favorable impression of the V. E. S. boy's ability to dress properly. The worst phase of the whole situation is that it is entirely unwarranted. For none of the list of defective dressing is there any plausible excuse.

The adhesive patch-work suits form another example of slothful un-
kemptness. Cothes mended to any great extent in this manner have a
tendency to make their wearers look like scarecrows, and almost anybody
except a V. E. S. boy would fully realize this pathetic fact. A little extra
work with easily procured needle and thread would cure this fault, but this
is too much trouble ariel sewing is decidedly effeminate. Better look like tramps.

90% BOYS CONQUER THE EXAMINA TIONS

Most of the every-day wearing apparel is inexcusably dirty in appear- ance. Clothes do not have to be cleaned every week to remedy this fault. A.reasonable amount of care would serve just as welL The clothes and the cleaners are not to blame, for how can we expect suits to remain respectable

.
The last point that I wish to mention is the general listlessness toward · dress that evinces itself in such things as the needless wearing of bed- room slippers to meals and classes, and the growing habit of going to
chapel in unfit clothes. This fault, like the others, has no reason save laziness and so it could be easily cured.
These failings, while they may be no menance to the institution are certainly of no benefit to the appearance. Although clothes do not n~ces­ sarily make the man, if they are decent and well-worn, they will un- doubtedly raise him in the public view, and the same is true with regard toaschool.

Sundays. _It is the week-days that betray us, so let's see if it isn't possible
to take a httle more care of our clothes and dress more as a school of this sort should.
