Carl Caswell. editor for the Bune-
TIN. favored the Business English and
English IV classes last Thursday with
some very good advice about newspa-
per work. He pointed out that in
writing news items, the questions who
why, what, where, when, and how, are
usually answered. He also said that
all essential and interesting facts
should be stated clearly in order to
mold the interest of the public. The
items should be written on one side
or the sheet only, because the items
on the other side are generally over
looked. The Importance of correct
spelling and good penmanship.w al
so emphasized. I'm mentioning the ne
cessity of English he said "95 per cent
of the business men and newspaper
men now would be more successful If
they only knew more about grammar
and English" The Business English
and English Nv classes appreciated his
helpful advice and hope to benefit by
it.

fail entirely to do what we had so en-
started out to do.

should remedy the above mentioned
fault, and we can do 1t in our own
town and in our own back yards. We
can do il through war pa ardnns w,
