First National Stores is the fourth
largest chain in the grocery field,
operating principally in the New
England states. The company
operates some 2,700 stores, about Is
per cent of which sell meats, fresh
vegetables and fruits. Under ag-
gressive company management
stores were rapidly added up to two
years ago.
Since then, however, conditions
have made it advisable to hold up
further expansion. Through large
use of local advertising the COM
pany has been able to show fairly
good sales increase.

AskOv Students Article Merit of
Publication.

In the Student Forum section of
the Feb. "a issue of the Scholastic
appeared an article written by Sigurd
Buck of our high school. The fol-
lowing letter, which was received by
Mr.. Anderson from Kenneth M. Gould,
managing editor, shows how great an
achievement this really is. He writes:
Il feel certain that you will be
pleased to know that we have received
from one of your students a contri-
button which merits publication in
Scholastic.
''Sigurd Buck has submitted a let
ter to our Student Forum, in which
he advocates some teaching in poll
tics for every high school student.
His letter will appear in the February
"a. 1894, issue of Scholastic, on
page 80.
I'm view of the hundreds of contri-
buttons which we are receiving every
week from schools all over the coun-
try and the impossibility of printing
but few of the very best, / am sure
this will be of interest to you and
your students.
THE Student Forum is one of sew
eral departments which Scholastic
maintains for encouraging student ex-
preston"
The following is the letter which
Sigurd Buck Submitted:
Teaching Citizens.
Dear Editor:
Every high school should have a
class with the sole intention of edu-
eating students in politics. BY this
do not mean we should conduct a
class to show children how perfect
a system rules us. Rather, there
should be taught every side of eco
romic, social and political problems
in government. Speakers should be
brought into school to present their
political views. In these lectures,
every party should be given a voice,
regardless of beliefs. In the past,
schools have seemed rather cautious
in selecting speakers to address
school children. How can citizens
and school children are future citi-
zens-hOw can they vote intelligently
if they do not have thorough knowl-
edge of every political view?
