OUR FACULTY The importance of the faculty of a school cannot be overestim- ated. A competent faculty is the foundation of a successful insti- tution of learning. Given the best building which it is possible to construct, the finest andmost expensive equipment available, a group of students of proven ability and intelligence, and if the faculty be ill-trained and incompetent, an ill-trained and poorly educated group of students must be the result. The school is certain to be- come an inefficient and uncontrollable organization, worthy of con- sideration only as an example of the fruits of incompetency and poor judgment. Friction is certain to arise between pupils and teachersg and unless this is disnelled with tact and firmness a general feeling of antagonism toward all teachers will result, and fruitful and har- monious cooperation will be impossible. The faculty hold in their hands, not only the destiny of their school, but to a large extent the destiny of each individual in that school. The ability of a teacher to inculcate in his pupils habits of punctuality, industry, and dependability will determine his value as an instructor quite as much as his knowledee of the subject at hand, or his ability to impart that knowledee. Tue students of Camden Hifh School have been extremely fortu- nate during the nast year in having a faculty of rare understanding and ability. It is a body which has youth, life, and enthusiasm, nicely tempered by the presence of those of wide experience and proven sagacity. They treat us as human beings, and not as a bunch of nitwits into whom it is amount of knowledre. They desires, and giveus credit of brains and a modicum of common sense. for There has been, it seems of a disturbing and irritating their unpleasant duty to instill a certain exhibit an interest in our own wants and possessing a certain small measure to me, less friction, few occurences nature, than in any other year of my high school life. There has been a nearer apnroach to fellowhip between teachers and pupils, and I believe that this may be attri- buted to the ability and understanding of our faculty. Martha Wilson, 'f5. Tii TORACCO EABIT One of the worst habits of widespread practice is smoking. This habit begins very early in life, in most many times have I soon young boys, hiding smoking hay and sawdust. This is very injurious to the throat, but who is to blame if children elders, of course, and all other persons child never sawjanvone smoke, it is very of it himself. Therefore, when older people smoke they smoke in secret. they ever saw doubtful if he the habit of cases. How behind their father'z barn, lunfs and Tieir moking. If a would think are injuring not only their ovn health, but also the health of the children who cooy this habit from them. T'e cost ef smoking is very great especially to the poor man. 5.
