50 VEARS AGO-. THIvS EDITORIAL was written in 1916 by W. B. Clark, principal. It was the first semester of Willard ' s existence. The privilege of being listed as a charter member of an organization is a distinctive one. A sense of honor is attached thereto that is denied those who join after the time for enrolling such members is expired. C 2yY ir y Those of us who have our names on the register of the Frances Willard School for the first term of its existence are the charter members of an institution that is destined to play a very important part in the educational life of the city of Berkeley, and with this opportunity comes the responsibility to so order our affairs that the traditions that shall become a part of the school shall be worthy of our heritage. It is my purpose in this article to mention three important traditions that we should incorporate early into the life of the school, and to indicate briefly some of the ways by which these traditions may be aquired. 1. First — We must have a standard of scholarship that shall be second to no other intermediate school in the country. How shall we acquire it? If we can cultivate a habit of self-reliance, and so exercise it that, when the time comes to give the results of our efforts, we have that feeling that what we give is the result of our o m honest endeavor, there will be no fear on the part of any one that our scholarship standard is going to be anything but first quality. .Second — We should have a high standard of school citizenship. The people of Berkeley have dealt generously with us in establishing the Intermediate plan. They have housed us in a beautiful building. Let us give them an adequate return by jealously caring for our building so that in the years to come it shall not show traces of willful desecration or careless neglect. Let its attractiveness be enhanced by reason of our stewardship. y p!- 3. Third — We should develop the proper kind of school spirit that is cheerful in defeat as well as in victory, a spirit that accepts thoughtfully the counsel of parent or teacher even though such counsel may be contrary to our own selfish desires, a spirit that places honor above personal advantage. These are a few of the characteristics of school spirit we ought to establish. If you didn ' t know (and you probably didn ' t) who Willard was named after, now is a good time to find out. )PL |4 FRANCES E. WILLARD Frances Willard was born in Churchville, New York, on September 28, 1839. Hep childhood home was an inspiration for the rest of her life. Her family later lived in Ohio and Wisconsin. Frances was taught at home until whe was eighteen, when she entered North- western University, from which she graduated. She then became a teacher. After
