Students do not know themselves fully. Their pur- pese and plans are constantly chan- ging to some extent. They need guidance to help them papi their ities and to ai em in “isteotuioe between real: and passing interest. ‘They need assist- ance in analyzing, their needs and in choosing wisely from the curri- cular offerings. Formerly, a highly _ selected group of pupils whose ultimate aim was a college education attended high schools.

[Payment Of Fees Lags At Douglass Once again we are urging all Pupils in grades 1 - 6 to pay their fees for supplies purchased for chil- dren in said grades. Douglass School is lagging far behind all other ‘schools in .com- pleting payment of these items of supplies which were displayed to Parents at the P. T. A. meeting. Again we wish to emphasize the fact that these consumable sup- plies are being used by your pupils daily. We wish to emphasize also that we could no more expect two or three children to use one set}. ‘PANEL DISCUSSION—Pictured here are the teachers of the secondary department of Douglass | of supplies than we could expect High School as they sit in on their panel discussion on “The Need for Guidance.” Presiding at | them to eat out of one plate.

The following words of wisdom constitute the motto of the club: “We Struggle to the End.” This is Fire Prevention Week and fire is no stranger for through the ages man has depended on This is indeed a very wise choice fire to cook his food and keep him for the club refuses to be torn a. | warm, but he has always found part. The members are united through brotherly love, supported by the loyalty of the members and protected by their faith and trust in God; surviving profitably by the hard work done by each and prov- ing beyond all doubt that the strug- gle is worthwhile. SOLDIERS ON LEAVE Soldiers on leave are Sgt. Robert Barnes, son of ‘Mrs. “Marylene White, H-1 Fort Village; Carl Bar- nes, son of Mrs. Vera Barnes of Fort Village; and William Robin- son, son of Mrs. Dora Robinson and husband of Rose Marie Robin- son, going to high school in increasing numbers, and because their school subjects are badly slected, school mortality is very high. At present, most of those who enter the first grade begin high school, fewer than two-thirds of these ue until they are’ graduated. es are now being formulated for stu- dents of low intelligence and for the physically defective. Guidance of students into these courses should reduce school mortality. The student has insufficient ex- perience to know what his needs are,in relation to the courses offer- ed. The high school program of ie coursés and curriculums are ical language. In the large high sh there are.generally at least 0 curriculums offered, and in the, small h igh school there are certain elective courses, Concerning all of le impossible’ choices a student eeds information. It is because of students’ limited understanding that real educational improvement May result through guidance. There are certain previous chool experiences, maladjustments, and social and economic conditions within the home that make guid- ance imperaive. Many students reach high school. with physical and mental defects, such as from reading habits, diseases and phy- sical disabilities, Sometimes these are not clearly definied, but will greatly affect shcool work and. la- ter life. Emotional conditions’ and certain home factors, both econo- mic and social, must be consider- ed. Narrow vocational training may result from special abilities or interests if a student’s choice is left entirely to him. Hence the need for guidance. Cornish Memorial A.M.E.

