Poor eyes make back- ward children. They not only affect their work, but their nerves as well and health as well. Wisely, our educators do not consider glasses on children a “crime,” knowing that the dull- est child may be one of the brightest with the help of prop- erly fitted eyeglassees. For a limited time we will allow a 10 per cent discount to all per- sons who present this advertise- meni. EMPIRE OPTICAL CO. 84 South Main Street BEAUMONT TO HAVE FINE NEW BUILDING On election day, September 17, the pupils of Monroe township schools paraded through Main street, Beau- mont, to the polls. The urgent reasons for parading through the vicinity was that the school children were eager for a first class high school. In trying to persuade the voters the scholars sang melodious - songs, such as “America,” “Help It On” and ‘Rah! Rah!” They also gave yells. The students succeeded in secur- ing the. bond issue of $10,000 for the new building of the expected first class high school. Many wishes of gratitude have been expressed by the students toward the voters, who wish to prepare their children for a pur- poseful life. We hope that in the near future you will appreciate and realize how this new school has built up a progressive spirit in this vicinity. SOCIAL Lydia Smith, a graduate last year of Lehman high school, is enrolled this vear at Bloomsburg State Teachers’ College. ' The Rev. Stang visited our high school in Trucksville on Wednesday morning and gave an interesting dis- cussion on events that happened one hundred years ago this decade. Mr. Stang, when asked, admitted that he did not remember these events per- sonally, but that he had read vivjl accounts of them. Hence his familiar- ity with them. The schools of the Upper West Side will no doubt be delighted to hear that the baseball team of Kingston town- ship high school is again in training. Warren Taylor, the coach, says that he expects as much, if not more, from them as he obtained last year. At least one of the schools of the walley will rermember our team from last year. The Beaumont freshman reception was held on September 12. It was at- tended by about fifty students and friends. After the freshmen were soundly initiated by the upper’ ‘class- men they were made to feel better by the refreshments served to them. The senior high school class of Trucksville surprised their classmate, Robert ana, with a party in honor of his birthday. The class presented him with a fountain pen. UNIFORMS! They're the order of the day—from Liaketon to Dallas, from Lehman to Beaumont, the whole school world is donning new uniforms. - Football is a great game; you play to win, but: win or lose, it fosters a spirit of team- ship, a spirit of cooperation—eleven fellows must sink individuality and work as one. So, greater Dallas schools must don “new uniforms” this fall, unifonm of cooperation. Each school’ working its best as an individual must lose itself in winning for this Upper West Side, recognition in the Valley, where it should have had representation long ago. Football, track, scholarship or what not, the boys and girls of this section have ability and brains. “United we stand, divided we fall.” Cooperation means recogition. Cooperation it shall be. 0 Expansion Made by Ice When. it becomes ice water expands #0 that 917 cubic centimeters of wa- ter becomes 1,000 cubic centimeters of ice.

So here is the ideal way. But we can seen trends ang feel safe in moving in the direction of those trends in our own schools. Following is an enumeration of char- lacteristics that show the progressive trend, that can easily be adopted by all schools to a great advantage to pupils and teachers alike. 1. The school fits the children, not the children the school. 2. The major consideration is health —of body, mind and spirit. 3. Trust replaces fear as the basis of discipline. 4. The proper freedom of a well- conducted home prevails. 5. Pupil interest, not outside aver- sin, is the motive for effort. : 6. Young people are encouraged to think and judge, not merely to learg. 7. Enthusiastic, varied, group ac- tivity replaces passive learning. 8. The teacher is a friendly guide, not a mere taskmaster. 9. Scientific, sympathetic study of individual differences is made. 10. The expression of the desire to make things. 11. The world comes into school and school goes into the world. 12. Mechanics and routine secondary to natural procedure. 13. There is the fullest cooperation between school and home. LEAGUE OF °FRIENDSHIP Sisters and brothers of the lake, valley and mountain, we of this school offer you our hand in friendship and rivalry. Greater Dallas schools are united by the very object that separates us from the valley, namely, the 'mountain. Perhaps we are not united in every sense of the word, but we should be, as you will agree. We have always had rivalry of a sort between us, but I am sorry to admit that it has not beén as friendly as it might have been. - Quarrels have been frequent, and were not always patched up. But we have all tried to play fair, so that no permanent dam- age has resulted from these “spats.” ‘We wish, however, that a League of Friendship could be formed here among us. It would cut out so much red tape as far as rivalry is con- cerned. : If such a league should never cone to pass in any definite form, we de- sire that it should be on of those un- written traditions which all schools possess. Even though these schools of the Upper West Side are never united under one head and one name, let them be united under one spirit of friendship for each other.—Ellalee Shoemaker. are EDITORIAL ns a LIFE IS A VOYAGE By DARREL CRISPELL Junior Class, Beaumont High School Just as a voyage, life must have a beginning and a destination. ginning is generally pleasant, such as making new friends. everyone seems to like you.

If we apply ourselves diligently while in school we will acquire knowl- edge which will speed us onward to our destination. But if we do not study while in ‘School we are losing something that fe can never regain, just as if we are sleeping when our boat passes some important place on our voyage. At some places there is much to be seen on our voyage and we linger there that we may absorb more wisdom just as we stay one year in each grade during our school life. Some may find it easier to stay and not work, whereupon they must stay longer than the alloted time and as in school, they continue with the same work next year. Finally, after much hard work, the preparation for the voyage is com- pleted and we graduate from school, each pursuing the type of life we feel we are fitted for.
