WILL ENCOURAGE
PRINTING CLASSES
AT HIGH SCHOOL

Printing will be one of the studies
that will be encouraged this year
in the Rock Island high school,
Eugene Youngert, principal of the
high school, said today.
Mr.. Youngert said that pupils
wishing to take a vocational course
that will correlate closely with the
general high school course will do
well to enroll in one of the print
ing classes.
In discussing the subject he as
serted, "if English must be correct
any place, it is in print. The boy
who constantly receives strictly
corrected copy soon learns that
there really, is reason to use his
country's language with accuracy
In the absolute accuracy required
of the printer, the student receives
training for which he \ will always
be thankful.
"Carelessness may be forgiven
elsewhere, but never in the prin,
shop. Printing is of course valu-
able because of its direct technica
training. but it is especially valu
able because of the vast amount o.
relative knowledge that is &C.
| quired in its study"

It is often hard for the mother to
find lasting and pleasant pastimes
for her little child. He may be too
young to play outdoors alone. Dur
ing the winter months many hours
a day must be spent indoors.
My knowledge Of a two-year-old
child's play instincts and the use Of
some very ordinary household
material, have developed several
occupations which might be found
useful and helpful to others.
There are his beloved Beans"
He has already spent days and days
with them and still shows a ready
interest when they appear from The
shelf in the pantry. A little cup Of
beans, the hard red kidney beans,
and a glass dish were the extent Of
his materials to begin with. He
loved to pour these out and refill
his cup. becomig absorbed in his
occupation for as long as 80 min
utes at one time. Later I added a
glass fruit jar, and mixed with the
red beans some large white navy
beans for him to sort out and drop
into his jar. This also was found
to be a successful experiment, Civ
ing training to his powers to dis
criminate in color and size.
Our Beans" lend themselves to
many occasions. They were the
means of keeping two little visitors
happy while the mother, who had
left them in my charge. went to
,, town. She told me afterward that
she had borrowed the idea for their
playtime at home.
| My sons irrepressible desire tc
pound the chairs and tables OF
hammer on the furniture with al
most any article he could get hold
of led to another occupation. The
material this time consisted OF Z
box which the grocery boy had left
