Better Americans

Editorial by Prudence Spight '23)
When people speak they either con-
sciously or unconsciously express their
habits and ideals of life. So it is with
US citizens of the United States as
well as with other peoples across the
seas.
1t is a known fact that in different
countries and even in different com
munities or localities the same ideas
are expressed in different wording or
phrasing. These different modes of
expression have been named idioms.
Besides idioms different peoples,
more within the common class which
after all is the foundation and setting
ofla nation, have favorite barbarisms
or vulgarisms. A good many of our
barbarisms add interest or what might
be called personality to our speaking
but as great a number and possibly a
good many more should be classed with
the vulgarisms such as the common
slang known very well to most of US.
1t is this slang or barbarOus part OF
our language that large number of
foreigners who came to the United
States with the purpose Of becoming
citizens adopt first and most easily. 1t
is no wonder since the slang is usually
spoken with a vehement spirit and a
more pronounced accent that it is cas-
lily remembered if not easily UNDER
stood.
And if we wish to have the future
Americans keep the same true ideals
of our Pilgrim ancestors we must
guard our speech so that true blue
thoughts may be expressed in per
feet and American language.

The roof of the old junior high annex

old part of the high school some braces
gave way letting the roof settle far
enough to crack the paper covering on

considerable damage to walls of the

braces Thanksgiving morning. A new
