It’s not the amount at all—it’s the intention. If the depositor is in earnest and really wants to save and make his account grow— that’s all we ask. Every man and woman who has a bank account should remember, of course, that banks have expenses to pay and these expenses must be met by the earnings from loaning the depositors’ balances—hence it follows that each account should reach a point where it is self- sustaining. It’s worth while to be favorably known at your bank, especially so for the young man who may later need the bank’s assistance in some business venture.

THE EASTERNER 7 Editorials Cadets S PORTS may come and sports may go, but the Cadets move on forever. With apologies to a great poet, this is the sen- tment we take. We cannot see the time when the Cadets will cease to be. : What's the matter with some of you fellows? There is not one of you who would not fight in an instant if called yellow ;” yet you are afraid to take a chance on anything that lasts more than a few weeks. Through some of the fel- lows here, you have been given two “companies,” and now you are “lying down on them. One semester is left. It's not a long time. Send in your en- listment now and show people that you have something in you. One Semester Left N OW for the final spurt. With only one semester more to go this year, it sounds easy. A lot can happen in one semester, however. Keep alive, and don’t slump, if you can help it. Let ev- erybody take a good big spurt and finish the year in good shape. Those Basket Ball Games ape the spectator they are good ones, but to the players and to those who understand conditions, they are the worst yet. In the first place, basket ball games were never intended to be played on a dance floor so slippery that even expe- rienced players have trouble in retain- ing a footing. The team here at school is green and full of fight as usual, but even the fight can be taken out of a team by playing on a floor as the one at the Arcade. Some More Athletic Dope W E have not seen an Eastern team win a game on the field of sport since the basketball season last year. Following that season we dropped four games in base ball, then four games in foot ball, and now we are losing with cheerful regularity in basket ball. We believe, with Mr. Blair, who told us a few per- tinent things at the foot ball supper, that it's about time we stopped puting this “Well, we gave them a good game, any- way,” stuff, and win something. Every game lost injufes the reputation of the school. Let's scalp somebody soon. Have You Ever Heard This Before? HAT little matter of common cour- tesy doesn’t seem to amount to much at first thought, but it’s getting to be a pretty serious thing around here. We had a mighty fine lecture in the Assem- bly Hall not long ago, and we acted like a bunch of backwoodsmen. Some of us dance in the drill hall occasionally, and the rest of us stand around and laugh and make comments. It looks very crude, to say the least. Disqualification M UCH has been said and written about the disqualification of Morrison Barr from high school athletics. We will not attempt to discuss the question any fur- ther, because we think that too much has been said already. But to those who are in charge of high school athletics we will say this: If any of the rules of the schools are broken again, settle the mat- ter at once, with the least possible pub- licity, and let the decision be final. By reason of his s lip-up of last summer, Barr has received a great deal of noto- tiety which he has not altogether de- served, and high school athletics, partic- ularly football and basket ball, have re- ceived a very serious blow, especially here at Eastern. :
