OUR SCHOOL AND IT'S AIMS
CA continuation

Miss Margaret Rogers is the head
of the commercial department. She
teaches classes of Juniors and Seniors
in shorthand and typewriting. The
Junior year these are separate sub
jects, with two credits each, and the
Senior year they are combined in one
two-credit subject.
The work in typewriting, the first
year, consists in drills to learn the
fundamentals of the typewriter, the
use of more than two fingers in its
operation. It's aim is to build up speed
and accuracy for further development.
The form of letters and legal docu-
ments is also studied.
The first year of shorthand CON
sists of work in the principals of
Gregg shorthand, the system used by
most of the best shorthand writers
and commercial schools. Most of the
time in this course is spent in teach
ing this method of writing, so that it
is necessary for the student to take
the senior work in order to learn to
apply the knowledge he has gained.
The senior year is devoted largely
to a practical application of the prin-
cipals dealt with the first year, and
tests to try for different speed rec
ords in typewriting and transcribing.
The typewliting companies offer
medals and certificates for accom-
plishments on the typewriter, while
the Gregg Publishing company offers
prizes for transcription. Our school
has always made a very favorable
showing in these contests.
Other commercial subjects will be
dealt with later.

Attendants however, realized his in

O'Casey on the Cat
"The Plough and the Stars" at thes Hudson
Homily on Violence

CEAN O'CESEY, the ex-dock wal
= topper, one of Ireland's most ia
nous and successful playwrights is
in revolt against revolution and the
violence that inevitably accompanies
it. In his play "The Plough and the
Stars" he seizes on the Easter Week
rebellion in Ireland to whip with the
lash of satire the various political
groups that united for the time being
to strike blow at British Imperialism.
1t is true that thru the medium of
the pro-British fruit-vendor Bessie
Burgess, the author gives the war
for poor little Belgium" couple of
taps on the wrist, but the green thread
running thru it is intended to show
that struggle is senseless and that
those who organized the Irish volun-
teers We're flannel-mouthed blather-
sixties and their followers a lot of
towards who were driven by fear to
fight on the barricades. They had
choice of evils and they chose the
lesser one.
O'Casey's play enjoyed the not I'M
usual experience of being rotten-egged
on its first appearance in the Abbey
Theatre in Dublin. Those of us who
have a kindly feeling for plays that
arouse the brute in the hearts of
those possessed of too deep a regard
for his holiness the pope, were rather
disappointed to find Plough and the
Stars" a weak jibe at the Easter
Week revolt. AS a picture of Stun
life, the play is interesting and well
acted. Indeed | cannot praise the cast
too highly. But I cannot help think
ing of what the author was trying to
put across over the footlights and
while l did not leave the Hudson
Theatre last Tuesday night grieving
because O'Casey introduced us to
Dublin woman of easy virtue, | was
sad because this young man, could
not see anything worthy of his genius
in the Easter Week revolution but
the reactions of few wastrels to
that historic struggle.
Far be it from me to suggest that
bartenders, touts, pimps and prosti-
tutes have not their place in drama.
But / insist that no population is
complete without a few decent" per-
sons, l mean persons who are en-
dowed with social conscience and
who fight to lift the oppressed sec
lions of the human race out of the
mire into place in the sunlight. Sean
O'Casey is an emacipated proletarian,
but he still makes concessions to his
former social status. When he got
married recently in the catholic
church in London, he wore sweater.

campaign against the injunction and
for the organization of the traction
workers.
In the Philadelphia district the
program was outlined for greater ac-
Invites in the larger plants. particu-
larly the Bethlehem Steel plant was
mentioned as one of the large plants
where a shop campaign will be under
taken for the organization of the
workers and of the strengthening Of
the Party unit and the publication of
a Party shop paper in that plant.
In the Mining Industry.
In the Pittsburgh district the most
important problem the district is fac
ing is in the mining industry. Here
we are facing many difficulties as a
result Of the strike. Many Of our
comrades have been unemployed for
q long period Many of these COM
lades have been facing persecution
for the last few years at the hands
of the coal barons and the bugeau-
cracy of the UMWA and some Of
them were compelled to migrate into
other cities in order to find employ
ment. This naturally weakened the
Party organization. Plans were laid
to overcome this difficulty and
strengthen the Party organization and
throw our entire Party membership
into q campaign in behalf of miners
relief and for the strengthening of
cur Party units in the mining indus
try.
n the Detroit district, great deal
eff attention was given to the or

wesley Everest was the first to

No sooner did he see this than he

brief moment the door was open l

II was for making last stand and
shooting it out then and there. But
two of the four who were in the ice
box were unarmed. One of them,
namely, Mike Sheehan, negotiated
with a spokesman of that mob and
got the promise that if we would do
no more shooting and would hand
over our guns square deal would
be given to US.
Meanwhile the fellowa with the
