are eliminated, and our teaehtrt'S re-
port that it makes for much happier
relations with the homes.”
The curriculum innovations at Eagle
Rock reach from the seventh grade
to the twelfth grade. Each two years,
each child is assigned to an instruc-
tor who supervises the child for the
two-year period.
Such fundamental subjects as math-
ematics are a part of the entire high
school course, but many of the sub-
jects such as history and literature
are correlated to make them more
interesting.
In addition, from the seventh to
the tenth year, the child is given an
introduction to the sciences, such as
biology, chemistry and physics, in a
simplified form, and also a glimpse
of such subjects as music, art, busi-
ness, industrial arts and drama. In
these periods of exploration, the
child’s major and general interests
are discovered and the last two years
are devoted to the development of
those interests.
SCHOOLS WITHOUT SET
STUDIES, REPORT CARDS
WIN HIGH RATING
LOS ANGELES, March 1.—A school
where there is no such thing as re-
port card grades.
A school where they try to find out
what a fellow wants to study instead
of telling him what he has to study.
It all sounds like the dream of a
schoolboy on the night before final
examinations, but it actually exists
in Los Angeles. .
As a matter of fact, there are two
schools where report card grades
have been banished. They are the
David Starr King Junior high school
and the Eagle Rock high school.
At the Eagle Rock high school the
curriculum is being developed in such
a fashion that it seeks to ascertain
and develop the natural interests and
abilities of the child instead of con-
forming to a set, rigid formula.
The success of the Eagle Rock high
school has been so marked that it is
rated by the U. S. bureau of educa-
tion as one of the three best high
schools in the country and its gradu-
ates are accepted upon mere recom-
mendation of the principal’by 275
the usual specific study requirements.
The elimination of report card
grades and the experimentation in
high school curriculum is being car-
ried out under supervision of Arthur
Gould, deputy superintendent of
schools.
In lieu of the grades on the re-
port cards, the teachers keep the par-
ents of each child advised as to the
progress the child is making and the
child’s attitude towards his work. If
the child begins to fall behind in any
subject, the parents are immediately
notified and are encouraged to con-
fer with the teachers for conferences.
That’s all there is to it. The child
either passes or “flunks.” There is
no way in which the child himself
can compare his work or any one else
can compare his work with the work
done by another child.
“We put the child into competiton
only with himself,” Gould explained.
“There is no opportunity for the
child’s parents or his fellow students
to ridicule the child because his work
is not as high as that of a more
brilliant student.
“We find that under this system
the child apparently is vastly hap-
pier and works harder; the tendency
to develop inferiority complexes, be-
cause of discouragement when he
finds that some fellow student has
received a higher grade, is eliminat-
ed; temptations to crib or deceive
BLUSHING NEWLYWEDS
ROB PAIR AND GET
$500 FOR HONEYMOON
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—From now
on George Rosenmann, Coney Island
real estate dealer, will look askance
at newly married young couples who
want to rent an apartment.
“We would like,” said a shy young
man in spats Thursday, “to look at
some apartments.”
“We have just,” said the blushing
young woman at his side, “been mar-
ried.”
Rosenmann beamed warmly and
showed them a floor plan of just
what they wanted.
All atwitter, the young couple step-
ped outside a minute to talk it over.
When they re-entei’ed, the bride-
groom had a pistol in his hand and
, a snarl in his voice. And there was
three men behind them.
The bride took $300 from Rosen-
mann and $200 from another prospec-
tive tenant and then they all left,
leaving the two victims bound and
gagged.
Miss Cornelia Belk left Thursday
for Paint Rock after a short visit
here. She was accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. J. B. Belk.
Miss Ferrell May Lewis and Miss
Virgie Freeman of Pasadena are
spending the week end here with the
former’s father, H. F. Lewis. Both
the young ladies teach in the Pasa-
dena schools.

L. H. S. DAY BY DAY
Meditations in study hall: I wonder
why Norma Louise Irvine is always
so serious in fifth period study hall.
Some of English III students are go-
ing to turn out to be poets yet if
Mrs. Norris continues to demand
poetry.
Roy Dawson was quite amused in
study hall the other day. Wonder
why? The choral club girls almost
had a party for themselves at the
Chamber of Commerce banquet last
Tuesday.
Charlotte Stapp was wearing a new
diamond last week, but I wouldn’t
say who gave it to her. During the
past week everyone, especially the
“Fish,” have been running around
like chickens with their heads cut
off trying to cram for exams.
Boots and pants came into style
again when the seniors decided they
wanted a picnic. The initiations last
Tuesday weren’t so pleasant for Har-
ry Goodman, Earnest Montgomery
and Joe Herrmann.
Personal nomination for best sport
in L. H. S.—Athene Ramsel.

