Oh, if only we would talk less about ourselves, and think more of others, we would rid ourselves of our conceit and be of much more value and benefit to mankind.
SCHOOL SPIRIT
. What is this thing that is called school spirit?
Often we boys here in gchool run across these questions, and even more often we are asked to show our school spirit.
' .The larger part of the student body seems to think that the boys who have school spirit are those who are stars in some form of athletics, or are those who go around the sdwol yelling and creating a lot of noise before a game. They also s~;em to think that this is the only mode in which school-spirit can be shown. But, it must be remembered, that
this kind of spirit is not the only form, and I am not so sure that it is ~he most valuable. If these boys who think in this way leave school dur- ing the vacations and do things that would give people a poor impression -of this institution, I could hardly say that these students have the right
..sort of school-spirit.
It is much easier for one fo have the spirit of the school when he is
atschool than it is when he is away. Some boys are naturally good ath- letes; they go to no trouble to star on a team. It is very much harder, perhaps, to these boys to abstain from drinking or doing other things tlu1.t would injure the school; yet if they succeed from doing these, then
th~y have the right form of school spirit. They have clone, indirectly, of c;qurse, the school a good turn.
Then, the boy who is always trying to do something that would better ~is schopl is the boy who has school spirit, and he has cho en the best
,way to show it.
