RAIN WASHES
 OUT TRIO OF
 BALL CONTESTS
Third Game P o stponed d Last Night - Elks,
 Moose Sunday
RESULTS YESTERDAY Legion ys M0O-e, postponed, rain.
GAME TOMORROW At Baseball Park-EIks vs Mccse at 5:30 o'clock.

Rain washed out City Leagues third game this week. The Legion and the Moose couldn't play last night because of the downpour.
 But, tomorrow afternoon at 5:3O o'clock, the Elks and the Moose are billed to cross bats in a nine-in- ming contest. Whether they will have the opportunity to do that is doubtful The official weather fore cast is for continued rain.
 With all three of this weeks games postponed because of in- element weather, the situation re- mains the same relative to tomor- rows clash as it was on Tuesday when the same teams were sched- uled to clash.
 The Moose, by winning, can jump to a first-place tie, while an Elk win would keep that team in the second half championship picture.

of English Taught
In Our Junior High School

tails Of the first two factors gives
the students constant association
with grammar situations and pune
tuation needs. Daily drill Of this
type keeps more grammar and
punctuation usage constantly be-
fore the students than is achieved
by one lesson on each particular
section. Spelling is conducted on
much the same lines; each day Of
the week the students have con-
tact with the weeks words-pro-
nunciation, syllabication, definition,
word study. trial tests, and re-
view.
Oral and written composition
permit practical application Of
the basic composition factors
grammar, punctuation and spelling
with which the students become
familiar. Oral work helps the stu
dents to think on their feet, keep
their wits about them; be on the
alert to keep that most difficult of
audiences, the junior high school
audience, interested; select the
graphic word or phrase; and apply
the mechanics of grammar to their
speech. Care must be taken to pre-
vent memorization for an oral
talk, for then most of the benefit
of composition of this type is lost
the speakers concentrate on their
words, forget the atten-
ton they must give and receive
from their audience and profit little
from their appearance before the
class. Teachers circumvent this
memorization by stressing prepare
ton from a short, topical outline so
that the speakers must form their
sentences around the ideas jotted
down; other methods are classroom
assignments, for use the same day,

er knows have been read; topics

Miss Pearl Swope Writes
goth Article-Inter-
esting Subject

The content, procedure, and &C
tivities of junior high school Eng
lish are organized to stress basic
personal and social needs of the
group, varying with available mat
erials and, above all, with the likes
which the pupils are developing.
1t Is essential, in as formative a
period as the junior high school
period, that the students acquire
in their English an instrument for
their use. In an English speaking
country English is the fundamen-
tai field in all teaching. The stud
ents' standard of work in science,
history, mathematics, and COM
mercial studies depends on their
reading ability, state Of reading,
comprehension, spelling and ability
to state ideas and knowledge in
writing. From the. first grade until
the students are graduated from
high school they are constantly
applying this use Of English. Just
as English is the fundamental field
in all teaching in an English
speaking country, so it is the fun
damental social factor, and as this
social factor it is coming into i'm
portance during the junior high
school period.
The junior high school students
are beginning to realize that some
day they will have a part, however
small, in our society; they are be-
ing guided, at this age, into a real
ization Of some of the lesser re-
sponsibilities which will automati-
cally be accorded them because Of
their education. Conducting a
meeting, writing a letter, making
an introduction, answering a tele-
phone, telling someone else about
a book, reading a vital article or
paragraph for salient facts, are all
activities in junior high school
English. Small beginnings in the
classroom, but the foundation is
laid.
The two major divisions of jun
ior high school English-composi-
ton and literature-are further div
ided, with the composition separ-
ated into oral and written compo-
sition, the literature, into silent
and oral reading with emphasis on
Interpretation and appreciation.
The basic factors In composition
are grammar, punctuation, and
spelling. Daily drill in fundamen-
