"I'll bet you a quarter !" "Put up your stakes!"
Such light bets so often made around prep schools, although not erious in nature, are sometimes detrimental to boys and may cause them to do things which are dishonorable. Of course, there are various kinds of gambling. ome people play cards for money because they have the money to play with and are willing tq_ use it in this mann r. Gambling
of this type is not serious. But what about the people of limited means who start with mall stakes and hopes of winning, and then lo e every- thing? This is the type of gambler who often loses his honor and resorts to tealing. Instead of learning a lesson from his losses, he steal money
or other things so that he may repay his debts and gamble again.

There is one thing, however, that may be said about the V. E. S. hOnor system. It will not continue in its highest degree of perfection if it is merely taken for granted and not considered seriously. This will be true even though there are no students in the school who are actually guilty of
