"Why tho Immigrants Should Be
Taught English" by Kathleen Has
Kell, harrington School

The immigrants that come to this
country are usually in search of a
home and better living for themselves
and children than they had in the old
country. Our people, even the poorer
class. are better housed, warmed and
led than any European peasant, and
this is because they are educated. We
should first aid the immigrants to a
knowledge of English. for their minds
must be fed as well as their bodies to
make them good American men and
women. They are naturally ambitious
or they would not have come to this
country. After they have learned to
read and write through the night
schools that are provided for them this
slight knowledge of English will help
them to educate themselves by the aid
Of newspapers, radio. public libraries
and even the moving picture films.
Many of these foreigners make some
of our best American citizens and
their children are growing up through
the help of our schools to make can
able men Of their adopted country
which presents to them a lang of OPP
portunity.
"The Value Of Athletics in School," by
&oxanna Eastman, Grade 6, Lincoln
School
Athletics are a very important part
in our school program. They help to
make the body strong and healthy. A
boy that never exercises his body in
any way will not make as good a citi-
zen when he becomes a man as the
boy who plays baseball and football
and takes physical exercises. When
you take your exercises In school al
ways remember that they will help you
be strong, well-minded citizen.
A Playground for Every Child. BY
Walter Norton, Grade Q, Williams
School.
Every school in the United States
should have a playground. There
should be place where the chill
dren could play baseball, football.
run races and wrestle. TherA should
be a swimming pool in the public
Fairgrounds. Those that play these
games are strong and healthy. Every
child should play some of these
games eve; day.
'sThe Value OF Physical Training
BY Frances Howard, Grade :,
Smith School.
When child is baby his bones
and muscles are weak. He gets his
exercise by kicking and screaming.
When he is old enough to 60 to
school, in most cases he is strong
and healthy. Therefore he Is very
well able to study. But very long
periods tire him. There is where
physical training comes in. In
the lower grades the children have
games, mostly and they run and
caper under the teachers super
vision. Then they feel a great deal
like studying. In the upper grades
they have regular physical exercises.
When these are over they will return
to their studies with renewed zeal.
These exercises are OF great bene-

GLEANINGS-BOOK OF LIFE
The m0ulds in which good poetry Is cast.

THE MATERIALS of good poetry,
collected and produced by the
powers of observation and descrip-
ton, sensibility, reflection, imagi-
nation, fancy and judgment, are
cast, by means of various moulds,
into divers forms.
The moulds were enumerated and
the forms specified by William
Wordsworth, In the following or
der:
"The neutrality-suspicious. the
historic poem, the tale, the ro-
nance, the mock-heroic, and II

England-the early eighteen hum

this class, the distinguishing
mark Is that the narrator, how
ever literally his speaking
agents be introduced, is himself
the source from which everything
primarily flows. Epic poets, in
order that their mode Of compo-
sition may accord with the eleva-
ton of their subject. represent
themselves as singing from the
inspiration Of the Muse, but this

slight value: the Iliad or the Par.

estimation by being chanted. The

class are commonly. content to

claim to be ranked with tho
lyrical. The characteristic and
impassioned Epistie, Of which
Ovid and Pope have given exc

rnonodrama, may, without I'M
propriety, be placed In this class.
