of analytical chemistry in the reg
ular course. It seems to me, the
city laboratory should be located
in this building and used by the
city chemist.
Eight: A physical laboratory,
with lecture room attached, should
be provided and equipped with
simple apparatus to aid in tn e
study of electricity, electrical EN-
cheering, telephone service, and
elementary mechanics.
Ninth: A room should be es-
pecially fitted up for the instruc-
ton in in shorthand, typewriting,
bookkeeping, banking, commercial
and business arithmetic, and other
subjects with high school business
arithmetic, and other subjects with
high school business training re-
quireS.
Tenth: The library should be n
which could be used not only by
the school, but by individuals who
are making Investigations a l g
any particular line as well. A
working library aould include a
department of history, a depart
ment of science, a department of
literature, and a department per-
tanning to agriculture, gardening,
poultry raising, etc., in fact the
very latest books bearing upon any
business profession should be
found there and placed at the dis
posal of the public.
There should be provided a mo-
ton picture machine SO that lee
lures and instruction can be given
in shich the gaining of knowledge
through the visual sense is utilized.
Eleventh: 1t should be borne in
mind that many of the best teach
ers who are serving in the city
schools and a number who are in
the county, are graduates of the
county high school, and that in the
future both city and county will
look more and more to the high
school to furnish competent and
we'll trained teachers.
Twelfth: l believe tn e county

should, at its own expense, pro-
the children who live beyond the
city limits. This can be done and
at a very small expense, as has
been demonstrated in many twons.
Thirteenth: AS to the amount
which should be Investigated in the
building, it will be interesting to
know that Columbia, S. c., which
has about the same enrolment as
thu Wilmington schools, has just
completed a building for one hun
dred and thirty thousand dollars;
Greenville, S. c. is arranging to
invest almost an equal amount,
while Asheville and Charlotte are
arranging to spend as much as
one hundred and seventy or two
hundred thousand dollars.

Key West Described By Pupil
OF Carolina Beach School

If you visit Key West, Florida,
you may see some reefs of coral
looking like ocean gardens below
the surface of the water. They are
different, strange and funny shap-
ed. We often find pieces of coral
broken off when storms made the
water rough and currents swiftly
washed them upon the shore.
Some of the shapes are like fans,
pans, vases, parts of %airplanes,
trees, snowballs, and other variet-
les. They always lose their color
when taken out Of the salt water.
Animals often live in and around
coral reefs. One is a coral crab.
He has small pieces of coral on his
back and he looks like coral when
still. Coral is a living animal and
can't move. Often ships have been
wrecked on coral reefs in the South
seas.-Robert Strickland, grade 6.

Who believes in ghosts?'
Long ago on the outskirts of a
small village in England there was
an old castle known as the castle
of the ghosts. One day a young
man and his bride moved in the
village. They rented a cottage
which never before had been used
because of it's nearness to the old
castle. Told about the castle, the
young couple, named James and
Blue Bonnet Ashe, said. Pooh
Whe believes in ghosts?'
This couple lived happily for two
weeks. Then one dark, rainy night,
an uncanny scream shattered the
stiffness. 1t came from the direc-
ton of the young couples house.
AS the people rushed from their
cottages they noticed a light in the
old castle was suddenly extinguish-
ed. Forgetting this incident, they
rushed to the Ashes home, where
they found the young man holding
the body of his wife in his arms.
She uttered the word, "Ghostsr!'
Then, Goodbye, my love-" and she
was dead.
After the funeral the next day
the man walked slowly back tc
the cottage and sat on the porch
and decided that in some way he
was going to avenge the death OF
his wife. He was advised to leave
the castle alone, but one night We
walked to the castle, went upstairs
and decided to watch.
Around nine that night, as he
was doing, he heard an awful
noice. He slipped to the head Of
the stairs, looked down, and saw
a crowd of hobos. He saw theil
leader was a ruthless looking mar
with small eyes. They had with
them matches and a lamp. They
lit the lamp and built a fire in
the hearth.
The leader spoke, (Which one Of
you scared that dame last night
and made her scream?"
L did, boss" one of them said
Il went to get some food. I hat
on an old sheet"
Good work, Jones. If we coult
scare all the people, we could con.
troll this town." He had hardl,

BRADLEY PUPILS
/. WRITING ESSAYS

We saw a picture about Navajo
Indians. We learned a lot about the
way they live. They have summer
and winter homes. The winter home
is made of logs and earth. There is
only one room. The summer home is
made of poles and limbs of trees.
The summer home is a long way
from the winter home.
The men and boys wear trowsers.
Sometime they buy them. They wear
shirts made of cloth. Sometime they
wear belts, necklaces, and bracelets
Of silver. The women wear waists
and long, full skirts. They wear
necklaces and earrings. The women
ball their hair up on the back of
their necks. The men yea bands or
hankerchiefs around their heads.
The Indians raise sheep and goats.
The sheep and goats eat the grass.
At night they stay in corrals made
Of logs. The women cut the wool
from the goats and sheep. Second
