Classes
‘Who said that Biology classes don’t
get anywhere? Well, last Friday ours
did when they went to Forkston Moun-
tain. And believe me they didn’t miss
much.
They saw the fire tower and studied
many different kinds of trees.
Some of you say, “What good is
© this?” Well, T'll tell you. It adds to the
student’s intelligence and shows that!
he is taking some interest in the schoo!
‘and that the teachers are taking some
interest in the students.
The class was accompanied by Mr.
Hadsall, They drove in cars to the
tower then part of the class walked
across the mountain to Root Hollow. I
call this adding to the physical health
of the student. Come on Biology
classes, let’s go on more trips.

As they have in every other way, epidemcs will
strike where troops congregate. But epidemics also will
ravage cities demoralized by bombs containing not only
explosives and gas, but germs.
All this will bring home to the stay-at-homes the true
monstrosity and futility of war, and that will be a good
thing. For that alone, probably, will make the great
mass of people do what so far they have failed to do—
rise in all their might and refuse to allow another war.
Right NOW is the time to Act. Sign a petition today, see
that your friends sign it. Talk up the Luzerne By-Pass if
you want action.
There's only one drawback to this lesson: that is,
that most qualified experts agree that civilization can-
not survive another war. The next “war to end wars” Ras
probably will end civilization also. The time for us to
rise in our might is now!
