BETTER ENGLISH
Lincoln high school this week is
observing a very important national
movement known here as Better Eng
English Week is to attempt to im
prove the speech of Lincoln high
school students.
Ame'rlcan speech is not a dainty,
cultivated style of verbal gymnab
tics. It stands for simple and pure
speech, sincere and characterlstlcal
ly American. It is not the object of
Better English Week to inspire the
use of long hard words that are
n.eanlngless to the average hlgn
school student, but instead to at
tempt to get rid of such granuiarl-
cal errors as "I ain't" and "she
done." The student who speaks
traight is the student who iujiks
straight. The strong use of strong
speech enables huu to say well what
he thinks and helps him think
belter. A careful, simple and pure
language helps him to say what we
means and mean what he says.
Good English is not only a stand
id which should be maintained but
it is the root of good Americanism
Everyone baa an opportunity this
week to help forward the Better iuag
lish movement. Let's all "set our
hands to the plow" and turn poor
English under.
Advocate, Lincoln High School
OH! LOUISE
There was a boy in Long Beach,
And he was wondrous wise.
He never bragged what he would do
But took me by surprise.
YEA, VERILY
My wife is like an automobile.
She costs a lot of cash.
And when I lose control of her
There's bound to be a smash.
Paddy makes mortar,
Paddy lays bricks,
And he drives to work
In his super-six.
Chappie.
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a girl and couldn't keep her,
"Cause she said she didn't like
The way in which he did recite.