Cities especially suffered from fire in the early days because the buildings were made of wood and were built close together, and ence a fire got a good start, it was very difficult to stop it. When, under Emperor Nero, Rome caught fire in A. D. 64, the city burned for eight days. Lon- don has had a number of big fires, the first in 798. The great Lon- don fire of 1666 raged for three days. It was after this terrible fire, in which $50,000,000 worth of property was destroyed and six persons lost their lives, that the first fire insurance company was formed. Sometimes cities have been de- liberately set on fire. When the Russians set fire to Moscow to drive out Napoleon’s army in 1812, the city burned for five days, de- | stroying thousands of houses to the value of $150,000,000. About the same amount of property was destroyed by the Paris fire of 1871, which broke out during the communistic demonstrations which followed the Franco-Prussian War. Among other terrible city fires were Copenhagen’s fire of 1728, which nearly destroyed the entire city; the burning of Constantinople, lin 1729, when 7000 people were killed; the fire in Canton, China, in 1822, and Japan’s big fire in Yokohama, in 1866, which left two- thirds of the city in ruins. Some of the most destructive city fires have been caused by earthquakes, such as the one in Tokyo in 1923, in which 70,000 peo- ple were killed and a million made homeless; and the great fire in San Francisco in 1906, where the shock of the earthquake broke the water ‘mains, so that there was no way to fight the fire, which burned for three days, destroying $250,000,000 worth of buildings in the business section. One’ of the worst fires in the United States was the Chicago fire in 1871. caused by a cow kicking over a lantern, and it is known that it be gan in-a barn. For three days it burned si lily, completely de. stroying an area of three square mile$ in the center of the city. About 100,000 people lost their homes and 250 lost their lives. Boston has had several large fires. In 1835 New York City had a fire in the business section which cost $15,000,000. Baltimore’s business district was destroyed in 1904 by a two-day blaze. How Fires Begin There are many causes of fire, most of which are preventable. Insurance companies claim that 95 per cent of all fires could have been prevented if every possible Precaution had been taken. Smok- ers throw away lighted matches; chimneys are not properly lined; walls are not properly protected from the heat of stoves, furnaces, boilers, and pipes; roofs are covered with materials which sparks can easily set on fire; and cheap building materials are used which cannot resist fire.

Earl Adams, president of the Quarterback Club which backs the Key West High School team, at- tended the organization meeting to outline the operation of such a club and give the interested audience an idea of the scope of their work on behalf of their team. The first dinner meeting of the club was scheduled for next Tues- day night. The Douglass High var- sity squad and coach will be guests of the club at the dinner. Mr. Adams will also attend the dinner as guest of honor. Officers selected by the group were Arthur Sands, president; Aus- tin Stocker, first vice president; Willie Ward, second vice president; Bernard Roberts, recording sec- retary; Joseph Welters, corres- ponding secretary; and Ancel Ro- berts, treasurer. A board of directors was named consisting of three men who will serve for a one-year term, three for two years, and three for three years. They are: One year—Raymond Poitier, Floyd Hannibal and Robert Butler. Two years—Peter Valdez, Jim Stalling and James Roberts. Three years—John Sands, Joseph Thompson and Reynold Mingo. IN MEMORIAM In sad yet loving memory of our son, Henry Carey, who depart- ed this life 2 years ago Septem- ber 19, on the Korean Battlefield. ‘Though you are gone you are not forgotten The memory of you will ever linger in our hearts.” Mr. and Mrs. John Carey and Family. fires in homes are caused by care- lessness—by children playing with matches; by gasoline and oil stove explosions; by wood left near hot stoves; by spontaneous combustion in piles of rubbish; by neglected bonfires; and by defective electric wiring. Wooden buildings in large cities are being replaced by fireproof structures, thus greatly diminishing the number of fires. Fire losses in the United States are five times greater than they are in Europe in proportion to the population. This greater loss is doubtless due to the fact that wood is so widely used for building in North America. Every year hun- dreds of millions of dollars worth j of property is destroyed by fire in |the United States, and an average |of 15,000 people lose their lives. Fires interfere with business, and cause unemployment and suffer- ing. President Woodrow Wilson said that fires are a public menace as well as a private misfortune, and that great care should. he taken to prevent them. Fire cost the United States $1,112,000,000 every year, including the cost of fire departments, extra water sup- | Ply, and fire alarm service, as well jas the value of property de- | stroyed. After considering these im- jmense losses caused by fire, one |naturally asks what can be done |to prevent this waste. The answer is to educate all citizens, children jespecially, to always be alert to [the danger of harmful fires.

A previous ta- bulation indicates that in grades 1-3 — 193 pupils are enrolled, Of this number, 105 pupils have paid the full amount of $3.00, 37 pupi's have paid part and 57 pupils have made no payment at all. In grades 4 - 6 where 174 pupils lare enrolled 57 have paid the full amount, 34 paid part and 83 have made no payment at all. These figures seem to indicate that there must be a decline in furnishing pupils with these supplies unless greater cooperation is received.

However, we must say to parents that our children have already been in school six weeks at this writing. Please respond imme- diately.
