POSTOFFICE IN SCHOOL OPENS 4A-5B Room at School 5 Has Interesting Project. The "open for business” sign is hanging on the postoffice of the 4A-5B room at Oscar C. McCulloch school 5, at 612 West Washington street. „ The pupils set up the office as part of their study of the various businesses. To start their venture, the pupils held a civil service examination. Questions asked covered topics the pupils had been studying in geography, civics, arithmetic and other subjects pertaining to the running of a postoffice. Those who made 80 per cent or above were selected for places in the postal agency. Materials and tools were brought from home to build the office. Now, any one in the building may buy stamps and mail letters and packages. In fact, on the first day of business, six pieces of mail were handled. ' And the pupils are convinced that more business for their venture is “just around the corner.”

Barbara Dyar Written at the request of De Witt D. Wise, assistant editor of the School Press Review, official publication of the Columbia Press Association, the November issue of this magazine carries an article written by Barbara Dyar, editor-in-chief of Staff II of the Arsenal Cannon of the Tech high school. The article explains the l cason for including cuts of vocational classes at work used in the January, 1932, issue of the Arsenal Cannon magazine, a type of story which Mr. Wise believes sells the schools, not only to the student body and the parent, but also to the outsider. Halftones also appear with the article. EDUCATION PROGRAM IS GIVEN AT NO. 82 Junior High School Pupils Present Events in Auditorium.
