EDITORIAL Samuel A. Pence. y T C IOOLS today are different from what they were Avhen our fatiicrs: went to school, judging from the hearsays we receive. The v:hooIs-. as told about by our fathers, were rude and impracti:al. The building irj v, ' hi::h school was held was made of logs and mud. What would happen if we would have to go to school in the same kind of buildings in vvdiich they v-erc taught? Fuppose we had rone to school for eight years in a modern school building and then we were changtd and placed in one of those log ;l-, ol houses, what wculd happ ' cn? Answer that for yourself. Then there- is an. improvement in the building. An.othtr improvement is in the methods of teaching. In the earlv da s, ' .e are told, the school master was guarded by a ' big, heavy, birch rod and a long, slim, pointed, dunce cap, but now he is fortified by the good will and hiyalty of the pupils. W ' c can also remember that not long ago Dont ' s were used profusely. As we pupils entered the school room, a large, staring an(l glaring DOX T was the first word w e read upon the board. It was the first word that we heard the first day we entered a school room. As wt can recall, this drm ' t was followed by a great number of articles stating whcit we could not do. In fact, l)y so many that we hardlv knew wdiat wc cinld do. IJut now as we enter the school room we see the DOX ' T has, been erased and with it went the restrictions, and in its place we see, DO KlTiHT. If this is not a sign of improvement, there is no such word in the dictionary.

OUR BOYS O muse, inspire my lips with pra:s3 As I reflect on virtues seen So plainly — as their heads they raise — Our own dear boys of seventeen. Twenty-two Freshmen, perfect all, In the play of life will soon appear; Each possessing a fortliead tall — Each filling his place without a fear. Boys of whom we ' re justly proud. Of whom trite sayings are not allowed: For whom we ' ll fight and honor too — Yes, boys, we ' re truly proud of you.
