AMERICAN SPEECH WEEK

The committee on American speech of the National Council of Teachers of English has launched a campaign for the observance of American Speech week throughout the nation. The aim of this movement is that of 'rousing public sentiment to the need and the possibility of improving the speaking voice and raising the stand ard of speech usage in daily life" The week November to 8, inclusive, has been designated as the period dur ing which the better English" drive is to take place. The committee has prepared a guide to American Speech week which outlines the plan and which contains suggestions which will be exceedingly helpful to all organiza- tions which participate in the move ment.
 Because of the fact that the terri torial department of education re- ceived notification of this campaign at so late date, it will not be possible for the schools of Alaska to partici- pate in the national observance. How ever, the benefits to be derived from stressing speech improvement for one week in each school year are so great as to make it desirable to set aside the first week in December for this work. During the week of December 1 to the schools of Alaska will, therefore, observe American Speech week. Copies of the guide referred to above will be distributed to each school as soon as possible. More spe- cific directions relative to the cam paign in Alaska will accompany the guide. It is hoped that each school will cooperate to the fullest extent in making this movement success.

CAR JUST KEPT ON MOVING
Lucky for Sleeping Occupants That the Road Had Been Cut Up by
 Heavy Wagon.

l recall a funny motoring incident that might have turned out decidedly otherwise if it had not been for . mere chance, writes a correspondent. It occurred in the country during the early spring.
 A young fellow and his sister were returning in the wee small hours from dance in neighboring town. He was driving fivver They were both very tired, and finally they both dropped off to sleep.
 It so happened that late the day be- fore heavy farm wagon had passed that way, leaving deep ruts in the mud, and during the evening these had froz- en solid. The car got into these ruts and ran along them with no one gud. ing 1t for some time The tracks turn ed several corners and finally turned into a farmyard and went into the barn.
 The fiiv turned the corners and fol lowed the tracks into the yard. It was going straight on and would have smashed into the barn door had not the girl walked in time to see the build ing looming up just in front of them. Realizing the situation immediately, she damned on the brake and stopped the car few feet from the closed door.
 am assured that this is a perfectly true story.

One chief source of road detariora-
ton is the tendency of traffic to fol

wears and depresses the road crown
along this line of continuous use. The

should be used with the view of avoid
ing as much rs possible this objec-
tionable propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in holes

should leave the country, but he has

that body occupies the same interest

must pass on any treaty that will he
