CHEMISTRY CLASS
SEES GAS MADE
Visits Gas Plant and on Return to School
Discusses Parts of PrOcesS-Trip
Very Instructive

The process of making gas was studied
by the chemistry class when they visited
the gas plant with Miss Bagg Wednes-
day afternoon
The class left the high school at the
beginning of the third period and returned
during the fourth to discuss the parts Of
the process.
The first thing the class inspected was
the instrument board" On this board
was registered the amount of gas made
in each run" and the whole amount that
the tank contained The parts of the
plant were explained by one of the en-
ployeS. The next apparatus was the
generator. This was a large cylinder
in which the gas was made The fire
within the generator could be seen By
means of a glass on the side of the cylin-
der
The next part was the 'carbureter."
This was opened~ So that the students
could look into the fire. The class was
told that the oil was sprayed in to give
the gas its luminous property.
The "super-heater'| was then inspected
Here the hydrocarbons of the oil. were
turned to gaseous hydrocarbons The gas
was then run through the scrubber and
cooled. 1t was then run into the holder
which fed the mains. In some cases. as
is necessary in Brattleboro. the gas has
to pumped through the town
The trip proved very instructive and
interesting 70 the members of the class.

EDITORIAL.
Has stood the Test of Centuries.

Has Stood the Test of Centuries.
That Shakespeare lives today in the
minds and ideas of all English-speaking
people is. evident beyond doubt for his
works are read in all schools and classes
of today and meet the essential needs and
requirements of modern English courses.
No one understood character as Shakes
peare did and few have had the ability to
weave together a thrilling drama of trag-
edy. involving a tangle of human charac-
ter, laughing comedy. deepening plot, and
throbbing romance. Shakespcare's plots
are woven skillfuIly and touched artfully
with his choice English and vivid descrip-
tons.
i boy once received set of Shakes
pcare's writings as a gift His first in
clination was to say. That wasn't what
l wanted. These books are all alike. |
wanted something different" After hear
ing this, his father replied, What type
of book do you want to read:" and the
boy answered. II want a comedy" His
father took the books and handed him
Twelfth Night and Much Ado About
Nothing. and the boy was satisfied. When
he wanted tragedy he read Macbeth or
Hamlet When he desired a fairy story
he read As You Like 1t. When he de
sired romance. the throbbing pages of
Romeo and Juliet or Midsummer Nights
Dream opened before him. For history
he read the stories of England's kings or
Julius Caesar; for characterization The
Merchant of Venice or Macbeth; and for
literature and drama he found his books
unsurpassed. So the boy found all.
Shakespeare portrays human nature
just as it was then. just as it is today.
and makes his plays more than value
in literature and drama.
Moreover. Shakespeare's work brings Us
Il type of literature typical of England
during the golden age of Queen Eliza
beth's reign. when all England was en-
richcd with the revival and progress of
literature
Shakcspeare's work has stood the test
of five centuries and is standard today.
What other test is needed to show its
greatness:
We have football spirit basketball
spirit and track spirit: but the baseball
spirit seems to be missing. Let's cuiti-
waite some this year and get results.
