ATHLETICS AND i ( HOOLS Coach Gallop < i l’iedm mt High School; w! v I i, know personallv. i-'the • ort: of athletic coach that appeals to us. He ha* written tv < refreshing articles to Th ■ Star with rritr ence to athletic- ami * ducat in i, the last one containing the n > Vile statement.” If a.young rr.a has the idea of going t > school only to develop a winning team, to receive for himeslf the hon or of being on a team that has won championship -.honors, with little self-respect and no idea of l developing mentally and morally * that man will soon reach the * end of the rope." Athletics in schools is fine 4 3r I but there is dan tier ot Us Doing over-emphasized. It is a fine thing to have a strong body, but it is also important to have good morals and a well trained mind and we admire the athlete who combines these qualifica ons. But the fellow who develops his animal strength and allows lbs moral and his intellectual devel opment to sink to that of a beast is nothing more than a * brute. On the other hand it i magnifieient sight to beh >’d a strong athlete with high ideals, strong courage, keen intd’oet. superb morals and a keen con science that differentiates be tween right and wrong. COURAGE TO SI K IDE? North Carolina at the pre sent pace may soon be known as the suicide state. Mixing an tomobilc carelessness with the actual and intentional lift-tak ing now going on, the record cannot be far ahead. The general impression is that it is cowardly t> comm.t suicide, but the 1 xingtm Dis patch offers a new thought in that it takes s ome un* xnlain ; able sort of courage to kill one's self. Then the thought is added that a little dec 1 of kindness " and a friendly vrnr ! r.t : s iv< some one on the b irot • - ■ ing the darkness. Says live: ids pritcn: The mayor of one North f urn: n.t town, the thief o' polio < r a t >• * r and perhaps others w H I • • i their commynities- a: h- I •• ' >' the recent sit t ides. I’t . h,-: it acts of self destfuc*'. on have led .-muay to assert that it \va< lack of courage that furnished the cau in ea h in stance. This may be a tru • taten.en* of fact in so far as it goes. Hut the causes of suicide go deeper than this Courage itself is not an inherent possession of all men nor even of all • women. Many must at ;Uire * rough . effort * that amount s to torture. * Otherc are hot so forf maU- a- to “ have that gra n of endurance upon which to build. No matt desires to be a coward so those who art* lack ng in * natural courage are t*> be pith’d. While we often attribute suicide to * ' lack of courage to stand up and give | battle to adversity; upon examining more closely we might find that the very thing we accuse some suicides t of it what prevents others from tak 6‘ ing their lives. It lakes an unexplain | able sort of courage for a person to take his or her own life. In fact, it would seem to take that sort of cour k, age that is separate and apart from * * reason. Especially is this true in the k case of healthy, vigorous person. In « such cases it would appear that the shadows of adversity simply fall j across the windows of the* mind and it thick darkness shuts out the light of hope, of rcasonutg, ami the courage * to live is smothered out and in its * place comes the courage of despera ,• V tion that opens the door to oblivion. Again it might not b-3 vaH iinag ' ining to presume that a part of the ’ fault of suicide rests upon those .who associate with the victim. A word of * kindness in a moment of despond ency; a little reassurance .vhon evoi .’ thing seems wrong might sometimes forestall tragedy that linger-:, that leaves a shadow *hat requires many auns to consume.
