are interested in. The staff much regrets its inability to publish a spring number, but we intend to make up on it by publishing a paper representing the whole school. Each student realizes the expense of such an undertaking, and the able support that is needed to carry it out. The former is not possible, unless the latter is in evidence. The students of this institution of learning possess excellent school spirit, especially those of the Upper Classes and the Staff wishes to heartily thank them for the able support extended towards the paper. By some oversight the short story, “Trials of a Watch” signed Charlie Johnson, which appeared in the winter issue of this paper, failed to have the name of Mark Twain attached to it. Mr. Johnson had laid aside extra credit for the talented humorist by inserting after the title line, “With Cyrologies to Mark Twain.” However, by some mis¬ take the phrase failed to appear in print, much to the discomfort of the contributor, Staff and faculty. However a lesson may be obtained from this incident. Contributors and editors alike can not be too care¬ ful in the matter of placing a due credit where it rightfully belongs. How easy it is for young pupils in preparing composition work, or an article for the paper, to appropriate without due credit to the rightful author, word for word the language of some well written article bearing upon his theme! The same pupil would not think of approp¬ riating to his own use anything else which did not belong to him; that would be theft. Little does he think when he uses the words of an¬ other as his own that he is committing theft—plagiarism, which is morally as wrong as any other kind of theft. Often we learn of pupils being suspended or expelled from the higher institutions for the offense of plagiarism. The disgrace brought upon an institution by such an offense is not easily obliterated. Pupils in their high school courses should be taught the folly of such offences and should heed their teach¬ ing. If this were done there would be no necessity for overcoming the habit in later years. The pupils of the Astoria High School have had strict training along this line and we believe will not commit the offense of plagiarism in the future.
