DEPARTMENTS
lHelen Barnes)

What was the cause for the
Civil War? Slavery" is the COM
mon answer. The American his
tory students have found that there
was also bitter dispute over nulli-
flcatlon, which thirty years later,
was revived and intensified in a
struggle far more serious than that
over tariff rates-the great slav-
cry controversy which precipitated
the Civil War. This class, how
ever, is much interested in modern
politics. Certain members are
planning campaign speeches. Some
are running for governor and some
for Al Smith or Hoover. The day
following the speeches the class
will decide who will take the oath
Gf office.
In English, the Freshmen have
been giving oral reports. Mr..
Smith has also been telling them
how to give a speech before the as
sembly when called upon. They
have also been studying grammar
points and are picking out the diff
ferent parts of a sentence, such as
the subject, verb, object, predicate.
nominative, etc.
Last Wednesday a very delicious
odor prevailed the basement of the
school. We learned that Miss Rus
sci demonstrated the use of Certo
to all the Economic classes.
The Penmanship and Spelling
class is working for it's final Pal
mer Method certificate. Some
very rare sentences have come up
from the spelling class from which
Miss Hutton has learned some new
definitions and uses of certain
words.
The Freshmen girls are making
cotton wash dresses in sewing. Aft
er these are finished, they will
start wool or silk dresses.
To vary the routine and to FAM
iliarize the English history class
with world events, Miss Caulkins
has set aside one day each week in
which the students report on the
most interesting and important
happenings. The class takes the
Literary Digest from which they
gather some of their material.
They are also reading about Eng
land under the Norman kings. How
different parts of the government
were developed, such as the curia
reyes, exchequer, etc.
The advanced tipping students
find it necessary to be on their
toes because they are now being
graded on accuracy rather than
speed. The Underwood Typewriter
company will accept for reward
no papers containing more than
five mistakes. Therefore concen-
tration and accuracy must be de-
veloped.

Finally, he went to the city in
the hope that he might secure a
rife. While there, he saw a young
lady in shop window displaying
her long silken tresses as an adj
yertisement for a certain hair
tonic. The crowd seemed to be
asking questions by means of
writing them on paper and holding
i up to the window. She answer
ed them by the same method. Of
course "our hero" asked her name
and address, etc., and made an
appointment for dinner. He was
much astonished that evening upon
meeting her in the hotel lobby to
see that she had merely bobbed
locks, but was greatly cheered by
her saying that they must hurry
because she must take part in a
food demonstration and would DEM
onstrate baking biscuits. She
added that she only wore a wig in
the day time while at work in the
window. He thought, "Well if
she doesn't have beautiful hair,
possibly she can cook"
His attendance at the demon
stration led to more frequent meet

while they were married and he
took her to his home. Their first

POLITICS

Politics-we hear them at home,
at school, at church, on the radio
and on the streets, so much that we
even dream them.
Everyone, big and small, educat-
ed and uneducated, has something
to say about them. Business men,
in their many organizations, talk
with their employees, and to
