PATRIOTISM . . . That, my friends, j
s a word which has been in the En- i
dish language since Mr. Webster
loinpiicd his dictionary.
Now that wo know something about!
he history of the word, let us pry}
nto the meaning of it. We think of;
Patriotism as pertaining to a nation's
lonor, the protection of the ideals of
i nation's inhabitants. So why not
inply the word to school spirit, to edicationa!
relationships? Every stulent
should take a certain pride and
nto rest in the institution thai is givr.g
him or her an education, the in tilulion
thai stands for high ideals
ind good examples for its students;
vhy not accept with order and cnhusiasm
the opportunities which are
iaily being set before us?
There is a good side to every quesion,
a different angle which .night
hrow an altogether different light
>n the situation. When men go off to
l*ar fiohJ- frtr
all that patriotism. Today as millions
>f boys and girls, young men and
oung women go marching daily to
ichools and colleges seeking an edufor
the betterment of themselves
and for mankind, is this not
patriotism ? This business of protectrvglcteais
and ruture posterity is just
is patriotic as going to war for maerial
gain. This habit of going to
chool for our betterment is just as
atriotic, as anything connected with
ationa! honor or ideals.
So why not face the task of getting
n education which is after all for our
enefit. with enthusiasm and patriotim,
and not with pessimism and sarastic
criticism ?
Without ideals, the people of this
orid would be a howling, disorgan:ed
mass of humanity Rverv man,
oman and child must recognize lead's
in the cultured world, not as sujriors
but as human beings to whom
ley may go for advice and consolaon.
In summary, we all should face our
roblems as we come upon them and

CHAPEL PROGRAM
1 The entire student body of the high l
school was highly entertained in the
chapel assembly by the student teachers
of the A. S. T. C. on last Saturday
morning.
As usual the house was called to
order by the president of the student
body, who immediately turned the
program over to the student teachers.
The first number on their program
was a very beneficial talk by Mr. Horton.
Then Mr. Dotson introduced the
featured speaker of the hour, Dr. B.
B. Dougherty. Dr. Dougherty's talk
came as rather a pleasant surprise
|to the students who snowed their ap
Ipreciation of Dr. Dougherty's dis!
course on the subject of "What You
Are to Be" by vigorous applause.
Following this talk Miss Polly Hobson
gave a very humorous account
of a negro sermon.
The student teachers haven't been
around the high school this long without
finding out that their scholars
like music and so a couple of harmonious
vocal numbers were rendered by
Messrs. Perry, Spavins and Steer.
All that is needed on a program
of this kind is a good master of ceremonies
and as none other than our
one and only Bob Swan filled this
capacity, the program was complete
and all enjoyed a fine time.

Friday honoring the birthday of her
