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.
