THE ORACLE. 15 EDITORIALS. Just a few words to the public. Place Watkins High School, in the cozy corner of your heart, (live it your support. If there are imperfections in its makeup, do not advertise them; eradicate them. The elimination of these evils really does lie with the parents of the students, you know. It is from these that the students gain their attitude. If the parent thinks his child lias been unjustly paddled, that child immediately maintains the belief that the faculty are really unjust, cruel monsters. And that view would be intolerable. The best move for parents, then, is to support the faculty in every move. Few mistakes are made by them and thus you do not go very far wrong. Students, support the school. Do not say: “We have no spirit; other schools have, while we —.” If you are going to preach school spirit by telling a fellow where other schools excel you destroy, not gain that invaluable quality—school spirit. If this, the school paper, has little of good in it, remember that the editors can edit only what the student body provides. It is recommended by the dignified Seniors that all students comport themselves with more dignity. The bearing of some of the students is so lacking in that virtue as to be careless, hence disrespectful, and therefore discourteous. Courtesy must be maintained. ---------o------- FIRST HONOR STORY. If there's anything on this earth that I abominate it s a bashful man. He is a dreadful trial to have around and the way lie upsets things, and raises Cain generally, is enough to decompose the nu st steady-nerved woman on the face of the earth. Silas Hopkins is a bashful man. I nc ei seen one more bashfuller. He don t know what to do with his hands, In can't find a place for his feet, nor he don't know where to put his hat; and if he was to die. to navigate a room without upsetting something, he can't. I'd as lief see a cyclone in my parlor as to see him. Silas hasn t got no bad streaks, he don't drink, nor chew nor buy ottymobiles, nor ride biscykles, but can't seem to get by anything without hittin- it. and knockin' it on the floor. Just about two months ago, Silas he fell in love with our Jane Ellen, and took to coinin’ to our house regular. Sometimes he’d only just walk past and look at the house, and sometimes he'd ring the bell and then get scart and run like lightning down the steps, but at last he got up courage enough to come light m. The first time he come in he put his hat down on the table in the entry, then lie grabbed it up again, and then he put it down and grabbed onto Ellen's and it came way down over his eyes, and he walked rite into a Japan screen that Jane Ellen had been paintin’ with roosters and llurr-deelis, and billious looking peacocks, and stove a hole clean through it, and Rut wasn’t Jane Ellen hoppin mad? She called him ail awkward jack-
