It is best, therefore, to judge school spirit by the way in which it manifests itself in the acts of individuals and of groups. During the XVorld XYar there were many who shouted long and loud proclaiming to all who had ears to hear how patriotic they were. But when the call for active service came through demands for money or personal enlist- ment, these same shouting patriots crept under cover of every conceivable kind of excuse to avoid active SERVICE for their country. Patriotism consists of more than boasting and loud shouting. It requires also DOING. And so also with school spirit. The test of school spirit is not how much lung-power one possesses, but how much doing-power. VVe cannot think of school spirit apart from the aims of high school edu- cation, for it is only to serve the ends of education that we are interested in school spirit. Broadly stated, the aim of education is to develop in boys and girls knowl- edge, interests, attitudes. habits and ideals which will make them happy, use- ful and worthy members of a community. All the activities of school which contribute to that end ought to be encouraged and actively and enthus- iastically supported by all students and teachersg and any interest, act or activity which does not so contribute ought to be denounced and rightiheartily condemned. An ATTITUDE of mind which compels an individual to respond encouragingly or denouncingly, as the case may require, by his acts and actions, HAS the right kind of school spirit, for he is in harmony with the IDEALS that the best minds of all times have set as valid standards. And one whose ATTITUDE of mind does not compel him so to encourage and condemn, as the case may require, HAS NOT the right kind of school spirit, and is out of harmony with the IDEALS that the best minds of all time have set as valid standards. The former has vision which commends him as a prospective citizen of fine character and rich promise. The latter has not such vision and gives no such promise. It is thus seen that school spirit is nothing more than a right ATTI- TUDE of MIND in ACTION. Attitude of mind is important, very impor- tant. But attitude alone is not sufficient. Attitude must be followed by action. Attitude must COMPEI, action. Then school spirit will be present and strong. It is our hope that the members of the class of 1927 may have caught this broader vision of school spirit. and that that spirit may serve as an inspira- tion and example in the SCHOOL of LIFE. C. I..
