LANGUAGE STUDY IN GARFIELD TRACES EARLIEST SPEECH "Where're you going?" "Room 12." "What for?" "General Language." "Oh. what's that?" "Nobody knows!" The 7A's who went wonderingly into Miss Elliott's room to the newly announced class at the beginning of this term soon found out what they were going to study in the class named "General anguage", and if you talk with them a little they will tell you eagerly about it. They are learning that language was not poured into a mold long ago and given out to each new generation of people just exactly as it was given to the older generation. Far from that. It is a living, growing thing, and has grown from something very little and simple into something very big and complicated, just as people grow, only it has taken hundreds of centuries for language to grow and develop instead of just some few tens of years as it takes a person to develop. Language is always changing, swelling and shrinking it is human, it is a living science. It is this science that the 7A's are studying in this newly planned class. The first two-thirds of the term, the class will study the very beginning of language will earn how the early cave dwellers first began to use sounds to express themselves. The last third ofl the term will be actual work in Latin and French which will help them to be able to elect the foreign language they wish to study when they pass Into the eighth grade. COLOR SCHEMES Blackberries are red when they are green. A red cow east green grass, gives white milk and that makes yellow butter. Claude Bond, 14, Garfield 8B

These Letters Have Gone
Vaile School, Richmond, Ind. Feb. 16, 1921. Dear Mildred: I an going to tell you about my rnbbit. Once my lister and I were catching little rabbits. We gave four away and kept one. We put it in a bird cage, and once it got out and ran away. The next day we found it. About two weeks after that it ran away again, and we found it. It ran away four or five times. We taught it to play hide-and-seek, and she did it. After a week or two we went out to feed it and it was dead. The bird cage and everything was torn up. A dog did it. I cried anl father said he would get us another next summer. I would like for you to write again to me. Yours truly, ' EMILY JENKINS. Whitewater School, Richmond. Feb. 17, 1921. Dear Viola: I was glad to receive your letter and to know where you live. Richmond is a very nice place to live. We have many beautiful homes and churches and good schools. There are 10 graded schools and a Junior and Senior high school and Earlham college. I am in the 5-B grade. I like my teacher very much. Her name is Miss Murphy. We had a nice time on Valentine's day. We had a shower of fruit and valentines for our teacher. Then we had a box for the children to put their valentines in, and one to give them out to the children. I have a little pet. He Is black and white and is about as big as a cat. He lets me ride him in my baby buggy. I wrap him up like I do my dog. Have you an orchestra at your school? We don't, but will have one soon. I am learning to play the violin, so I can play in the orchestra, i

THE WHISPER WIND
The whisper-wind speaks very low, a lispy, whispy voice just sc. He comes by night to talk with me about the rumpled, crinkled sea. And of the spinning, misty spray and white-dipped sails that swing away. A bit of salty breath he brings and whiffs of curious, spicy things. The whisperwind speaks very low, a lispy, whispy voice, just 8- Christian Science Monitor.

Dear George I on't think you know about the Earlham museum. There are all kinds of animals. There are elephants, reindeer, alligators, rattlesnakes, monkeys, squirrels and all kinds of crustaceans. All kinds of wonderful stones p.nd a Mexican hat. It was called the rain hat. It was about as round as a wash tub. There are wooden tools made by little men such as a wooden monkey wrench, wrenches, hammers, chisels, and a number of other things. Yours truly, Donald Hewitt. Hibberd School, Richmond, Ind.
