Sam Rice established himself as the

Thomas PrenIerCast

Word has been received here of the
death of Thomas Prendergast of New
York city, at his summer home in
Westbury, l.. I. He is a brother to
Sister Mary Boniface of St Mary's
Convent, this city. He was transporta-
ton agent for a number of the large
commercial houses in New York and
New Jersey, and was preparing to
leave this country for Germany to ar
range for the resumption of pre-war
shipments between the countries,
when his health gave out and he was
forced to rest. About two weeks ago
he became so i'll that he was confined
to his bed, but the strain under which
he had worked during and since the
war had worked such havoc with his
constitution that he was unable to
rally his strength and his death was
momentarily expected. He is survived
by his wife and children, sons and
daughters. Sister, Boniface will
leave tomorrow for New York to at
tend his funeral

GOOD SPEECH
WEEK At n, S.


A, s.. Hancock, director of English,
gave u very Interesting telk this
morning before the upper class AZ

eern!ng the meeting OF those interest

guniae two societies which are to
work Oh n competitive basis,
He said, In part regarding tho
good speech drive
Good speech IL m asset In any
phase of l!fe, In business 1t Is OF
double importance. Leaders IN the
business world, when they get to-
gether in committeo meetings, must
be able to express themsclvos fluent
" and correctly. In sale9manship,
good speech comes In also. Everyone
Is to some degree q salesman, We are
busy selling ourselves to other peoples
in other words, making good or bad
impressions upon them. One girl was
refused position In a school simply
because she could not speak good
English. There are certain social
groups In which people who cannot
speak good English are a joke.
This week we are to find the COM
mon mistakes which are made every
day In grammar and enunciation.
Slang and vulgarisms are two classes
of bad speech. Slang needs no intro
duction to any of us. Examples of
vulgarism are 'Youse guys" and Lay
off on dat stuff A sentence heard at
the football dance on Saturday eve
ming was And de odder guy comes
runnin' out to where he was Slang
compared with Vulgarism is poetry.
"A way in which to correct yourself
is to iot down the mistakes which
are heard. Get someone at home as
well as in school to help you,' Mr..
Hancock said.
There are to be three prizes Of
fered. One for a slogan for Good
Speech Week.; a prize. for a poster
and a prize for the winner of a read
ing contest to be held next week. SIo-
gans are to be in by Wednesday Of
