HIGH SCHOOL CLASS
TAKES JOURNALISM
MRS. KJOSNESS is GIVING HER
PUPILS PRACTICAL WORK IN
NEWS GATHERING.

A new departure in high school
work has been inaugurated in the
English class being taught in room 5
on the high school building by Mrs.
likeness. She has begun teaching her
students to gather news and the stu
dent taking to the work "like ducks
take to water" and some excellent
work is being done. She asks each
student to gather items of local news
each day and these are sent to the
office of the local newspaper, for cor
rection and use by the editor. 1t is
surprising how little correction is
needed in much Of the work. Some
of the students who are quite young
have shown regular "nose for news"
as the ability to gather news is call
ed in newspaper work. In the Ian
guage of the shop they are able to
"smeu news item and go and get it. /"
The editor has agreed to look over
the work of each tudent, mark any
corrections and consult with them
about it. He wants to meet each stu
dent peronally and talk with him or
her and point out any inaccuracies
that may occur in their work and
thus help them to avoid making the
same mistake a second time. Here
are some of the items turned in by
the Students:
