HaVE YOU TaLEnT?
Shades of Daniel Webster, the grect
Colgoun, Huey Long, or what have you?
That's the question, Milnites, whet
have you ------- in the line of oratory?
Once more comes the time when the
faculty cre discussing the proposition of
prize-specking in Milne Junior High.
There are few things which are as valuablda
to you in after life «s an ability to ex-
press yourself in good English and with
poise and fino delivery. If you learn
this in school, it will help you all
through your business and personal con-
tacts, So, we have prize-speaking in
Milne. Often it seems too much troublé
to prepare a piece or talk, but think of
the reward! Although we shrink from the
thought, it is one of the things which
all schools should have to fit its stu-
dents for future life. If we have prize-
speaking this year, let's take it serious
ly. It will alw.ys be a benefit te you.
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
Do you wish tc read a good book?
What's the matter with "The Count of
Mente Cristo?" This interesting book
was written by Dumas. The picture wus
vhce dramatized in the "movies." It
takes a long time to read, but when you
finish, you'll cffirm the opinion that it
is worth all the time you spent on it.
The book contains adventure, romance, mys
tery, and real life. Read the story of
Edmund Dantes who through no fault of his
own, was imprisoned in a dungeon for fours
teen long years. Through some clever
tricks he managed to escape and lived for
the purpose of gaining revenge from the
three men who betrayed him!
