10 THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT of modern education. The progress of in- dustry is taken for granted. Motor-cars, wireless, motion pictures, agricultural ma- chinery, and the thousands of other prod- ucts of progressive minds are daily used and appreciated, but when the question of school improvement is presented, there seems to be another story. It was good enough for me when I went to school and it should be good enough now, is a phrase we can always hear. Unfortunately there are a few in our town who hold this View about our schools. VVe, as students, realize the burdens which thc town is under and, also, that in a few years we shall be bearing our part. We are students now, we shall be citizens then. It rests with you to determine what type of citizen we shall be. In order that you may see conditions as they are we ask you not to take our word or the word of anyone, but come to the school, and seeg sit in the same seats, in the same congested room, and breathe the same air. VVe know that then you will not think we are asking for too much.

PERCY SAMPLE, '23 Assistant Manager EDITORIALS HE students of Strong High School have never published a paper until this year. The name Mussul Unsquit was chosen as it is the Indian name for Sandy River on whose banks the school is situated. We have endeavored to make our paper of interest and value to our read- ers and hope that succeeding numbers will be published by our successors. GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL URING the year 1919-20, the first year that Mr. Phillips taught here, there were thirty students. The next year the number increased to forty-tive and at the beginning of this year there were fifty- six. In the winter three more were ad- 1nitted, making the present registration fifty-nine. It was found last summer that there was a great need of more space so the recitation room was enlarged, but it is not large enough yet. The seats in the main room were moved over, thereby giv- ing a chance for one more row of seats, but this enlargement was not adequate as there are nfty-nine students and a seating capacity for fifty-six. The air space of tl1e main room provides for only forty-tive. It is hoped that there will be something else done this summer for the registration next year will surely reach seventy. T is hard for an empty sack to stand upright, is a proverb followed by Benjamin Franklin, but it will apply to the students of any school today. If you do not actually study, the temptation comes to cheat in one way or another. Of course it is easier for some students to learn than it is for others, nevertheless tl1e so-termed smart-ones have to study or they would not get passing rank. In just getting by you are hurting nobody but yourself. If you begin to be unfair to yourself in school life you will do the same way all through life, and it will be as hard to stand upright as for an empty sack to stand alone. oUR APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS OF STRONG HE foundation of any community is its schools and it is upon this founda- tion that we must build. In order that our structure may be firm, our schools must keep pace with the times. Yet it is a re- grettable faet that there are in every com- munity those who cannot see tl1e necessity of giving to the children every advantage
