Mail Matter.SUPPORT THE STUDENT ENTER¬
PRISES.THE Spring term has opened, and with its
close in June the majority of the student
enterprises will close their years work. We
have from now until the close of this term in
which we can make or destroy a successful
years work for many of these student organi¬
zations. The work during the past two terms
has been better than we have had in many
other years, but on the other hand it, too, could
have been improved.The one deplorable fact which we must face
is, that so much more could be accomplished if
only more interest were shown. Take for ex¬
ample a case in which we may suppose thatevery one in school pays his or her dollar and
joins the school Athletic Association. In this
school it would mean that the team would be
supported by a crowd at least three times the
size of the present crowds, that the crowd in
turn would see a much improved team playing
for the school, and as for the manager of the
team, he could see to it that only the best teams
in the state came here to play.This same principle holds for the other stu¬
dent organizations such as the Y. M. or Y. W.
C. A., the Oratorical League, or even, (we in¬
sert this last solely for sake of illustration), the
school paper.Did you say that it takes money to belong to
these things? No person is ever really inter¬
ested in an enterprise unless he is willing to
give money or service, or both toward its sup¬
port.What are you doing to improve the school
spiiit of Normal? Normals name is already
on the map, but in the coming two months let
us have the name written there in extra large
type.Get interested in what is going on.TO SUBSCRIBERS.
There are stili a few unpaid subscriptions
upon our list of subscribers, and we take this
opportunity to remind you that these have been
due for some time. Please see Carmichael at
once so that all records may be kept in good
shape.We hear a great deal of objection to school
spirit and school enterprises on the ground that
they detract in a large measure from the great
benefits which should be derived from the
school curriculum. It is said that students
come to school to get lessons and not to waste
their time in foolish little flub-dubs which
certain idle sons of the rich indulge in. Rather
should they, (the students), get a perfect grade
on all of their subjects, haunt the library, find
favor in the eyes of their professors, and glory
in the debating club for recreation. |
