The most important thing in Amer- Mca today is the program for the de- Jgjfeilse of the Democracies. Each infliividual has his pet theories as to iow this can best be accomplished, t all are agreed that the important ilements of Democratic governments t be preserved and protected. One if the most important characteristics the American Democratic way of :e is the right to an education by children of all peoples. Defend Education The great American institution of Education is about to open for another J}re*r. Each of us must defend that lean privilege and each of us urge our American youth to take tage of the privilege of edueaon. Too often one finds parents and stuts of the opinion that they have lied their American duty when and the children of the family attend ool regularly. It seems to the iter that this is only the beginning the duties of each American parent, second duty lies in seeing that each jjdkfld receives the best education whkh Jhis community is capable of giving. •£f In our grade schools this duty is rTlMjcomplished by seeing that the child , 'Jfetot only attend^ school regularly, but j. ^lso that he applies himself to his sub- : .Sects while in school. In our American high school, an* ier function which the parent must rform is to guide his child in the action of the course or courses the child shall take. Many stu. tents select courses for two reasons: rst, the course is easy and second, le course is taught by a popular teacher. Neither reason is sound. A '\.r~" Iketter pair of reasons would be: first, ^|tbe course will prepare for the task ' . the student expects to follow later in 'w.. >'fife, and, second, the course will teach !~~ ^he student to think. ' Upon this logic the following outa _ line of the high school course of j£udies is made. It is hoped that it T^lrill assist students and parents in • : Selecting the subjects for this school ~-"#sar. r:t. p Plan Yew Program Students who plan to attend college " should take four years of English, two years of a foreign language, three ,;4.T^sars of history, two years of a lab- '^ratory science and thrae yi»r» ef ^-^^•athematics.

Students who have had good V * 1 fcrades in English and grammar should take Latin. Others should take Com- ^ gnunity Civics. ,r Introduce Agricalture fe". f The new subject introduced this f. y Mar is agriculture. It is advisable that every farm boy take this subject SThis is equally good for those boysfrbo do plan to follow one of the pro- ^ : Sessions. It should be remembered j*4 that most of the local students, both „> #ity and rural, will live in a rural com- I ^ launity when they have been gradu- -"#ted. It is therefore important that ,#ach high school boy, whether from the country or town, consider taking ^'#griculture. A small town business ^nan must kn^w rural life and «ural -problems if he expects to serve his rural trade successfully. • Stenography is a specialized subject And should be taken by those who plan |o do office work as a life's profession. Office jobs offer a real opportunity for girls at the present time. Stenography is purely vocational, bookkeeping is valuable for all who •re not taking a college preparatory •oijrge. The lyy.1 achpul advises that it be taken during the senior year. Also, every student should take a year pf typing. The local school does not give credit for this subject, but typewriting is so essential to everyday adult life that it is advisable that students take one year of typing eitheir during their junior or senior year. Courses for Nurses Girls who plan to go into the field of nursing are advised to follow the standard college entrance course. Too, they should be certain to take biology and chemistry.

It teaches the essentials Qf health hygiene and first aid needed by every adult girl. Boys who like mechanical work of any type and who do not plan to attend college are advised to take one or two years of the trades course. This is taught as a junior and senior subject. The course has two purposes. Its primary purpose is to prepare students to enter some one of the building trades. The course, however, has a secondary purpose in preparing a boy to do the common tasks about his home. Every adult bey needs this knowledge. Theory of musfe is the last subject to be discussed. This subject is given to supplement the vocal and instrumental instruction offered. It should be studied by every music student who is really interested in music. It is especially important to those who plan to follow music as a profession. One final note need be sounded to make this discussion fairly complete. Urge your boy or girl to participate in several extra-curricular activities. The life of every school lies in its activities. . Your boy or girl needs to take a special interest in football, tennis, basketball, hockey, golf, track, volley ball, ping pong, band, orchestra, chorus or ensemble groups or dramatic work. In one of these fields he will find that he excels, and success in some one field helps to develop the proper spirit to meet adult problems.

