. m.
The girls have made under garments,
bathrobes or kimonos, waists, middies,
and skirts. They are now making
summer dresses of ginghamy cham
bray or palm beach cloth. A few are
making cotton suits in place of the
dresses. Before Christmas they made
pretty gifts such as table runners
with crochet lace, clothes pin aprons,
towels, dress covers and pillow cases
with crochet edges.
After they have completed their
dresses the girls will each make book
of girls clothing. They will first
make their clothing budgets, which is
a plan of the number and cost of the
garments they will require next year.
The book will illustrate the clothing.
A sample of material with a picture
will be mounted on the pages. The
girls must be careful and select ma
terial that is appropriate. The styles
that are selected will be becoming and
suited to the use for which they are
intended. The color must also be be-
coming to the person. After they
have finished the booklets they viii
study hygiene, care and repair of clo-
thing. Grace Dickinson,

German


Our German class, held the last pc
Rod in the afternoon, has % pupils in
it. Besides having an interesting
teacher, we have class which likes
German. The book we are studying
from is Ghodes and Buschek's "Sprach
und Lesebuch." Except for great
many tongue twisters, characteristic
of the German language, we certainly
have enjoyed the many stories we have
translated so far this year. We have
had few poems also. Among those
translated, we have committed to
memory ode Loreli" by Heinrich
Heine, and "Heidenroslein" by Jo-
ham Wolfgang Goethe, both famous
German poets.
"Die Lorelie" deals, as nearly every
one knows, with the beautiful siren,
who sat on a rock singing. The sail

hearing her better, sailed nearer, and
