Uncle A Jack has made a scoop— ! grabbed a big thing, and is | going to pass it on to his read- | ers. | You all have heard of the big | summer school that is organized | every summer by the Y. M. C. A., | at which the boys not only learn | the regular lessons in a new way, | but are taught to swim and dive | and to wrestle. They are taken | on country hikes, sleeping out- doors and cooking their own food. They see some of the big fac- tories building ship's engines and 8 lot of other interesting things At the vacation school, the boys go to class from §:30 to 11:30 in the morning and spend the rest of the day out-of-doors with their teachers. There is one teacher to every 12 0r 15 boys. Last year 130 boys from the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades went to the sum- | mer school. The teachers re- port that 48 boys were helped to GAIN A HALF-YEAR in their studies. The rest elther caught up with their back studies or were greatly strengthened tn their school work. C, W. Metsker, principal of the University Heights school, will devote his holidays to helping the vacation students as principal of the “Y" school. He will be as- sisted by more than a dozen men teachers—all principals of various Seattle schools and experts in the art of helping the boys. This year, for the first time, the Y. M. C. A. summer school will hold a 10-day camp for its students at Orcas isiand. Here, | during the summer months, when | the other kids are panting around on dusty streets and longing for just one chance to take a good, old-fashioned swim, “Y” boys are having the time of their lives. hunting, fishing, playing basebal! and tennis, and taking long hikes across country. ! | Now, here is the proposition: To go to the summer school and camp at Orcas island costs ordi- narily $16.50, and to the vacation | school alone costs $10, Want to win one of these priv- ADELE GIVES HER | DOLLAR POEM PRIZE VIEWS ON CIRCLE When Uncle Jack saw the an nouncement in the regular Star that they were holding a Buffalo "Bil limerick contest, he thought for a while that this would completely eclipse his own poem contest.
