letter to the editors (1page)
Dear Editor
I don't think i want to be sending my children to school anymore, knowing that they will be teaching them theories that go against the Bible, and giving them the icy mitt. I believe that the governor of Tennessee should get that bimbo John Scopes executed, although i'm still happy the governor has made it unlawful to teach things such as evolution in our schools. I was proud and happy to see the publicity this subject brought upon our beautiful town of Dayton. There was over 1000 people jammed in the courtroom with 300 standing. There was an estimated 5000 people out side selling lemonade and expressing their opinions. I was also proud to see the many anti-evolution speakers that came to show their opinions on evolution. I was proud to see that we had much support, and that we still have hope for bringing our nation to a christian society of God again.

World By: Gregory Redmond August 25,1921- The US hasn’t ratified the treaty of versailles: Us and German representatives meet in Berlin.They then sign a peace treaty, recognizing the end of World War I. Germany accepted the treaty, there were three things the US asked for. Article 1 said the German government would grant US all rights and privileges enjoyed by other allied powers, who had ratified the treaty in Paris. Article 2 said which articles of versailles treaty apply to US. Article 3 provided for exchange of ratification in Berlin Dawes Plan- Charles G.

Youth vs Adults
Dear Editor, After reading this Magazine I have some ideas to make another one of the time but the 1930s but first we need to talk about the 1920s. It was time of good and bad from 1920 to 1930s. I personally support the adults because youths are trying to grow up to quickly to become adults . Youth are trying to find jobs so they can be mini adults. Adults are making kids go to school and get jobs and make them work hard. Youth are going to dances with adults. if i date a girl we would have to sit on the front porch so are parents could watch us. then if months pass me and then they would lets us in the house and have dinner with them. Many youth girls are trying to find jobs but it's hard because girl adults rarely have jobs because men only have jobs well a girl i know has kinda of a good job. So overall youths are growing up to fast and we are trying to get jobs to soon.

Society
In the 1920s there was a lot of intolerance towards the different racial and religious immigrants coming to America. Many of the immigrants were starting to come from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Asia. There was a lot of discrimination toward the Japanese in the west coast. After WW1 Immigration laws were enforced which limited the amount of immigrants coming from non protestant countries, and Asia. Therefor the amount of immigrants entering America decreased by 50 percent. Jewish Americans also fell victim to intolerance. Landlords refused to rent to jews. Henry Ford put anti-semitic articles in magazines. Harvard University limited amount of jews enrolled.
A group that thrived and grew to power in the 20’s was the KKK. The KKK is a radical christian group, their symbol was to put big crosses on fire. They were called wizards and robes because of the way they dressed with a long pointy tall cone shaped hats and long white robes. Their motive is to go against all races and religions other than white and protestant Christians, and sometime lynched and murdered other races. They mostly focus on African Americans because their skin color appealed the most to them, and the KKK wanted an all white all Christian Nation. The 20’s were also innovative times, where the Model A by Ford was a major seller, over 3 million cars were sold, and the automobile industry had become the biggest business in the nation. Airports also steadily started spreading across the country. Airplanes became a big thing in the 20’ s. People called Barnstormers were airplane stunts men who performed.
Harlem Renaissance The Harlem Renaissance refers to a period, primarily during the 1920’s and 30’s African American literature, music, and other arts flourish. This movement is centered in Harlem, New York which is a neighborhood north of Manhattan, then spread throughout the country. The Great Migration is what brought thousands of African Americans to Harlem. In 1920 150,000 African Americans lived in America, Harlem seems like a Mecca. Causes of the Great Migration is African Americans are allowed few good job opportunities. African Americans lived in miserable isolated houses, and racism and discrimination in the south also causes them to Migrate north. Langston Hughes, a poet in the Harlem Renaissance. Speaks out and talks about America and its morals.Langston and other poets are a powerful symbol for African Americans and how they feel. He also talks about his life as a child and growing up. He shows African Americans to love what they have, he shows love for the streets. Hughes
is one of the most important writers of the Harlem Renaissance. His poetry shows love for black culture and life. He is the mouth and words for African Americans.
The surrealist movement was a good movement. When it began in post World War I the surrealists were an out of this world group of people that were creative and they made this movement that made me and everyone happy. Maxfield Parrish was famous for his paintings and creative mind. Coles Phillips work was very popular in the twenties and is still sought after by collectors today. When I first saw their art I was shocked and surprised on how talented they were.
After Cole died in 1927 we made a whole room full of his art. Parrish and Cole were working on a painting togethter but they never got to finish it I would have been happy to see how it would have turned out.
It’s the 1920s also known as the jazz age, jazz is not a completely new musical form but because of it’s exuberant rhythms and sounds it has become associated with wild and carefree living, which would lead it to be called the jazz age. During the jazz age there is famous jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong he is the greatest cornet and trumpet player ever, his recording with the hot 5 is one of his milestone performances in the history of American Jazz, Armstrong is also an innovative vocalist he even sings solo on many of his records. Another great jazz musician of our time is George Gershwin with the brother era (1896-1983) writing lyrics, George Gershwin provided the world with a treasure trove of beloved songs.
