The purpose is to save do'ibrs lor retail stores by making sales r.o slips so plain and clear that mistake can be made. If a department store ever sent you a "skirt" instead of a "shirt." you know the value of plain writing. The girl in her early 20's is Madeline Rose Hosmer Brenner, iid she's from Atlanta. The systern of writing or rather, was started by her mothFlint Hosmer. She Madeline er, developed her system of teaching while with the Atlanta division of ihe university system of Georgia.

This new school is an emergency need. The past year the children of this area have been crowded into Lincoln school and Box Elder high school, detracting seriously from the educational program of the students of all three schools. These youngsters, and two-stor- more coming on, desperately need this new building, and it is our responsibility as citizens of Box Elder disschool, Lincoln trict to prrovide it. A twelve-room school would have been filled with its own 412 pupils. There are 501 pupils, first through sixth grades, in the Central school area.

We feel that it is more than this. A beautiful print-writin- ago." That same simplicity amazed the daughter when she started writing .a booklet on the subject at the end of the war.
