In German II for the past week
we have been reading, translating
and have had vocabulary tests. One
story we read was entitled 1.-THE
Travelling Pupil Of Paradise"
In Chemistry we are having ex-
periments on hydrogen, its pre-
paration, and burning. We also
have learned the Boyle's and Char
les Laws and have been doing
problems involving them.
GRADES
When the students get to the
third grade, they learn to write;
they are taught to write clearly,
and plainly. This last week in
practicing writing the following
wrote the best of the class: DON
aid Westbrook, Donald Hanson,
David PETERSON, Marilyn Hansen,
Patty Marthaler, Caroline Spooner,
David Casey and James Reznechek.
In library this week they had only
60 percent Of the class reading
books; but they all hope to have
100 percent before long. In Art
they have just finished making
their art booklets.
Miss Beck's fourth grade has
made free hand maps of Mime
sofa; the best maps were put on
the bulletin board. The following
drew the best ones: Robert Blaski,
Donna Mae Leitz, Maria Vail and
Nova Jean Iwinski.
Miss Boehmke's second grade
have the best letters written to
the post office men who showed
them through the building, upon
the bulletin board. They are all
very neatly written. The follow
ing have one hundred in spelling

PAGE THREE

Here is a mastery picture Of the
way people felt in those days and
how boy Of partly German par
entage reacted to the war senti-
ment and to his German-American
relatives.
Thus 1t is an intensely timely
book which speaks eloquently to-
day Of the feeling of Americans
toward a foreign war. There is
the material for controversy here
in the contrast that some people
will see in the attitude of young
people then and now. Hence a nov
ell Of young love in Illinois is not
so far afield from Sheean's main
line Of work as might first appear.
The love story is tender, poignant
and revealing. Here is the eternal
problem Of the sentive, intelligent
young man growing up in an un-
congenial atmosphere, finding un-
derstanding and appreciation in
the inevitable wreckage of such a
love with advancement to wisdom
through suffering and disillusion.
The novel closes with a climax
so dramatic and so unexpected that
it is bound to create endless talk.

THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM
By A. j. Cronin

The hEIS Or The hlNGDOM
BY A. j. Cronin
Ten years ago DR.. Cronin's first
novel, "Iatter's Castle, made him
famous almost overnight. In 1887
his fifth novel, 1.-THE Citadel" top
ped the best seller lists of England
and America for months and was
discussed by millions for its story
and because Of its implications in
the field of medicine. Now he has
written a novel which Is as drama
tic as "Hatter's Castle" as moving
as 1.-THE Citadel" and more signif-
icant than either of these by rea-
son Of its spiritual quality. It takes
its title from Christ's words to
Peter, "And I will give to thee the
keys of the kingdom of heaven"
and it is the story Of Francis CHS
holm, Father Francis, a Scots
priest. 1t tells Of his Tweedside
youth, of his education, of how his
environment and tragic vent i'm
PEELED the young man to become a
priest. He was a curious mixture
Of childlike simplicity and logical
directness, and he was a complete
individualist. He believed that toll
erance was the highest virtue, and
that humility came next. So when
his idealism made him, in the eyes
of his superiors, a failure as a
curate, the Bishop, who under
stands him, offered him a vicariate
in China; and there, for thirty-five
years, a thousand miles from Tsien-

The ninth grade English class
taught by Miss Nestande has been
studying a unit on the library. They
have drawn diagrams of the lib
rary showing all of the various
parts. Some of these are so good
that they are going to be posted
in the library. Dick Iwinski brought
a picture Of the Bic bomber which
has a PIP foot wing span to the
social studies class. He also brought
a picture showing the boys at Camp
Ham. This has been hung in the
assembly where everyone may view
it. Money and exchanges has been
studied by the social studies class
and as a result many of the pupils
have brought in foreign, unusual,
and all types of coins.

Do you know what the ninth
grade Business Methods classes are
studying now? Something that will
help them later on in life, can't
you guess yet? All right, they are
studying that section we liked last
year, Shipping by Express. Re
how we discovered the
factor which determined the means
Of transportation for different kinds
Of goods? Interesting subject, too,
I might add.
Everyday we find newer and
more streamlined methods being
used. An example of this is Mr..
Coughs seventh grade History
class. They have a new textbook
now under the title Of Social

sOPHOMOREs

During the past week the typ
ing classes have made very much
progress. They now know all the
letter keys. and almost all the
number keys. The students are
still making perfect copies from
the exercises given to us by Miss
Jones. We have also had some
more one-minute speed tests in
which most Of the students have
twenty-five words per minute.
The sophomore English classes
during the past week have COM
pleted the unit on Essays" and
also had their test on it Monday.
We then started a unit on "Bio-

