4 THE GREEN AND WHITE EDITORIALS f DON’T KNOCK The staff of the Green and White now offers you the 1921 edition of your school paper. Its success or failure is still precarious. The staff has done its part and now you must do yours. Don’t knock the school paper. There are some of you who mock the labors of others. Such a feeling is not only a menace to the school activities but to school spirit. Whether you know that the school paper is a success or a failure, always boost it to the best of your ability. If it is a success, make it a bigger one; if it is a failure, it depends upon you to make it a success. ‘‘If this paper pleases you, tell others; if not, tell us.” THE COLT MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL The pupils of the C. M. H. S. and, I might say, even a very great per cent, of the citizens of Bristol do not appreciate the beauty, splendor, and value of the Colt Memorial High School. I believe it is the duty of every pupil and of every citizen of the town of Bristol to watch out for the welfare of this school. If we would do so, the large expenditures which are necessary to keep such an elaborate building in condition would be decreased. Many small children use the grounds and balustrade of the High School as a playground. Their sport often causes the beauty of the building to depreciate and the balustrade is injured. The small amounts paid to repair such injuries often total to a sum of money which is “not to be laughed at.” If we would all co-operate to stop any such actions, it would mean a saving of a great deal of trouble and expense. SCHOOL SPIRIT The success of the student body of any school depends wholly upon the school spirit of the pupils of that school. The pupils of the C. M. H. S. have shown a great deal of school spirit in athletics and they are worthy of much praise for both their financial and their moral support. The pupils did not respond to the calls for material for the “Green and White,” as well as they should have done. It is too late to contribute to the school paper this year, and so it is up to you to make good for your mistake by contributing to it financially. If you wish to have a successful school paper, you must work for it, for it now depends upon you. School spirit is also necessary in your every day school life and in everything that is connected with the school. Without it, everything would fail; with it, it would seem as if the “Augustan Age” had returned to us. If you will make school spirit your most predominant quality, your school life will be a success. LITERARY WHY NOT TEACH? Teaching as an occupation has many advantages. The educational qualifications and special training involved in preparation for the work are directly beneficial to the teacher herself. What is required as a means in teaching is eagerly sought by most people as an end, whatever their prospective occupation. In no other line of activity are there such fine opportunities for self-improvement both before and after the professional period has begun. Teach- ing enables one more fully to realize the joys of a more abundant life. Since a high average of intelligence in its citizenry is a necessity of its well being and preservation, the State in its own interest contributes generously to the preparation of teachers for their work. A graduate in good standing of our high school can enter the Rhode Island College of Education. Here tuition is free, books and supplies are provided wholly and transportation nearly without cost. Consequently, one secures
