Miss Helen Wilder Writes of
Difference of Course Today
and Ten Years Ago

How radically different Is the
English course offered in the high
school today from that Of ten years
ago! No longer does the English
teacher spend her days on drilling
pupils on abstract principles of
grammar, in helping them through
volumes of musty literature-all OF
which may have had no particular
bearing on the pupils life. Instead
the English teacher Of today asks
herself, ITS this particular work
necessary. VIII 1t help my pupils
to become better adjusted to their
every day life?"
In every phase Of our present
English course we find opportuni-
ties for assisting the child to be-
come better adapted to his environ
ment. Consider, first OF all, gram
mar. There the first objective Is to
help the pupil express himself bet
ter in both speech and writing in
his daily life. Only those technic-
al, grammatical matters are
taught him which are nee
essary background for clear,
varied, and effective sentence struc-
ture, the general assumption being
that the man or woman who frames
his thoughts in forceful English
finds 1t easier to accomplish what
he sets after. 1t has become pos
sible with this aim in mind to chm
mate hours Of abstract drill hither-
to deemed necessary. AS result,
the chief function of the high
school grammar course today has
become first to maintain the skills
taught in junior high, and second
ly to attain higher degree Of fac
ility In those skills. The senior
high teacher, therefore, has the
time to concentrate her attention

Senior High English is Topic
of Interesting School Article

upon faulty grammar and ineffec-
tive sentences in the speech Of her
pupils, giving thorough drill on
those particular faults in daily ex-
preston until she makes correct
and effective talking habitual.
In composition, oral and written,
the prime consideration is again
the adoption Of this activity to
every day life. The child's oral and
written compositions are about
the things which when he Is
through school for the day he is
most apt to write and talk about
his home, his school, his friends,
his town. Such supervised class
room written and oraa work can
not help but reflect on his activi-
ties outside the English period. In
this phase Of English as in gram
mar, the senior high continues
what the junior high has started,
experimenting 1t by attempting to
develop greater proficiency In
thought development.
The choice Of literature for high
school has been made primarily
with two thoughts in mind One
Is that the senior high school read
ing course will serve as a recrea-
tional, Institutional, and inspira-
tional medium both now and in
the future. Hence, the books of
many Of the older, classical auth
ors are merely touched upon for
the majority Of pupils will never
delve into such books In their
leisure time.
Many different kinds Of writer's
are studied to open avenues of
appeal to every type Of child. Thus,
he is trained where to turn for bet
ter literature which cannot fail To
be more enhancing to him than
the cheaper writings. For example,
let us take small part Of the
course in American literature CIV
en- to the juniors-the short story
unit. There they learn to know
Poe and Bierce II they wish excit-
ing mystery or horror stories. Do

Can Be Made in City
Plan to Pool Orders for Feed At
This Time While the Price
Is Not Too High

Emergency Feed Loans are now
being made out in the office Of the
Count Agent, st. Cloud, and ar
rangements are also being made
for such feed loans to be made at
Belgrade, Sank Centre, and Broot-
en-. Those that find it more con-
venient to come to st. Cloud can
have them made out at the County
Agents Office. Others at dis
lance can avail themselves of the
facilities to be set up at the three
points mentioned. Folks who do not
have chattel mortgage, should
make the feed loan through the
st. Cloud Production Credit As
ISOLATION. Those who have no
further available credit should take
these emergency feed loans.
Those who already have feed
loans made out and are interested
in supplemental loans will be ask
ed to write the county agents Of
fee and have the supplemental
form mailed to either Belgrade,
Brooten, or Sank Centre, which
ever place they prefer, and at that
time the supplemental loan papers
can be completed.
Plans are under way at the
County Agents office to have or
ders for feed pooled at this time
in order that quantities Of feed can
still be purchased while the price
Is not too high and not entirely
out Of reason. Folks wishing to
pool orders in this way and are
making emergency feed loans
should make their requests to the
County Agent.

loved Mildred Bette Davis,
waitress with a cheap mind and
even a cheaper body. with so
much devotion that in his imagin-

Handicapped as he was with a

his false dream of the beauty"
that Mildred did not possess.
He even did this when she de-
stroyed him financially, abused his
pride and nearly ruined his finer
sensitiveness. Watch the scene
when Mildred attempts to use her
physical charms on Philip. Watch
Miss Davis reach dramatic
heights of fierce intensity which
1 never Suspicioned she possessed.
Watch Howard feebly try to
hang on to the vision he had Gre

She destroys herself and although
she nearly wrecks the sensitive
soul of Philip, she is defeated.
Two other women figure in the
life of Philip. They are Sally,

although different in characterize
ton, are perfect performances.
Take time to watch the splendid
acting of Reginald Owen as the

There is not a weak member in
