PARENTS CAN HELP
TO IMPROVE SPEECH

The use of good language is not
only a mark of education on the
part of your boy or girl, but it also
means, in this day of intense bust.
ness competition, dollars and cents
for the boy or girl who can face
an employer and use .ac.1rate and
concise speech.
Good language is ths result of
habit; habit comes as the result Of
practice.
Your child IS under the influence
of the teacher but one-sixth of the
time during the year. During this
brief time the school can do little in
forming habits of correct speech,
unless the home cooperate with the
school. This we kindly ask you to
do. We are now attempting to fix
the habit of using:
l. l saw you, instead of l seen
you.
2. I have no pencil, instead Of,
| amt got no pencil.
3. Give me a book, instead Of
Gimme a book.
a. came to school, instead Of,

5. did it, instead Of, done It.
6. l ate the apple, instead Of, l

z. My pencil is broken, instead
of, My pencil is broke.
8. She can get it, instead Of, She
can git it.
8. It was |, instead Of, It was me.
10. He and play, instead Of, Ne
and him play.
In fixing the habit Of correct
speech the school can do little with
out the cooperation Of the home.
Encourage your child to use the
correct form as given above. In
this way you can help US to help
your child. We ask your assist

The Court: That isn't the ques-
ton. The object of putting the
witnesses under rult is so they
won't have to observe those things.
Now, there is no use talking this
over. You gentlemen know what
the rule means.

any injury has been done by the
violation of this rule at all or if the
State is going to be injured in any
manner
The Court: | am going to fine
you gentlemen twenty-five dollars
apiece for violating a rule of this
court. You may enter the order
that H. Warren is guilty of a wilful
contempt of this court in-failing
to produce his witnesses and having
them placed under the rule, and
that he pay fine of twenty-five
dollars or be committed to the
county Jail until such fine is paid.
You may enter the further order
that Mr.. Dignan is guilty of wilful
contempt of this court in failing to
produce witnesses he expected to
call and having them placed under
the rule, and that he pay fine of
twenty-five dollars and that in the
event he fails to pay said fine he
be remanded to the county jail. Mr..

manded to the custody of the

Fines RENTED
On Saturday morning Messrs.
Warren & Dignan appeared in court
to acknowledge error in the matter
being represented by Attorney T.
A. Brandon. After testimony had
been taken wherein the attorneys
held in contempt explained that
the matter of not having Witness
Walsh sumbit to the oatn was
purely an oversight and that nc
contempt had been intended, Judge
Callahan said:
"In the case of Mr.. Dignan, he
