These books have been added to
the Selbyville High School Library
Nocturne, by Frank Swinnerton;
Men Like Gods, H. G. Wells; The
Show Boat, Edna Ferber; Wall
Flowers, Temple Bailey; Burning
Daylight, Temple Bailey. In the at
tendance contest for schools, Selby-
vile, to use a baseball term, made
another Babe Ruth drive over the
right field fence and won the ban
ner for September, with an average
of 9S.2 for graded schools. Last
year Selbyville won the banner five
times in a possible eight. The pros
poets for October are very good. The
picture from the Fox Film Co. for
the ensuing weeks is called Noun
tains". 1t is hoped to enjoy the use
of the class room leaflets which are
being prepared for all films by the
Supt. of Schools of Newark, N. J.
The pupil can then recite as we'll as
view the picture. Selbyville defeat
ed Frankford in the football game
last Friday by a score of 21-O. About
the only time the ball was in Frank
ford's possession was after the kick
off. Selbyville's attack was consist
ent and her offense and defense
seemed to improve with the length
of the game. The generalship of
Simpler was shown in engineering
the play and they were a mixture of
straight football and falses. Slash
ing attacks through the line were
made by Tom Lynch. Frankford
was Outclassed in every department
of the game shown on the field. The

signs and heiroghyphics.
Egyptian heiroghyphics are a cur
ious tumble Of object-pictures, signs
for entire words, separate syllablei
and letters.
The Egyptians first put their writ
ing on clay tablets and stone, but
soon they began to realize that they
could get something better anG
would be so much easier to use. This
was from the papyrus plant which
grew in the Nile. They could take
the leaves from this plant and stick
them together and when dried, this
was very good to write on. On this
new kind of paper, records were
kept, and the writing was phonetic
signs and hieroghyphics.
This papyrus would last for CEN
turtles and even now we find what we
call papyrus rolls in the tomb.
Hence our word paper derived from
papyrus.
Assyria was the second to have
a method of writing and they used
what we call cuniform signs, and
they also wrote on clay tablets.
The Chinese had picture writing
and they made their paper from a
plant by beating and boiling it and
then pressing it under stones.
The PhOenicians made an alphabet
consisting of twenty-five letters,
each representing a consonant, and
had certain sound for the letter.
1t is doubted that the Phoenicians
invented this alphabet themselves,
for they seemed to have borrowed
most or all of the signs for letters
from neighboring peoples. Egypt,
and Crete may have fur
nished the Phoenicians with their
signs.
The Phoenicians, whether they did
originate the alphabet or not, did
most to spread knowledge of it in
other lands. They were great trad
ers and whenever they went they
carried their alphabet.
The Greeks learned some if not
I'll of their letters from the Phoenic-
ans and in turn taught them to the
Romans, from whom other European
peoples borrowed them. The Rom
ms put the capitals.

century by man named Gutenberg. |

Large logs are cut and floated '

here it is cleared of its bark and is t
