SCHOOL NOTES
(Continued from Page Three)

(Continued from Page Three) posters, the work of William Mo Gowan, represented schoolboy sa luting the flag of Good English after having climber the wall of Bad Eng fish, this wall being made of bad grammar and slang bricks.
 The higher grades and high school English classes wrote plays fitting for the occasion. In these Good English and his companions invariably defeat ed and destroyed, or at least put to flight, their enemies. One of these plays, written by pupil of the sev- enth grade, was acted on Friday after noon by the sixth and seventh grades, and was a complete success.
 During the week those caught using incorrect English or slang were fined one cent. This money will be used in the purchase of book for the library.
 Original slogans for this movement were suggested Some slogans, such as Better Speech for Better Ameri- cans," and Speak the Language of Your Flag" were written on the black boards at different times.
 It is to be hoped that the effects of tbis movement will last, and help the pupils to use better English here after.
