When ApriI Comes,

When April comes, how tenderly
The love light falls on earth and sea!
How soft the flush of budding things,
How light the bluebird's flashing wings,
How freshly green the sunlit lea,
Sweet sounds. of lightsome revelry
Float from the stream and Young leafed
tree:
Joy flows from her Iong-prisoned
springs
When April comes.
Before the sprites of fearful glee
The pallid shapes of winter flee;
The springtime spirit laughs and sings
And softly sweeps her trembling
strings
The world is new for you and ME
When April comes

DR.. John Lovejoy Elliott head work

the water front on the doings of Nero.
He gave a vivid picture of the cruel

hearers. Then he began questions:
Boy" said the teacher. what do

There was no reply, and the class
moved around uneasily
'Weil, O'Brien. what do You think
of Nero? Would you say he was a
good man? Would you like To know

No answer, and O'Brien looked

England Must Help.

Englands failure to aid China IN nei
| struggle to throw off the effects OF the
wide spread use of opium, comes as q
keen disappointment to the other CIV
ilized nations, and to none OF tneh'
more acutely than to one of Engianu
greatest colonies. the Dominion Vi
Canada. The Caucasian finds IL eH-
tremely difficult to appreciate 'no
Mongolian point OF view. A Ch''''
mans way Of accomplishing results Is
not the way of the West, but the re-
suits are as sure and often more near
ly permanent.
The progressive statesman, IN grap-
n,ino with the opium evil, recognizes
the fact that it cannot be overcome IN
a day. that the fight will be long ana
hit,ar one that the victims must be
treated as sick men rather than as
criminals. and that the price which
must be paid. while a large one. is
none too great for the good accom-
plished. That good has been ac-
complished, the World, with the ex-
ception of the British foreign office,
recognizes. The rest of the world is
at a loss to understand why that body
of men refuses to be convinced.
America is lending aid to China be-
cause opium had become a menace in
this country, too. Cooperation with
China in suppressing the traffic has
been thorough and effective. Before
the crusade became so active half
the same amount costs $50 and must
come through the hands of smugglerS
to be obtained at any price, for not an
ounce comes through San Francisco
or any other port except as contra
band.
Residents of Canada. who have a
good understanding of the situation,
have challenged the British charges
that China is not sincere in her anti
opium crusade. In memorial to the
British foreign office the Canadians
say: In view of the unquestloned
sincerity of the government of China
and the leaders of the Chinese people
in their endeavor to suppress the
opium evil, we feel that Great Britain
has moral obligation to leave China
entirely free in regard to the importa-
ton of opium"
Just why England refuses to help in
this crusade is not clear, though there
have been suggestions that the reve-
nue. derived from the traffic by British
subjects has played a. sinister part in
shaping the British policy. 1t is time
that that policy was changed. Eng
land should join US in holding a ma
tional conference to ascertain what
can be done to aid China in her fight.
1t is a moral battle as great as the
world ever saw The welfare of mil
lions depends upon it's success.

professionalism" in School Life.

TRY few days ago that the crack
preparatory school had been disquali-
| fed for professionalism 1t ap-
peared that he had been guilty OF
pitching two innings on a semi-pro-
fessional team to accommodate a
friend. So far as we have learned he
received no compensation for his SER
vices. There is no question before
the school world today that is be-
logged with more senseless and i'm
practical twaddle than this same ques-
ton of what constitutes profession
alism.' High ideals" are all right
enough, but in putting them into prac-
.tice there should be an exercise OF
what is known as old fashioned every
day horse sense.
The Journal has always insisted that
two things alone should determine the
standing of a student athlete.
lst Is he in good and regular
standing in his classes.
ID Is he paying his own bills and
receiving no pecuniary assistance from
the school or it's friends on account of
his athletic services.
swered in the affirmative then we sub
init that the student in question is
fairly entitled to represent his institu-
tion in its athletic contests. SO long
as he fulfills these fair and reason
able requirements we hold that it is
absolutely no ones business what he
does during his vacations.
II student chooses to earn some
money during this period by playing
bah he should be accorded the privi-
lege without cavil or question. 1t is
absurd for institutions of learning to
put the ban on such honorable en-
fore the public behind which there is
more pretence and hypocrisy than
this one of professionalism. A few
years ago a wellknown institution
a young man from wear
ing its uniform because he had been
guilty of earning a little money to
help defray his expenses by playing
ball during the summer vacation. At
the same time it had on its rolls five
other students who were receiving
pecuniary assistance because of their
athletic services. Two of them had
been induced to leave other institu-
ions by the offer OF such pecuniary
assistance. OF the six the young man
who was disqualified was the only
BONA fide student and the only one
Who was paying his own bills in secur-
ng his education. The fact that he
rad been disqualified was heralded far
md wide as proof of the high
which was maintained in
he athletic life of the institution in
question! If he had sold books. or
waited on a hotel table during his long
vacation he would still have been in
good and regular standing in the ath-
etic life of his Institution, but the
