THE MAGNET 15 foundation is black, then the rest of the house is black; if white, the remainder is likely to be the same. We must live forever in the house we make; there is no moving out and buying or renting a new one. Some people have handsome, pure white homes; others have small, dark and stained huts. One can always tell w'hat kind of house a person has built by a glance at his face. It shows there in plain sight. How are we laying our foundation— for the good or bad? Maurice Ciiarnock.

14 THE MAGNET help that was not entirely honorable. While we realize that there are some whose ideals are so low that they would continue to stoop to dishonest work, such cases would be gradually weeded out, and few students would care to be placed in the position of violating the rules of the system. Only such students as are dishonest, or wish to be, would be found to object to it after a fair trial. The system would create a greater confidence between the teacher and student and would give honest students the standing their work would earn for them, by relieving them of unfair competition, although those students who do their work honestly are almost invariably those who have the highest standards of scholarship. M. Verne Reed. STEADY GROWTH OF B. H. S. Butler High School is steadily growing. This year the number of students enrolled is much greater than ever before, there being about 650 students attending, of which more than one-third are Freshmen, who finished their course in Common School last spring and are now striving for a higher ideal. The increasing number of students makes it necessary for more class rooms and new teachers. This year the small room at the rear of the library has been fitted up and is now being occupied by one division of the B. Sophomores. Five new teachers have also been added, making a total of twenty-two teachers for this illustrious building of education. One of the departments of the school which is rapidly increasing and which should receive special attention, is the Commercial Department. Each year more pupils are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by this department. This increase is largely due to the fact that many who would much prefer teaching are forced by the stringent law, which has just been passed, to take up this course and fit themselves for earning a livelihood. This year there is such a demand for typewriters that it has been found necessary to add two new machines, making a total of seventeen. The bookkeeping text has been revised and another half year has been added to the course. This year there are fifty beginners in bookkeeping, and the same number in stenography and typewriting. The following pupils have been enrolled during the past year and have completed the Commercial Course, and are now very acceptably filling the following named positions: Eleanor Frantz, Klingler Seed Co. Iva Shull, Electric Light office. Leroy Nicholas and Ben Robinson, Guaranty Safe Deposit and Trust Co.! Miriam Funkhouser, Templeton Co.; Nathan Zeefe, Gussie Zuckerman, Anna Brier, Abes Bros.; Elsie Bricker, Cohn’s; Virginia Yockey, substitute; Florence Walker, teacher Commercial Dept.; Paul Graham, Manual Training. Ruth Mays. CHARACTER. What is character? How is it made? Character may be compared to a house. As we grow we build our house, and each day sees new pieces put in place. Each deed is a stone. When we do some act of kindness or sympathy, we are choosing the best white stones for our house, but when we commit some mean, cowardly or dishonest act, we are selecting the worst, blackest and roughest of stones. The queerest thing is that just after laying a white stone in place, we sometimes turn around and choose a black one, when, if we would only stop to think, we would immediately cast it out. Our early life, the years when we attend High School, are the most important of all. Then we lay our foundation, and the foundation usually determines the nature of the superstructure. If the