SCANDALOUS
Is it true that Barbara Tomlinson
is in love with a certain chubby soph-
omore boy who sits near her in Early
European History ?
Did you ever notice R. C. making
eyes at T. S? You should.
There is a certain brown-eyed girl
in the freshman class that Eugene
Zoble just can’t seem to get over.
Who is she?
Anna Lou Moore has a new secret
passion. She won’t even tell us, the
poor old reporters. Tsk! Tsk! and
on her notebook she has, “man hater,
that’s me.”
This is Van Dyke Gillen’s essay on
Frogs: “What a wonderful bird the
frog are! When he stand, he sit,
almost, ^yhen he jump, he fly, al-
most. He ain’t got no sense, hardly.
When he sit, he sit on what he ain’t
got, almost.”
H. E. Ill MAKES EXPERT
MENTS WITH MILK
Experiments with milk were made
Monday by the H. E. Ill girls who
are studying infant nutrition. The
purpose of thd experiment was to de-
termine the effect of acid and rennin
on \dijfferent kinds of mjilk. Raw
cow’s milk, boiled milk and evaporat-
ed milk were used in making the
tests. After the experiments were
completed, it was decided that evap-
orated milk would be the best food
for an infant.
JOKES
James Berry: “What’s the height
of dumbness?”
Odean Hammett: “About six feet,
aren’t you?”
David Goodman: “Lookit, look at
the funny holes in that board.”
Mr. Goodman: “Those are knot
holes.”
David: “Yes, they are too, Daddy.”
Baseball ballad: A big good inning
is half the battle.
Mr. Carothers: “What are the Har-
vard Classics?”
Buster Smith: “The football games
with Yale and the Army.”
Mr. Moore: “Class, why are all of
you so averse to the story that the
first woman was made from a rib?”
Maurine Greeson: “It’s a ticklish
subject.”
Frances Yarbi-ough: “How can I
get a wart off my hands?”
Marie Yarbrough: “Why not shoot
him?”

NORMANDIE
A masterpiece of science,
Appliances handy,
Built for defiance,
The good ship Normandie.
No ship was ever built
With such gigantic form.
With wind and wave to tilt,
To battle ’gainst the storm.
As large as thou art,
Thy rudder still behaves
While thy palpitating heart,
Sends thee through the waves.
Do not fail, Masterpiece.
Show the world science is true.
As you sail in storm or peace,
On the Atlantic’s blue.
TEN BOOKS ADDED TO LIBRARY

books, and professional books have
been received for the high school li-
brary this week.

Barrett’s Elopement,” by Carola
Oman, “Oil for the Lamps of China,”
Hobart; “Laddie,” Porter; and “A
Lantern in Her Hand,” by Aldrich.

SPORTING SPORTS
Track is still in the limelight in
the high school, and is progressing
very rapidly. There are only five
more practice days before the Bad-
gers leave for the invitation meet at
Cameron. Lampasas has the best
prospects in the history of the school
to win the county meet in the track
events.
The tennis tryouts were started
this week and a number of matches
have been played. In order to be
eliminated a player must lose twice.
The tryouts must be over by next
week as the tennis team will also go
to Cameron to the invitation meet.
BADGERS CHANGED
TO DISTRICT 33 B
Lampasas high school will play
football in District 33B next season,
a division of Region 9.
High school teams in this district
are, Lampasas' Burnet, Fredericks-
burg, Llano, Mason and Lometa.
Lometa is the new team added to
District 33, the other teams having
been members of the former Dis-
trict 18B.
Coach Moore announces that games
have been scheduled with Hamilton,
Gatesville, Burnet, Mason and Fred-
ericksburg for neixt season.
INFANTS IN HIGH SCHOOL
According to their birthdays, we
have two infants in high school, Ches-
ter Warren and Bonner Stach. Ches-
ter will be four on his next birth-

these students were born in Leap
Year, and they have a birthday only
every other year.

REV. C. E. LAMBERT

Rev. C. E. Lambert, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, gave the stu-
dents a talk Wednesday morning on
“Habits.”
He said that habits we’re {both
helpful and detrimental in life and
rhat we should strive to form helpful
habits in our everyday life. The
points that he placed special emphasis
on were the habits of truthfulness,
action, decision, faithfulness and
sympathy.
He showed the importance of hav-
ing the whole world believe in your
honesty when one grows older, and
how much satisfaction one has from
making a habit of telling the truth.
Sympathy towards your fellowmen
and yourself was another habit em-
phasized.

WILL WRITTEN ON CHRISTMAS
CARD IS HELD INVALID
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 28.—A
will written on a Christmas card and
assigning all of an estate to the
husband of the deceased, was ruled
invalid in county court today by
Judge C. J. Blinn.
As a result, four sisters of the
dead woman, Mrs. Warnetta Hazlett,
will share in half the estate, and
the surviving husband, Henry L. Haz-
lett, will receive the other half.
Mrs. L. S. Abbott, Tulsa, and Mrs.
D. W. Osterfund, Oklahoma City,
two of the sisters, had protested the
will, written by Mrs. Hazlett a few
days before she was married.
Judge Blinn held that a will made
by an unmarried woman is voided
by subsequent marriage, even to the
heir named in the will.
The estate consisted of an island
in the St. Lawrence River and prop-
erty in West Virginia, Ohio and
Oklahoma.
