What School Subject Do You Think You Like Best of All Hoys and skirls, tlu school editor was astounded at some of the life-ambitions.of you. Really, it was enough to startle most anyone. If you all live to o through college and prepare yourselves for the lite work that you think now that you would like "to follow, this will surely be a nut ideal world. Wars will have ceased in spite of the many Pershings that are to be. Because the teachers, and there were only 2 7 who declared themselves embryo teachers, made so many tirm and vlecisive declarations concerning their plans for the'teaching of the younger generation that the many generals could not possibly overcome such a defensive. And musicians and artists, farmers, engineers, doctors, lawyers and grocers that there are to be. And bankers (and one of the boys who hopes to be a banker said that he knew that he would make good for he already had 10 Thrift stamps can anyone doubt or question his thritl?), and railroad men. And so many more, for there weri so many, essays sent in, that it would be impossible to name them all here. But they were all very worthy essays and very worthy ambitions. And the school editor wishes every one of you all good luck and success in your aspirations. lispecially to the one wl.o wanted to be an "awful ood American." This week, write a story about the study that you like best. Which, of all your school work, do you think you are getting the most from? Perhaps you are like 'one girl who wrote an essay one time on a similar assignment, 'I get whatever I put into anything." The prizes for this week follow: First prize, Si. go cash, Alice Kubiak, Perley school. Second prize, 5o cents cash. Arthur Huber, St. Patrick's school. Third prize, two tickets to the Orpheum, Frank Fleck, Muessel school. Fourth prize, two tickets to the Lasalle, Ellen Glavin, Muessel school. Fifth prize, two tickets to the Auditorium, Vernon Howarth, Muessel school.

Many people will not have a Joyful Master, because they have boys none to war, and without them it makes a sad Master.

KALEY SCHOOL flaiU Greb aad Aua Lmio. Editors. GENERAL XOTMS. After untiring efforts of eery one at Kaley for Junior Red Cross we have reached our goal and our was shot over the top this week. Some most beautiful manifestations of fcaeririce and patriotism have been displayed in this campaign and all the teachers feel they hae been more than repaid for their labors by the realization that the spirit of Kaley is so truly loyal and self-sacriiicing. In many instances, especially among the maller children. acrirke even to depriaion and want were known. Many children were able to bring but a penny a day and this penny was the recompense for perhaps hours of labor. One little girl "watched by the geeses all day" and received only a penny, which she waa told she could have for cn.ndy, but she refused that she might drop it in the Red Crcs box. Another little child tood watching some of her little classmates dropping their pennies in the box and with tears in her eyes said: "Teacher, I haven't any pennies cause I haven't any papa," Corn has b.jen popped and fold here at th building, cocoa made and sold; yards raked: coal carried; ashes hauled: rags, paper, tinfoil sold. Each ar.d every child has endeavored in his own little way to gain for himself a membership into the Junior Red Croü. Tni is true patriotism. If each little foreign hoy and girl in their own childish way can be as brave little soldiers as these, we surely have much to look forward to in our luture from this element of our citizenship. In six-A history c!as Friday the time was given to the oral topics which had been outlined and prepared by different members of the class.
