2,121 THE scnenfgis JOURf'IAL:L..:,f , How many of us have not wished to live in some exciting age, in the age of knighthood, the Revolution, the Civil iVar? Exciting history is only a chronicle of improbabilities, but never of impossibilities. Here, in Schenley High School, the impossible has happened. iVho does not know be he freshman, sophomore, junior or even senior, that one of our number confirmed in bachelorhood is to be married. NV ho is she? iVhat matters that? She is not the important, it is he. He, I repeat, is the one with whom we are concerned. He is a person transformed! Besides wearing a fiower every morning, he has become reconciled to girls and freshmen. THE INDIVIDUAL'S DUTY IN WAR War is an active event of ancient and modern times in which we have become participants. This war has laid upon all classes of men and women, a specified duty. In order to keep that sacred right of Liberty which America stands for, every one must obey and respond to the country's call. - Man has two choices, one as hon- orable as is the other, one as nec- essary as is the other. These choices are duties which every man must obey. One of these choices is, giving himself up to the countryis service, as a soldier of arms, while the other is giving himself to the co-untry's service as a soldier of the soil. If a man is not capable of be- coming a soldier of arms, he is then capable of becoming a soldier of the soil. VVhy shouldn't he choose either of these two? Should he, as a true patriot wait until he is forced? No, he should choose, because it is his duty, an honor, a right and a privilege. These are the duties Which bind the individual man. The woman has a wide field of duties from which she may select. There are two classes of women, one class, the woman of the house, the other, the woman of society. Econ- omy is the indirect destroyer of our enemy. The present war needs all manufactured goods, it needs the men, and at present, it needs women to manufacture goo-ds because of the shortage of labor. The duty of the society woman is to give up her time for charitable work. Institu- tions where such work is done, can lie found all over the country. These are the duties for the individ- ual woman. g We still have a class in the prime of life. To this class, belongs the boy and girl. It is his and her duty to become educated. Educational institutions are still in existence. Education is necessary for the win- ning of this war, because this war is being carried on in the civilized and educated world. It will rest upon the younger generations to re- make the old ideas, to uplift that which has fallen. In this great and difficult task, capable minds will be the winners. This duty binds every boy and girl. If these duties are faithfully done, we shall preserve our sacred right of Liberty for which America stands. M. BIELSKA, 2 12.

j .I III!! ' l.g I I EIE1.-.THE scnentgx .JouRr1nL,.,.-ag HOW THE WAR HAS AFFECTED ME The war which is at this present moment being waged by the nations of the world is to prove whether autocracy can overthrow democracy. This war should make each and every one of us, think and think hard. The question is, How does the war affect me ? It has affected me in four Ways: mentally, spiritually, educationally and financially. At times my emotions are aroused to such an extent, thinking of this terrible war, that I simply cannot rest. One may ask, Why should I worry PH It is because my coun- try, my flag, which stands for jus- tice, liberty, freedom, honor and de- mocracy has been insulted by the German nation and anyone who in- sults the American flag, insults me likewise. Vfe, who are Americans, should always be on the alert hunt- ing for the I-Iun. Why is it that our munition factories are being blown up, our homes devasted, our people insulted? It is because there are I-Iuns among us. Let us all get into this game of hunting the Hun and get rid of him as soon as pos- sible. Secondly, the war has affected me spiritually. IV e have seen .and heard of one of the Kaiser's famous but ridiculous statements, which is, The Lord is on my side and I kno-w I'll winf, To me these words from the lips of the Kaiser sound like blasphemy. VVhy should the Lord be on the German side? It cannot be because they are kinder than we are for the atrocities they committed in Belgium prove that they are very brutal. It cannot be because they are German people because it is said in the bible that this earth was not put here for one people nor for one race but for all and it is also said that all men are equal in the sight of God. T hirdly, it has affected me educa- tionally. By this I mean it has taught me many lessons, which I hope to remember. The first lesson is one of economy. It has taught me that one must be very sparing and conservative in time of War. It has thus far taught me that might isn't right, as the Kaiser said, but right is might. It has taught me by the atrocities committed by the Germans that civilization cannot be developed where there is war. I am looking forward to a future lesson when the war is over namely, that a democracy with its high ideals can overcome an autocracy with its at- rocities. Finally, it has affected me hnan- cially. Although the war is keeping me broke in pocket, it is not keeping me broken-hearted because I know I am giving for a good cause. I am purchasing war saving stamps. I must try to ea.rn money for the Y. M. C. A., which is doing so much to carry out our war plans and and to make our boys feel at home in the trenches. I have purshased small articles such as magazines, to- bacco, cards, etc. and sent them to our boys who have offered their lives for their country. So I can honestly say that I haven,t felt sorry for a cent I have given toward bringing this last great war to a triumphant end. I am at present trying to sell liberty bonds for the government. As it is in need financially, it is re-
