OPEN FORUM OF THE
KENDRICK w. C. T. U.

The first lecture of the open forum
department of the Kendrick w. C. T.
U. was held Monday night at the
Methodist church. The forum was
opened by congregational singing and
a beautiful prayer by Rev. w. F. Gre
son, pastor of the Presbyterian church
of Ocala. Rev. Mabel Guam Stevens
was then introduced and delivered her
famous lecture. "The Little Red Rose. /"
Dressed in native Palestine costume,
Rev. Stevens addressed a large and
very interested and appreciative au-
dience. People from Reddick, Lowell,
Martin, Zuber, Anthony, Belleview
and Ocala were in attendance, and at
the close expressed themselves as be-
ing well pleased and more than re-
paid for coming Rec. Searles of Belle
view, closed the forum with touch
ing prayer that each one present
might carry the sweet lessons of love
from the Little Red Rose" into their
home lives.
The Kendrick w. C. T. U. feels that
its first effort in this direction has
been success in every way, both f.
financially and in the good results
which have been accomplished, and il
Is hoped in the future to give it's pa
irons other equally good entertain
ments. They also desire to publicly
thank all of the friends who so loyal,
helped to make it a success. The pro
ceeds of the entertainment will be di
vided between the w. C. T. U. and tn,
Kendrick church.

fights should result in fatal injuries,

Several sophomores have been
knocked unconscious by freshmen, who
have been beaten nearly every night
since the opening of school, they say,
and have finally revolted against the
treatment they are receiving. "We do

Interesting English Section.
English preparation for uniVer-
sity work, discussed by DIR. Hessler
| of the University of New Mexico;
! Journalism as an adjunct in teach
| ing English, subject of an address
by NJ. l.. Fox, who has been giving
| a course of lectures in the state
university, and THE obstinate
| Family" farce that was delight
fully presented by the PUBIC
speaking class of the Albuquerque
high school, were the features OF
the English section which met yes
terday in the high school audi
| forum.
| DR.. Hessler outlined the difficult
| ties encountered in the teaching
of the English language in the
public schools, contrasting the lax
methods in the United States with
the rigid requirements in England
| for entry into the colleges and uni
versities. He gave particular at
| tention to necessity for the STUDY
! of grammar and composition.
/ f. M. l.. Fox said the only justifica-
| ton for a course in journalism IN
the high schools and colleges is
the drill such course gives in prac-
| teal English.
| The EDITORS "blue pencil Is ar
effective teacher, Mr.. Fox said, be-
cause he usually has the power &c
4 hire and fire. The speaker pointed
! out many of the common errors
which are corrected by newspaper
drill. Mixing of adverbs and adj
| jectives, confusion of or and nol
after not, the splitting of the IN
| finitive, difficulty of distinguishing
between the uses of transitive ant
i intransitive verbs, abuse of th'
rule that the verb to be takes the
i same case after it as before 1t, wer'
i given as some of the things witt
which a course in journalism ha
to deal.
! Mr., Fox said formal grammar
4 which is baby logic, should d
taught, but that practical use o
! correct English, without learning
rules, is much better than learning
the rules without knowing how Z
apply them, or, knowing how, fail
ing to observe them. He said w
Z. learn by doing things practicali
s rather than by knowing them theo
retically only.
