Visit School
Parents and friends of the school
are urged to visit school frequently.
1t is because it isn't done very often
that visiting is considered a nerve
racking experience. Teachers are en-
couraged, pupils will do their best,
and parents understand the reason
for progress or retardation of their
children if they visit school session.
Modern teaching methods are so
much more interesting than those of
fifteen or twenty years ago. The
special abilities of pupils are given a
chance to develop. The present
theory of teaching is that activity is
the chief lei of learning.
The teachers and pupils of the
P~lentywood schools invite all of yo-
to visit school at any time. Review
and examination weeks may not be
so interesting but they do not come
very often.
The Parent Teachers Association
met Monday evening in the high
school assembly room. Mrs. Gar
neau played two beautiful numbers
on the piano. A most interesting
language demonstration was given
by Miss MacMoran and a group of
third grade pupils. Mr.. Stegner
spoke on the activities of the school.
To conclude the program a number
f sophomores gave three original
playlets to demonstrate the value of
good English.
The home Economics girls served
hamburger sandwiches and coffee.
Some interesting newspapers
were made during the last week by
the English w class. The class
worked in group of four and each
group made a complete school news
paper. A large variety of subjects
were used for the news articles and
many humor columns were written.
This work was done in connection
with the study Of Journalism that
the class has been taking up.
THE Latin II class is working out
a project to typify the life of the
early Romans. To do this they are
making soap models, dressing dolls,
writing plays and constructing a
stage. The work is supervised by
Miss Dyste, the instructor.
Third Grade
We observed National Book Week
by making posters which tell the part
of a book we like best. We made
turkey book marks during art period.
Many of the boys and girls have
received Library cards from the
County Library and we hope very
soon to have everyone in our room

The alphabet

Have you ever wondered how the alphahoe
came to look as it does, why our letters, the
A b C S, were shaped and formed as they
now are? II you believe they were simply
made that way all at once, or designed in q
few days or weeks or years, you are miStakens
for they grew into their present appearance
from simpler letters that were written on n
Gent papyrus, stone and clay tablets thousands
of years ago. And many of them came to us;
very much changed, from the PhoenicianS. Who
were a civilized people when Europeans we're
still barbarians.
Tn phoenicians used the alphabet shown In
the first column Of the picture. You can see
that some Of their letters, especially the A, D.;
E, X, N and q, were very similar to our owns
while their o Is exactly the same as the Eng:
lish letter, and YOU will note that many or
the ether letters of the old alphabet have at
least some similarity to that which we use
today. But the Phoenicians were great trav:
elers and traders, and they carried their all
phabet with them to all parts of the known
world. The people with whom they traded
learned this alphabet and in time came to use
parts Of it, just as We today use parts of the
languages of other people. And in time these
borrowers of the Phoenician alphabet changed
it slightly.
Now look at the second column Of these
various alphabets and note how the Greeks did
a little Of this changing. Then compare this
second column Of the old Greek letters with
the third column of the later Greeks and with
the fourth column of Latin letters. You wiz
note that the changes were slow, but that al:
most every letter of these later alphabets came
from the first one. The Latin letters Of the
fourth column are about the same as those
we use today.
The change has always been from rather
complicated characters to simpler forms 50.
that their writing was easier. And while our
present letters may look simple to us today.
they, too, will be gradually changed, and II.
you could live a thousand years from today.
you might. be able to see additional changes.

Cactus a Fountain

The cactus plant is the fountain of the
desert. When a travellers water supply has
become exhausted he can obtain water by
supporting a cactus trunk on stones, building
a fire at either end, and making a hole in the
middle. The effect of the heat is to draw
the water out of the hole.
Another way to procure water Is to cut off
the top of a barrel cactus, pound up the pulp
and squeeze 1t. The water is rather salty and
bitter, but is clear and palatable.
Cactus plants are easily identified as shrubs,
with juicy stems bearing small, scale-like
leaves and punches of sharp spines. They
vary in size from plants about 3 or 4 inches
in height to trees 60 feet tall.
The plants are widely distributed In Euro
pean countries, and, with the exception of a
single species, all are natives of America. Here
they grow in the hot, dry sections of the
country, particularly in Southwestern United
States and Northern Mexico.
The "meScal button,' or ''payote' cactus,
is a strong stimulant, and can temporarily
quiet all hunger, thirst or fatigue pangs. The
Mexican Indians use this cactus for medicinal
and religious purposes.
The Indians use the juice of a certain
species for healing cracks in their feet end for
other medicinal purposes when on long
journeys.
The cactus flowers are usually large, and
vary in color from white, yellow or orange to
rose red, deep red or purple. The fruit Is
lasting, and in many cases Is charmingly
colored.

Jimmy Wins His Spurs
The Story ga Boy on a Big City Newspaper

porter. "Are you writing the great American
novel;"
Jimmy was a bit confused as he saw that
the reporter was reading over his shoulder, but
he managed a grin.
mo" he answere "Just getting some prac-
tice." He had paused in his writing and now
was reading over the story which he had writ
ten. 1t was a brief writeup, the account Of a
fire that occurred early that morning.
SUDDENLY the reporter uttered a little grunt,
and Jimmy glanced up to find him gazing
at him with an expression half of annoyance,
half of amusement, on his face.
."Say, why did you do that?" said Gable.
1.-THE reporter who wrote this story started it
off with the fact that a fire Of undetermined
origin caused slight damage in the Edwards
paint factory. But when you wrote it you
started off by saying that three business blocks
on the west side were endangered by the blaze.
How come"
WELL" said Jimmy, a little abaShed, but de-
termined to defend himself, II thought that
was most important, and you are supposed to
tell the biggest thing first, aren't you?"
"You sure are" replied Gable heartily, land
you are dead right about that yarn. It's a
lesson to me, for I wrote that little story my
self! I get careless once in a while, you know,
and slip up"
Jimmy flushed with pleasure, while the re-
porter dropped into a chair and regarded him
thoughtfully.
Look here, kid" he said, "why don't you
ask Mr.. Jones to let you try reporting once in
a while? I think maybe you could do it.
You're pretty young, but you are rapidly getting
the hang of things"
Jimmy gasped. GOSH" he exclaimed. do
you think he might?"
We'll, it wouldn't hurt to ask him." said
Gable. HE might laugh at you or bite your
head off, but OF the other hand he might
come through"
Jimmy drew a deep breath. "Il try it," he
muttered.
Go to It," encouraged Gable. And I'll put
In a good word for you If I get a chance"

with the bank. To borrow with an indorsey,
you must have some friend who is willing to
promise the bank that he will pay the loan II
you do not.
When you borrow on security, you do so by
giving the bank something other than money
that is valuable to the bank; something that
could be turned into money in tesa you did
not pay the bank what you had borrowed.
A beginner in borrowing usually finds &c
necessary to give some security. After he has
borrowed a good many times, and has shown
the bank that he always keeps his word and
pays when he promises he will pay, and after
he has accumulated some property so that the
bank knows that he is worth much more than
he borrows, he may be able to get "a line OF
credit" which means that the bank will lend
him money without security and without m
indorSer.
