24 THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIALS The reception given the first issue of the Radia- tor. under its present management, was extremely gratifying and encouraging. The number of copies printed was found to be decidedly inadequate, a condition much to be preferred to the “left-over” situation sometimes experienced. We must con- fess that this shower of enthusiasm came as a great and felicitous surprise, and we shall strive our hard- est to make the paper worthy of such interest. All branches of school work arc experiencing marked prosperity. Athletics have never been bet- ter supported, and the courtesy and sportsmanlike conduct shown toward our opponents at the games is a matter in which the schools may well take pride. The cheering under the able direction of Edmund Arnold has been of the clean, clear-cut type and has proved most inspiring. Now that the good work has been started, let each one put his shoulder to the wheel and keep it moving in an onward direction, remembering that success and good work in any direction tend toward i he glory and prosperin' of our beloved S. IT. S. y y y y One of the most enjoyable afternoons of Octo- ber, for the teachers of the Latin School, was that of Thursday, October 18, when they were enter- tained at the home of I)r. Baxter. The faculty was represented by all fifteen mem- bers of the teaching force, who appreciated the op- portunity of becoming acquainted with the three new instructors, Miss Perkins, Mr. William B. Sprague, and Mr. Wilkins, and of enjoying again the charming hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Baxter, which has become so famous among the teachers and pupils of the Latin School. y y y y The annual “Freshman reception” tendered by the faculty of the English School to the entering pupils and their parents occurred Wednesday even- ing. November 7. at the English School building, over eight hundred persons attending. The visitors, in departing, universally conceded that so far as opportunities arc concerned the Eng- glish High School ranks among the best and that if. in graduating, pupils feel a hesitancy in facing the world, the fault is their own. y. y. y. y The sympathy of the school, and especially of the football team, rests with Joshua F. Hillier, who met with such a deplorable accident in the football con- test between Hyde Park and Somerville. Mr. Hillier. in rushing the ball, slipped and frac- tured his limb in two places. He was taken to the Somerville Hospital, where the bone was adjusted, and is still there recuperating as rapidly as can be expected. 'Phis is the first serious accident which has oc- curred on Somerville’s field in several years, and is to be deeply regretted. It is consoling, however, to note that no player was in the least at fault, and that Mr. Hillier’s misfortune was purely accidental. y y y y The Boston newspapers are continuously thrust- ing before us the fact that our success in athletics is due to the combination of the two schools. The advantages of separation in this branch of school work would, undoubtedly, be many, but consider- ing everything, separation is decidedly impractica- ble and undesirable. There is. however, no obstacle in the way of in- tcrclass sports, which, in our schools, have never been indulged in to the extent that they arc in most schools, and we believe that were the classes to es- tablish a precedent in this line during the coming year the example would be followed in succeeding years and the ultimate result prove highly satisfac- tory. y y y y The newly reorganized Debating Club, with an enrollment of about fifty members, has entered upon its second year with Miss Mary Hayden at its head, and is progressing rapidly. Several intensely inter- esting and clever debates have already occurred, and many more are expected during the year. There is no one thing that will help gain for a person the power of elucidating the truth of any question, or of being able to speak upon that ques-
