The problem of student government has been facing the American educators for many years. It has never been developed to a very great extent, but where it has been attempted it seems to have worked satisfactorily. The youth is best governed by rules that he has some share in making. Nations are best governed when the citizens have some share in making the laws. Students are the same as citizens, notwithstanding the fact that they yield, though reluctantly, to rules laid down by their superiors. In the George Junior Republic, and other similar successful experiments, it is being shown that even the most lawless may be controlled bv self-government. In many of our colleges and universities the honor system, wihich is really a form of student government, has long been in successful operation. In one of our successful business schools, students found guilty of misconduct are fined by a committee of students elected for

S., and doubtless will not be for some time to come. Yet if it should be attempted on a small scale, we think that it would meet with great success. Many of our students would live up to rules, which today they are violating, if these rules were made by themselves. We have in our schools young men and women who are capable of making rules that 'would govern our student body, and keep it under excellent control. C. H. S. LITERARY CONTEST. The four literary societies composed of Senior, Junior and Sophomores will have a literary contest on the evening of March 22nd, in the Auditorium. The principal feature of the contest will be a debate: “Resolved, That the Monroe doctrine should continue to be a part of the permanent foreign policy of the United States.” Two boys from Varsity and one girl from their sister society, the An Fait, will debate against two boys from Smith Society and one girl from their sister society, Der Zeit Geist. The societies have chosen their representatives and they are working hard for the contest. It promises to be one of the hardest fights our school has known for some years. The other contests will be in oratory, essays, original stories and monologues. EXCHANGES. We acknowledge the receipt of the following exchanges, but owing to the fact that we have had no previous experience in criticizing and will have none in the future, we refrain from criticizing any of them: Borden- town “Skirmisher,” Otaknum, Rapid Soo, Echo, Dart, and Allegheny Literary Monthly. TO OUR ADVERTISERS. We wish to take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of the patronage of those who advertise in these columns. We bespeak the su'pport of the student body for these people.
