A number of men holding responsible public positions are now the objects of suspicion and distrust. It is said chat government property has been sacrificed to private interests. But the material loss is fairly insignificant. The real tragedy is not the loss of dollars, but the loss of confidence in public officials. If the peo- ple lose faith in their government, the country will receive a blow from which it cannot recover in years. Whenever a public official misuses his office, the reasons, however diverse, can invariably be traced to a single source,— lack of responsibility. If he has a full realization of his obligations he will not break faith with those who trust him. Great oaks from little acorns grow. So, as we all know, it is for those who are now forming the ideals and principles by which they will govern themselves in years to come to profit by the mistakes of the older generation. A school is the best place in the world to develop responsibil- ity. In doing the smallest things, the student has in his grasp the power to weaken or strengthen his sense of duty. If every young American made it a point to strengthen that sense of duty, there would be no need of government investi- gations in the future. PROTECTION The fire drills in this school are few and far between. Undoubtedly the chief reason for this situation is that, owing to the short sessions, time can hardly be spared. Yet, considering the condition of our building, it seems that there should be at least four drills a year. Whether this is possible or not, it should be remembered that during a fire drill is the one time when there should be no talking. If any orders were to be given in a real fire, the failure of students to hear them might mean loss of life. We