SENIOR HIGH
In history the tenth grade class
have been given a map Of the
world. They are to locate the con-
tinents, the most important coun-
tries. rivers, mountains and bodies
of water Then the equator and
the two tropics must be located.
These are the Tropic of Cancer,
north of the equator and the Tropic
of Capricorn, south Of the equa-
tor. They are also required to
locate the prime meridian and de-
grees Of longitude. Then when this
is completed the bodies Of water
are to be indicated by blue color
crayon and the most important
countries with different colors.
The tenth grade Latin class has
begun the study Of verbs and in
finitives. They are learning per-
sonal endings Of verbs and the use
of infinitives. They are also study
ing interrogative pronouns. This
week they will have their third
vocabulary and their third Progress
test.
This week the Geometry class
has finished the chapter on Ex-
perimentations and has started a
new chapter called Assumptions.
It has a list of Postulates with
which the class works.
The Biology class is studying
roots Of plants and the different
kinds of fruit each plant bears.
Mr.. Ray Schwartz took some of
the foods and tested them for sug-
ar, starch or protiens.
At last, much to our dismay, our
Latin III progress tests have ar
rived, and we are to take them
Thursday. This last week we have
been reading about the voyage of
Ulysses.
In English class this week, we

Many other people throng the

in the dramatic scenes for which
DR.. Cronin is famous; because of
it's chief character, whom you may

The Hagerstown globe., 1941-09-12

There has recently developed a
rush of criticism in certain news
papers of the progress of defense
production of guns, tanks, aircraft,
etc.
1t may be a coincidence that this
barrage follows so closely on the
steps of the isolationist wing of the
Republican party in calling for an
about opposition to President
Roosevelt's preparedness program,
and the G. o. P. caucus of Repre-
sentatives in Congress that follow
ed.
This statements of an alleged
breakdown of our production, pur-
porting to give detailed reports of
the actual number of guns, planes,
tanks, ETC., that have been turned
out, is probably the most welcome
information" that Herr Hitler has
obtained from this country. One
might gather, if he believed these
politically partizan accounts, that
everything in America was in con-
fusion; that we were producing
nothing worthwhile; that the Army
is disorganized and the Navy in al
most as bad shape, and that moth
ing is as it should be. Fortunately
the real picture is very different.
as every report from overseas tells
OF the part being played by Yankee
built alrshipe, tanks, ETC., in the
battles in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Naturally, America could not
produce fifty thousand planes over
night. Just as naturally it could
not equip an army of a million and
a half of men with the latest mod
els of war gear, the factories and
tools for the making of which had
to be built from the ground up. So
the outfits that are gleefully citing
our national deficiencies are hay-
ing a lot of fun jeering at the en-
bryo army that is training largely
with out-moded rifles, dummy tanks
and artillery either of an old vint-
age or in some cases merely imita-
ton cannon of wood. Incidentally
the production of one essential ele-
ment in defense preparation is
nine months behind because the
anti-administration bloc in Con-
gress held up, by filbustering meth
DDS, the enactment of the requisite
legislation authorizing that produc-
tiOn for nine months.
In the war games, bombs are big
fire crackers, grenades are smaller
things of the same sort, which lead
some OF the critics to be mournful
and to suggest that soldier morale
is dWindling because of these imi-
tatlOns. If we had all the bombs
and shells we will have in the fu-
ture, is it likely that they would be
spent in the kindergarten training
men who never saw a big gun or
ever fired a small one?
The Springfield perhaps is not
so good a rifle as the Garand, but
a man once accustomed to one is
not going to have any trouble using
The Hagerstown globe., 1941-09-12

the other, and meanwhile he is
learning the rudiments of rifle prac-
tice, drill and all the rest of it.
What 1t Takes
Shooting is not all there is to
military training. The men must
be taught mass operation and the
thousand and one other elements
of army life, including how to take
care Of themselves. Most of all
they must learn discipline. Long
before they have served their term
OF service, they will have had prac-
tice with the very weapons they
will use if it comes to war.
Now just how do we stand in
regard to production? President
Roosevelt the other day suggested
that Senator Byrd had been "sold
down the river" on the figures he
produced indicating a lag in the
output Of munitions and guns. The
Senator said not a single tank had
gone to England. Actually hun
dreds Of modern tanks have been
turned over to Great Britain. The
Senator said only four of the big
anti-aircraft guns were program
med monthly. The President re-
ported that the program called for
Is times that number. The Sena-
tor prophesied only fifteen of the
Sim mortars would be produced
monthly. The fact is that we put
out 231 of these monsters in July
and the promise holds that every
subsequent month will show many
more.
The layman may not be able to
interpret the suggested production
as meaning that our preparedness
process is adequate, so let us go
to those whose business it is to es-
innate plant capacity and that sort
of thing.
