ESSAY WRITING

Teaching essav writing should not be considered as a task in itself but should be planned to coordin- ate with the immediate activities o! school routine. It should hello. too. to construct the foundation for richer and fuller living.

A background of comprehensive reading is necessaary for an appre- ciation of essay writing. A good way m interest students in this form of literature is to introduce them irst to writers such as Clarence

y. Le . Ogden Nash. and other humorists. Prom the lighter types the class can be led to consid- ei‘ religion, politics. and social pro-

Students must be encouraged read newspapers and magazines. to analyse speeches. editorials. de- bates. and broadcasts and to think critically. and always the develop- ment and significance of the indi- vidual. and the spirit of freedom. must be emphasized.

If English is to be a living course. the curriculum must not be fo alized. ‘It must be dynamic. flex- ible. arid growing. as too much form and structure will smother the creative spark. The teacher

JAPANESE BEETLE

These beetles with their gorgeous armour of green and bronze attack gardens. orchards and fields. This

etle begins its depredations in June or July. They eatl the leaves and fruit of many cultivated plants including raspberries. blackberries. apples. cherries. corn. red clover. roses. olms. birches and oaks. When they have eaten all they need. they lay tinv white eggs in the earth. _Whel1 the grubs hatch they eat mots. This does much damage to lawns during the late summer. They spend the winter under- gtround passing through the pupa s a e.

elr native land is Japan.

ere they are not a pest because they have natural parasites that prey upcun them. and because the Japanese practice such intensive cultivation. but in America they are a serious‘ pcst, costing the farmers and gardeners much mon-i ey by theft-destruction. A few of

them were found in United States in 1916. They became such a pest that the Department cf Agricul- ture in the United States. after study of their life his- tory, began to look for some natur- al enemies to help extemlinate them. One of these enemies. which was found and introduced into these infested areas. is n two wing- ed fly and two others are wasps. These insects lav their eggs in or on the bodies of the beetles, and the larvae that hatch out of the figs eat the beetles and destroy em.

Farmers and gardeners are us- ing preparticns of arsenate of lead which are spread on lawns during the egg laying season to kill the grubs as they hatch. Sprays usczl on the foliage do not seem to do much good. because the full-grown

etles w‘l1 not eat unusual sub- stance. T is cf course will save the plants that are sprayed but, it does not destroy the beetles.
