Training in courtesy should start when the child Iirst enters school and should con- tinue through his whole school life. This side of educational lite is often neglected in high schools and institutions of learning, due to the fact that more emphasis is put on aca- dclnic studies than on cultural subjects. Courtesy means respect towards teachers and consider- ation for schoolmates. Courtesy may he shown toward other schools in athletic contests and in other interscholastic contests, such as school speaking contests and winter carnivals. In any of these cases,

THE TATTLER 9 we should not say discourteous things to our opponents. whether we are winning or losing. XVe should always treat them with courtesy, which means treating them as we would want to be treated on a similar occasion. If we do not begin by being courteous at school, We will not form the habit of being courteous. After We finish school, we may apply for positionsg our employers will not want discourteous workers. . Editor-in-Chief, A. ll., '3l. BASKETBALL COURTESY The members of a school should be especially careful about their courtesy at basketball games with other schoolsg first, because the reputation of the school often depends on the attitude of its members, and second, because the indi- viduals should form the habit of being courteous to others. especially where there is competition. Athletics in schools are not solely for the purpose of gaining cups or medals, but we should learn to tight hard for the victory and still be courteous and friendly to our opponents. When entertaining another team. one of the members of the school should meet the visiting team and take them to the dressing room. The visiting team should be given the best dressing room. Both teams will have a better time if they try to get acquainted. VVhile on the fioor, the players should be courteous to their opponent. It always spoils a game to see some player purposely trip or nudge an opponent. The best players play the ball and not the opponent. At the end of the game both teams should cheer each other earnestly. It is easy enough to be a good winner, but the real test comes when the victory goes to the other side. Not only the players, but also the cheering squad should be considerate of the other school. There are plenty of good cheers which show enough school spirit and are not slams to the other side. Friends of the team can do much to keep up a friendly feeling. It is always cliscourteous to find fault with the referee, the players or the school building. If schools were more courteous, more would be gained from athletics. Assistant Editor, M. W., '32.