After his return home he again took up his profession, being associated with his father, the late David R. Joslyn, Sr., under the firm name of Joslyn and m*. A. J. Surratt, federal - state erop statistician, recently predicted an Illinois corn crop of 373,723,000 bushels, a twelve per cent increase over last year and a aixteen per cent increase over the 19S0-M average. Wheat and oats, Surratt said in liis monthly crop report, will fall below last year's production, but will exceed the ten-year average. A winter wheat harvest of 37,- 474,000 bushels was expected, compared to 30,555,000 bushels last year. The oat yield was estimated at 144,- 102 000 bushels while 1940 production was 152,496,000 bushels. Basing his report on August 1 conditions, Surratt said corn will yield forty-nine bushels per acre this year. Forty-four bushels was last year's yield and the ten-year average wae 36.2. Although rainfall was one-half to two inches l^low normal id July, he said, development of corn is further along than usual this season. Early corn is holding up better than late corn. Hybrid corn Is growirig in eighty, five to ninety per cent of the state's corn aereage. He estimated the winter wheat yield at 20.5 bushels per acre less than the 22.5 bushels yield in 1940, but more than the 1980 - 39 average of eighteen bushels. Only in extreme southern and southeastern Illinois were yields greater than last year. The outlook was for a record crop of soybeans, apples, peaches, and pears, Surratt reported. Apple production has nearly doubled with 3 872,000 bushels predicted this year compared to 1.876,000 last year. The peach crop after an "off year" production in 1940 of 200,000 bushels will increase more than tenfold to 2 254,000.

SLEEPING 8ICKNE88 fi&EAXS OUT AMOU* ^ HORSES IN COUNTY CHICAGO MAN DROWNED AT WONDER LAKE BSB01SH AGOOMPAMIKS TRAGEDY After he had spent seventy continuous hours dragging Wonder Lake for the body of Stanley R. Zielinski, 28 year old Chicagoan who drowned last Thursday afternoon, Jerry Kubovy of Wonder Lake was acclaimed as a hero early Sunday morning when he finally located the body. Kubovy attended the inquest which was held Sunday afternoon at the Peter M. Justen funeral home in West McHenry and related his story in a modest manner to the coroner. Walter Zielinski, Jr., who was with his uncle when he drowned, was also present at the inquest. This was the first drowning this year at Wonder Lake and the third in McHenry county this season. The tragedy occurred at about 4:10 last Thursday afternoon as Stanley and his nephew, Walter, 18, had boarded a sail boat, sailed to the far end of the lake and were returning across the choppy lake when the boat slowly capsized. Stanley had prewarded the younger boy to "take ahold of the rudder if anything happens." Thrown Clear of Boat When the boat capsized the two were thrown clear of the boat; and the uncle shouted again to Walter that he should get to the boat and hold on to the rudder. This was impossible however, as the boat drifted away from the two men. A brief conversation transpired between the two men, during which both made an attempt to save the other. Walter told of how his uncle slipped from his back and went down for the first time. He was then able to take hold of his uncle's hair as he went down for the second time, however, but the older man could do nothing and as he sank he pulled the 18-year youth with him. Finally the nephew was forced to let go. His uncle never emerged from the waters and Walter was successful in reaching the boat. By this time an alarm had reached Jerry Kubovy. He rushed to the scene in a motor boat and succeeded in saving Walter Zielinski just as he was going down the second time. This is the story Walter told of the tragedy. Tells of Search Jerry Kubovy told of hii determination of locating the body after talking with the victim's family. He told the family, "I'm going out to find him and I won't be back until I do." Jerry only returned to shore to change wet clothing and for food from Thursday until Sunday. He dragged the lake with grab hooks, finally locating the body early Sunday morning. His story was told in a straight forward manner. The victim of the lake tragedy, who was unmarried, resided at 1014 North Mozart street, Chicago. He was enjoying a short vacation from his work with a furniture company. The funeral was held Tuesday in-Chicago with burial in St. Adelbert's cemetery, Niles. 230,391 WAK&AKTS ARE REQUIRED n» JULY'S . EXPENSES m STATE •?'
