So let us give "a word to the wise". ■ If a student comes to school to learn, he should bring v.'ith him the articles necessary for his learning® The first symptoms of the borrowing habit are the borrov/ing of a pencil or some paper. Next the student ventures to borrow a pen and then probably a bool-c, but he soon finds he can not borrow his school mate's mind on an examinition* Neither will he be able to borrov/ a house or business position in later years© A student should use "Bu Prepared” as his slogan, for the borrov/ing habit will put him at a total loss in the time of a necessity. Let’s take Shakespeare’s advice: ’’Neither a borrov/er nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friends, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.” j|c sk 5^ STUBEITT MORALE IN THE ALBSJvIARLE HIGH SCHOOL There is a v/hole catalogue of virtues and moral elements which the school must seek to establish and strengthen in its pupils. Perhaps the most of them are secured through instruc tion, recitation, study of lessons, personal examples of the teacher,^chapel exercises, playground activities, and many other ways. Discipline is popularly regarded as keeping order, or eliminating outward disorder and compelling obedience to the rules and regulations of the school and of the teacher in parti~ ' cular, This^is not a very high conception of the term discipline, but it maj^ rightly be regarded as the first step towards the goal which every teacher must keep in mind. Students have little chance to learn and no training can be made very effective in a class room where lav/lessness and chaos reign. Confusion, dis order, and disobedience are not conducive to a good school, 'They interfere with the successful accomplishment of every lesson, whatever its^ aim; but more than that, they are factors v/hich constitute the very antithesis of the moral ideas, ideals, and habits which the school should constantly strive to build up in its pupils a I ljr glad to say that, in my opinion, the morale in the Albemarle High School has reached the point where there is room for considerable favorable comment. Personally, I am delighted with the attitude that the c.verage student of our sch&ol assumes in matters of discipline, formation of desirable habits, moral ideals, etc.
