W^hile students are crying ‘“Freedom” and “Radicalism” it would be well
to see towards whom those cries are directed. Usually factulty, methods of
teaching, and conservative • customs suffer from these outbursts, but it is
possible th-\t more lasting good and greater innovations would be wrought
shoj.'a those remarks be turned towards the self-made chains which bind the
student. , j
In the first place, the majority of students are slaves to the opinions of |
the faculty. No broad-minded instructor will require or even wish that |
opinions of those whom he teaches coincide with his own. The instructor
strives to make the others think for themselves; the student, on the other
hand, cringes and bows before the things he believes the teacher to like. He
takes the part of a mental slave and makes of the instructor an unwilling
taskmaster—a procedure both unfair and debasing.
This state of affairs is partly due to the desire for marks. Many a
student believes that if teacher likes him he will get a good mark, but if
some member of the faculty is “against” him, he will fail. Theoretically he
takes a coursre because he wants to obtain from it all that he can, he studies;
late in order to profit as much as possible; but, actually, the average student
works either because of ambitions for high grades or through fear of low
ones. Whether or not grades are a fair test is a mooted question; whether
or not a student should work for grades alone can be unquestioned. Yet
many are they who insult their own self respect and aleniate their instructors
by gliding deceitfully in the shadow of the opinions of others. Colleges are
supposed to develop thinkers and leaders, not spineless followers.
FOOTBALL EXACTS HEAVY PENALTY.
On Saturday afternoon foot ball again took its toll in broken bones and
in destruction of human life. The Winston-Salem High School paid dearly
for the game which was played against Charlotte—a game which was a fair,
clean one but which, nevertheless, through no one’s fault, had dire results.
Leo Caldwell was a boy of whom any school might well be proud; he
gladly gave his all, and followed his own last instructions to “fight to the
last breath.” The spirit of that sacrifice was one worthy of pride it spoke
of the loyalty, love, and enthusiasm towards the things for which he fought,
but the sacrifice itself was useless. The pleasure which many years of foot
ball can give to numerous spectators can never atone for the loss of one life.
Football is a game which the players enjoy to the utmost, and one which
outsiders thrill to view, but so long as the rules permit opportunity for the
many serious injuries which constantly occur, it should be abolished. An
accident similar to that which occurred Saturday afternoon may not happen
in one season, in five, or ten; but since such things do happen, improvements
in this fascinating but dangerous sport, should be demanded, and this demand
must come from the college and high school students themselves.
