EDITORIAL The negro minstrel given by the college athletic association was a great success as is evidenced by the fact that everyone "cusses" or dis cusses it. Only a few take part in the former pastime. * * * Those who were assuming that Coach Doak's team was a weak one guessed wrong. * * * The Y. W. C. A. play is always one of the most appreciated enter tainments of the whole year. Every student should attend this play. * * * Something for College Students to Think About A few days ago thei*e appeared an article in a college magazine on the subject of Better Spoken English among College Students. The writer wishes to pass on some of the ideas the article conveyed, to Guilfordians. Better spoken English on our cam pus seems to be a very great need. We no longer think the old adage "Actions speak louder than words," holds good in every case; for the real character and refinement of a person are revealed nowhere so clear ly as in his or her speech. Many stu dents do not realize this fact. If we stop to think for a moment we will realize that the average college lan guage is not what it should be. In many cases the person knows the correct form, but either carelessness or the desire to be witty causes the student to use a slangf expression, when a sentence of good English would express the meaning much mere definitely. It is really alarming to note the great amount of slang and incorrect speech the everage college student uses. It is almcst a daily occurrence to hear the use of a singular subject and a plural verb, or vice versa, and quite often one hears the personal pronouns misused. It is important that the student improve his speech, and there are no reasons why he should use slang and incorrect language Every one should express his thoughts in pure English. The world does not generally judge a person by what he knews, but by what he says. No one cares to listen to a speaker who does not have a good vocabulary. What right have we to expect others to find our con versation interesting if we do not use good language? We, the college students of today, are the men and women, of tomorrow and to us will the less fortunate ones look for a standard. Can we hold the high place we have been given if we fail to use pure English to express our plans, our hopes, our ideals ? Nowhere can we learn more of pure English than from reading the master English writers. Then we may learn to speak correctly by ap plying ourselves to study. Perhaps Ithe best way to improve our lan guage is by association with educa ted people. It is while in their pres ence that we feel the real worth of correct English. If we could only realize the necessity and importance of correctly spoken English, we would put forth our best efforts to make the English used by the stu dents of today a standard for the students of tomorrow. NEW GARDEN SUNDAY SCHOOL REORGANIZED The New Garden Sunday School has been doing good work during the past few months. It has been re organized and this month it is com pleting the plans in the program of the new organization, which were ar ranged so that the month of Febru ary should be given to standardizing the school, the month of March to the Prayer League, and the month of April to canvassing for additional enrollment. Charles Lambeth of the class of 'l6 who is superintendent of the school is doing some very interesting work tin building up the attendance. It is the aim of the school to enroll every member of the local church and to secure from them serious study. Sev eral of the college students will as sist in the drive which began on April first and lasts throughout the month. The organization of the work was completed at a supper at New Garden Hall on Thursday evening.
