Barnegat, X. J., April 20—UP— Several districts in New Jersey were swept tonight by forest fires and at least one town was threat ened with destruction. One fire sweeping down through the wooded region between Mana hawkin and Barnegat, reached such proportions shortly before midnight that it, was feared that it would get entirely out of control. The flames cut a swath about a mile wide as they roared through the wood and forced many farmers to remove their valuable belongings and join firemen from nearby com munities in attempting to check the fire.

Sterling A. Leonard, professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, and chair man of the committee of research of the National Council of English Teachers, said that English teach ers were not making very fast pro gress in “English correctness.” He claims that there arc two reasons for this: first, that, too many un true nnd unimportant things are taught; and second, that teachers rely too much on corrections that do not produce the desired effect. “English teachers should be inter ested in what their pupils have to say and how they organize it. They should be least interested in the mere form. Composition means or- j ganization of material with respect j to the audience,” Dr. Leonard said. Many teachers, according to Dr. Leonard, rely on the quite futile pro cedure of constant correction, which results only in hardening the pupils because they soon commence to think that everything they do is wrong. “Almost everything in the Eng lish grammars,” said Dr. Leonard, “was hatched in the 18th century with no historical justification. ,Tho statements were made by persons who knew nothing about tho his tory of English. This, also, pre vents us from teaching English cor rectly.” THfc BULL SBfS\ON The First Blast —in which “Crum” and “Ajax” paw the ground and snort. “Crum” —CHUM McINNIS stamped noisily into the living room of “The House,” threw himself into the one ^vacant chair by the fireplace, and ex ploded : ‘ ‘ I’m sunk—wreck ed—torpedoed.” ‘ ‘ Wlnit ’s-«-ma tier. Crum?” asked “Bart” Bartholo mew, from his place by the mantle. “You seem slightly annoyed.” “Well, I am—no foolin’. Here I start out with a nico new freshly laundered ten dollar bill to buy a few measly text books—and this flock of Coco Colas is all I’ve got left”—and he emptied the pocket of his cords pf. a handful of small change. “Whatta they think we are, any* way—Rockefellers? Three dollars for a Taussig! Three-fifty for a Chemistry! Two-seventy-five for a Psych!—and so on. It’s a stick-up— that’s wliaf it is.”, “I’m with you on that,” growled “Ajax” Henderson. “Thought I’d beat the game this year by buying second-hand books. I did save a little—but not much. Got this Geol ogy for three dollars.” “Let’s look at it,” said Bart. “If I’d known you were going to take Geology this year, I’d’ve saved my copy and sold it to you, instead of turning it in for half price.” Ajax passed him the book, and Bart riffled the pages. “ Well, I’ll be--” he exclaimed. “Wouldn’t that burn you up! Why that’s the very identical book I sold to the Co-op not more than ten days ago for two dollars in trade! And they had the nerve to soak you three bucks for it!” “That’s just what I’m roarin’ about,” Crum burst out, with re newed heat, “it’s a regular Tea-Pot uuim;—i licit awiiai it is. By golly, I—” “Wait a min ute,” interrupted Johnny Masters. “Wait a minute! Your radiator’ll boil over in a sec ond, Crum.” “Well, I’ve got Ajax” a right to be sore, haven t I! Stung for a lotta lousy books the profs wish oil me!” “ You don’t expect to learn any thing without books, do you?” John asked. “Course not. But that don’t sig nify they’ve got to hang such unholy prices on the darn things, either.” “How do you know the prices the Co-op charges are ‘unholy’?” re joined John. “I don’t suppose they’re any more than book stores charge anywhere.” “Oh, of course John would side in with the authorities,” commented Bart. “That’s what comes of being on the debate ^team, and the Student Council.” “Yes, and his Dad runs a store, too—don’t he, John? Don’t your old man run a store?” “He certainly does,” answered John. “If he didn’t, J wouldn’t be going to Oregon right now. He makes,a little money out of it—but none too much. But I've been around enough to see the retailer’s side of it —or some of it, anyway.” “Yeah,” growled Ajax, dis gustedly, “enough to take sides against the poor guy that pays two prices for everything lie buys. Why, everybody knows that we get stung right down the line. The Univer sity’s behind the whole thing, prob ’ly—just another way to squeeze money out of us—like the student body tax, the fees, and everything else. “Oh, I wouldn’t go as far as that,” put in Bart. “I’ll say;not,” said Johm “That’s all apple butter, Ajax. You don’t know the first thing about it when you make a crack like that.” “The hech I don’t.” “No—the heck you don't. You’re as wet as an Oregon April. You just growl on general principles—that’s all. .WJiy, you get value received tor every eent of your student body tax—that is, if you , use what it buys you. And even if you didn’t you overlook the faet that the stu dents voted it them- i selves—every eent of it.’’ “I didn’t have any “Bart” thing to say about it,” said Ajax. ‘‘No—and ypu probably wouldn’t even take enough interest to vote if the thing came up toifay. Every penyy of that money is disbursed oil the order of the student body of ficers.” ‘‘Well, what’s that got to do with the price of text books?” said Crum, who resented being left out of the argument. ‘ ‘ Nothing—necessarily, ’ ’ answered John. ‘‘Only Ajax tried to make the University responsible—that’s all.” ‘‘II. ain't only text books,” inter jected .Crum, ‘‘it's everything else —note books and paper and athletic stuff and all the rest of it. It’s strong-arm stuff—-that’s what it is.” ‘‘Well,” answered Johnny, “you don’t have to buy anything there— except textbooks, do you? But say —we’re chewing a lot of rag here, and none of us know what we’re talk ing about—really. You fellows have kind of got me interested in this thing, anyhow. What do you say we look into it?” “Yeah — a senate investigating committee foe the campus Teapot Dome,” said Ajax. “Well, that’s all right. I’m will ing to put in a little time on it. I ought to know, more about it than I do, anyway. All of us ought to. It’s a Co-operative store, isn’t it? “.Yes—they co-operate to hold us up”—from Crum. “Forget that stuff, Crum. You make me sick. You’re just a belly acher. You’re like the Irish Democrat —always agin’ the government. What 1 want to do is to find out. What do you say, Bart — are you with me?” “ Well,” said Bart, “I’ll put iu my time with yours, John. It might be interesting^ at that.” “Okey—and we’ll spill the dope as soon as we get it.” “Johnny” Next Blast in Tuesday’s Emerald. U^O CO-OP U"'OCO*OP
