There will he comparatively few
new classes this semester as a result of the fact that there is room
for very few extra subjects without
enlarging the teaching force. The;
two exceptions are commercial geography, which follows commercial law
and public speaking, which is an entirely new subject in the local high
school, but is studied in many other
schools, both large and small throughout the state. The practical everyday value of the- two subjects might
be a subject for debate by the general public or the first impression
might he that ,the public speaking* is
of little or no practical value hut the
concensus of opinion, among schoo"
men is that public speaking has a relatively higher value, potentially, than
almost any other subject in high
school. This may or may not be a
correct opinion, but few will dispute
that the ability to speak clearly and
forcefully is of great practical value.
Mr. Starring, a college trained debater, and- speaker, will handle the
public speaking and great things are
hoped for from the class, while Mr
Jewell will teach commercial and economic geography. The total enrollment in the two classes will be about
thirty-(people and more may be added
within the next few days.
There is a strong possibility of a
small' class doing 'mechanical drawing and lettering this semester, also,
but this, is not yet a certainty so
more cannot be said of it at present.
The urgent need for an •agricultural department is made :more and
more evident to the management .of
the school every .time a new semester
rolls round and' this semester end is
no exception. In the midst of as
fertile a farming country as lies under the blue slues of the Wolverine

During-, the  first  half   the   Salin
state,  Saline^ with its new Buil."aing,i^ys;took. ithe .leather-covered sphere
ought to have a Smith-Hughes agricultural department .second to non"
and benefiting and attracting a bunch
of the farm-bred boys from round
our village. This ought to be the
very next improvement in our schools
and the time to begin laying plans
for it is right now. If the Parent
Teachers Association wants a worthy
object upon which to expend its
energies, the object is lying ready to
their hand. Get busy, you P. T, A.
program makers,, and give out some
wholesale information as to costs,
values, practicability, etc. of the
whole Smith-Hughes movement, but
particularly with' regard to the agri
cultural end tof-it.
The only other change which was
tentatively talked over in the teacher's meeting was the practicability
of so changing the program so that
a period would be free at the end of
the day "during which the boys' glee
club could .work and also the high
school chorus, both of which have
been somewhat neglected up to- the
present time. No final decision was
reached on this, hut it is extremely
likely that a change will he made
this week. - ,      . .

Salisie Independents
Beaten By Tecumseh
Low Scoring Marks Friday
• Game on Opponent's
Floor.
Final  Count is  18 to  23  in. Hard-
fought Battle;" Deerfield
Next at Home.
Inability to cage baskets and Te-
cumseh's skill at keeping possession
of the ball were mainly responsible
for the downfall of the Saline'Independents,' at the' Tecumseh floor Friday evening, 22 to' 18.
down the floor repeatedly for whai
should have been easy shots, only to
miss . them with- Tecumseh gaining
'the ball under the backboard. Tecumseh worked a slow breaking offense that was effective in keeping
the hall in their hands. They had
possession of the ball three-quarters
of the game. During the last quar-
ter the Saline team took the .battle to
them and hroke up their tactics. By
this method they_ were able to seri
ously threaten the Tecumseh five, but
a couple of long swishers by Barber
put the game on ice,
The game started! with Saline in the
cold for the first few minutes of play
while Tecumseh scored a couple of
baskets. Estermyer then crashed
through for a tally,-but by half time
the Tecumseh iboys had a li to 8 ad
vantage. During the third period
the Saline defense tightened and
during the final* quarter they made
a mad spurt that might have meant
victory,, if it had not been for the
long shots sunk hy Banber.
Barber was .the hest for Tecumseh,
playing .a nice floor game and having
an uncanny eye. Estermyer was the
mainstay of Saline, with three field
goals and two free throws to his
credit. Lambarth played a good defensive game during the half he. was
in the fray. ' The battle was rough,
especially during the last quarter,
and a number of fouls were committed that? the referee did not call.
Last night the Independents- took
on the^Abbot Gas team from Ann-
Arbor and the second 'team played
the Blazing Arrows of the' University city. Tomorrow night they play
Dundee down there. The next home
game is on Wednesday, February •].

Before what wab probably the
largest crowd that has ever attended
a basketball game in Saline, the high
school lost to Milan Friday night, 11
to 27. There were approximately
400 at the "game and the spectators
filled the bleachers and the stage,
with a number of them standing on
the sidelines.
Milan was two baskets ahead at
the half when the score stood at t>
and 10, but during the second part
of the game they got away for e
number of field goals. Three mei
did all of the scoring for the Redb.
They were Smitii. Bruckner and
Aluk. The first is a center while the
other two are guards. The visiting
team used five different forward,
during the evening, but none of them
succeeded in caging a .basket.
Ernst was the high scorer foir Sa-
Iftie, getting eight points, but hi?
scoring was somewhat offset because
of the way his man got away from
him to sink five baskets. Edgar
Westphal played a nice game and got
the only other field goal besides the
four 'that Ernst caged. The*6ld Saline
difficulty of not having a good wording offense was present again wheD
the defense would get the ball but
the forward wall could not seem to
work dt into a scoring position. A
number of short shots were" attempted but when .the ball was under the-
basket the hoys had trouble in putting it through.
The second team lost 23 to 16 in a
hard-fought match. At the half the
score stood 7 and 9, but the Milan "preserves came through in- the second
half with a diversified attack with
all of the team scoring. Dieterle was»
the mainstay of Saline, sinking three
field goals. His Smallness is a handicap now, but during the coming seasons" he should' develop into a good
fonward.. Duane Rogers at guard*
played a good game and is another
man who should earn a place on the
first team next year.
Tomorrow the team will play Dundee at their floor. Both first and second teams will play.
