Interest in John Freund's Article.
John c. Freund has recently pub
lished an article on Americas Ap-
probation of Music" which has been
received with great interest by his
friends in Atlanta. Mr.. Freund was
a guest of the Atlanta Musical AS
ISOLATION in the fall, and was enter
tanned at brilliant functions by Gov
ernor and Mrs. Slaton and Mr.. and
Mrs. Milton Arrowood.
Mr. Freund in his article deals
charmingly with orchestras and mu-
sicians. He is regarded as authority
on musical matters, and well quail
fled to handle such subject.
Mr.. Freund contends that Gatti- Ca
sazza, who is also well known in At
lanta as head of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. would not dare pre-
sent "Parisfal" before an audience as
II was presented recently in Berlin
He also said that the reason artists
who were famous in their own coun-
tries failed In the United States was
because they did not measure up to
the American standard.
Mr.. Freund has been deeply inter
ested In the development of music in
Atlanta. and has many friends in the
city following his writings with in
terest.

THANKSGIVING.
Proper Way to Show Gratitude 10 Do
ina Good to Others.

Thanksgiving presuppoSes thankful
ness. One cannot give thanks unless
he feels thankful. and this feeling Is a
cultivated habit. AS an expression Of
simple politeness 1t Is o an innate
but an inbred trait. Much more is this
the case when we consider the thanks
that are due to a beneficent Creator
In a time when luxuries are counted as
necessities n sense Of repletion or dis
satisfaction is often felt which makes
us blind to the everyday. commonplace
favors that we enjoy. Make a list Of
the essential and vital boons with
which your life Is blessed and your
heart will begin to glow with thankful
ness.
1t Is no accident that think" and
thank" come from the same root
Thanklessness Is usually the result of
thOughtlessness. But we are more api
to be t~houghtless about the favors that
come from God through the working
Of his beneficent laws than about the
material gifts that come from the hand
of a fellow Il Stevenson has well
said: Keep your eyes open to your
mercies. That part Of piety Is eternal
and the man who forgets to he thank
ful has fallen asleep In life"
Above all. the true thanksgiving Is
Thanksgiving, In the deed OF the hard
as well as the word Of the lip. By
giving some one else a reason for
thankfulness through your Kindness
you provide a proper outlet for the
brimming. overfowing gratitude Of
your W heart. For the common pros
perity. for your individual blessings. for
what you have not rs well as what you
have. in everything give t~hanks."-

were common down town and pedes-
trans had to watch out for them to
keep from being knocked down but
these vehicles had the merit of warn
ing one by their rattle and noise. The
most insidious danger footmen have
to contend with now is the growing
habit of using the up town sidewalks
for bicycle paths. There is an ordi-
nance against riding bicycles on the
sidewalks but it is more honored in it's
breach than in it's observance. 1t
startles one to have a cyclist fit by
with noiseless tread and without warn
ing. Some are SO bold as to dispute
the use of the sidewalk with you when
they come speeding towards you. The
ordinance ought to be more strictly en-
forced else there will be a serious &C
cident some of these days. If cyclists
were compelled to carry a number on
their wheels they could be more easily
reported. If the abuse Is not stopped
soon we may expect 10 nave 10 COu-
tend with motorcycles on the side
walks in the near future.

This after-election advice from a
popular weekly magazine Is to the
point: whether you form a cocktail
habit or decide to stay On the water
wagon Is of infinitely more importance
to you than who shall be President of
the United States. Smoking three
cigars a day too many counts for vast
ly more in your veal or woe than what
party is in power. In the enrichment
or impoverishment of your own life,
what you shall read this winter
cunts for a hundred, while the state
of the tariff counts for only fifty. De-
Gliding whether to borrow a hundred
dollars on your life insurance policy
or to get along with last winters over
coat is an act of incomparatively
greater weight in determining your
success or failure than the vote you
cast at the last election"

and giving the results of the football
game with the Grand Forks team with.
in a few minutes after the game was
over. A mechanical student rugged up
a field telephone on an extended wire
and connected it with a direct wire to
the publishing Office down town. The
staff reporter stationed himself along
the side lines and telephoned the de.
tails of the game to the office as fast
as the plays were made and when the
game was over its story was all set
up in type, the forms were locked up,
the press was started and by the time
grounds the n%ewsboys were selling the
special on the streets. This speaks
well for the %up-to-date ideas of the
Collegian staff and the newspaper
facilities of a town of the size of
Brookings. The projectors of the
enterprise will no doubt make good
in whatever they undertake after leav-
ing college.
The Grand Forks team played the
last game for the season here. 1t is
said that, their period of training be-
ing over, most of them retired to a
room after supper and INDUCED in an
all round smoke. If it Is not the
proper thing for them to indulge in
narcotics while members of a football
team during the playing season, why
not abstain from such things in play
ing the game of life? Perhaps,
though, they smoked up as a solace
for losing the game. Such are
made sometimes.
While on the subject of college and
high school sports, why is it that insti-
tutions of learning In parts of the
west still arrange for football games
on Thanksgiving Day? In the East
the colleges are discarding the Gus
tom as 10 being appropriate for the
observance of the day. 1t is foreign
to the spirit of thanksgiving and pre-
vents many homegathering occasions
that would otherwise take place on
one of the most sentimental days of
the year. Will State College take the
lead in this matter next year?

Last Saturday the local high school
met and defeated the Madison high
school football team decisively, by
the score of Il to s. The play was in
the opponents territory the entire
game, and at no stage of the contest
was the results of the game in doubt.
Although the class of football played
IA not to compare with that exhibit
ed in the WATERFOWL game, however
il was such as to administer to our
rivals from the south a decisive de-
feat. At times the team showed
flashes Of fine football, but too much
of the time our boys were as much
concerned to know who had his knee
on them. CIR who was holding him, as
they were with the work of the sue
liant forward passes were made to
Kepnard and Richard Olson by Sever

Only on one or two occasions was
Madison able to gain through the
stonewall defense of our team. On
one attempt at a punt the ball sailed
far over the head Of Madison's fleet
quarterback, but he recovered it and
a brilliant run through the entire
team scored the only touch
for his team. Aside from that

In the foregoing lists the titles star
red are found in the college library.
Desirable as it might be to have all
these periodicals in the city library, it
is obvious that at present the funds
will not permit the library to sub
scribe for all of them. There are sew
eral considerations that may help in
making the selection. First between
two periodicals one of which is in.
expensive and is taken by a good
many patrons of the library and the
other relatively expensive and conse-
quently not subscribed for at all per-
haps by private families, it seems
clear that the library might well SUBJ
scribe for the more expensive periodi-
cal, provided of course that the maya
zine has sufficient merit to make it
worthy. Again between a periodical
of permanent value and one fit only to
be thrown away when the month Is
past, the choice is clear, unless both
can be taken. The other things being
equal the city library will naturally
first subscribe for those not taken at
the college. Finally some periodicals
not subscribed for have been turned
over to the library by patrons after
reading. Not so much Of this has
been lone in 1914 as was done in 1913.
The librarian hopes that all patrons
of the library will examine these lists
carefully, that who can and care to
do so will let her know if there are
any periodicals which can be had regu-
larly after reading from the patrons,
and finally that they will offer sugges-
tions regarding these lists; that is
that they will let it be known which
of these magazines are really most
desired in the library. 1t is expected
that the lending Of magazines for
home reading can be done much more
extensively after the library gets into
the new quarters.
