Patriotism or school Spirit

Patriotism is a fine thing. History
tells US of countless occasions when
it has inspired someone 10 do a noble
deed. We read of it in accounts OF
the Revolution, the War of 1912, the
Civil War. and the Spanish-American
war. Our fOrefathers read of it in
occasional newspapers and we can
read of 1t in our newspapers every
day. Yes, it is a fine thing.
But do our high school pupils real
iZe that as patriotism is love for our
country, just so is school spirit love
for our school? Some may not. even
though il be true 1t is just as neces-
sary for them to support their school
and everything that has its welfare
in view for the love of their school as
1t is for them to do noble deeds for the
love Of their country.
Patriotism means not only love.
but support, and that is what we
want
We want every one of our students
to support our school in every way
that is possible for them to do so.
And while was as teachers do earnest [
ly believe that we have the respect of (
our students, we realize that there
are number of necessary improve
ments that they, by cooperating with
US, could help to replenish. We feel
quite certain that our greatest neces-
sity is amusement for our little ones
at play time Mr. Roosevelt said:
When you play, play hard When
you work, don't play at all" Now
while we realize that it is very import
ant for children to work, we are also
mindful of the fact that they should
play hard during their recreation
hours. So the thing we need most is
4 play ground. Now that winter is
,cEaing and the little ones will be kept
n doors from rains and harsh winds.
We have plenty of time to think OF
md plan amusement for the warm ;
pring days.
Such a playground as would delight
he children would mean little work =
or us, as giving entertainments and I
harging admission, holding socials,
tc. We can do it, so let's get busy 1
nd work for it. We could hardly ex- S
ect it without the support of our
tudents, and then there come patroit- b
im, or school spirit. Il

Some Faithful Deer.

Wild deer in the Federal park that protects the great redwood forest, have accustomed themselves to the call of the deputy warden and will come quickly early in the morning or late in the evening, when he gives the signal. When they reach him, he throws out pieces of apple to them, or spreads barley in trough from which they may get the grain. If stranger approaches while they are being fed, the deer wheel and bound away into the forest until MT. Weaver calls for them again. and not until then will they come back unless the stranger has disappeared or stopped moving. As many as IA deer have responded to this call at one time.-Fron the National Humane Review.

HORSES IN ANCIENT BATTLE
Seer, to Have Been Little Used Except to Carry tie Infantry Into
 the Fight.

Tn the old days when the Romans and Greeks fought furious battles, the charioteers drove their cars in all directions, hurled their javelins, and by the din and chatter of horses and wheels commonly threw the ranks of the enemy into disorder, and, making their way among the suuadrons of the enemy's cavalry, leaped down from their chariots and fought on foot. The charioteers then withdrew, little by little, from the fight, and placed their chariots in such way that if they were hard pressed they could readily retreat to their own side. Thus in battle they afforded the mobility of cavalry with the steadi- ness of infantry. Daily practice en- abled them to pull up their horses at full speed when on steep slope, or to run out on the pole and stand on the yoke, and to get nimbly back into the chariot.
 With the introduction of cavalry
 in the later iron age came larger horses, but their use for this pur-
 pose seems to have been restricted
 to isolated areas. There is no doubt
 that the west German tribes, as late as the campaign of Caesar 1n Gaul, used only the shaggy pony. II is said in cavalry actions they held 1t disgraceful and slothful to use any kind of saddle, and instead of charg- ing in suuadrons they dismounted and fought on foot. As far as England IS concerned, the art of riding seems tc | have been introduced by the Normans | The Saxons appear to have been but ] indifferent hOrSemen.

GIVES CAT PALM OF WISDOM
Writer in California Newspaper Comes Forward With Loud Praise
 of Household Pet.

It is often a subject for discussion as tO which is the WiSeSt animal. Some say it is the dog and some are in favor of the horse, while scientists appear to think it is the elephant.
 We beg to differ with all these views. We do not even agree to the movement in certain quarters to give the palm for wisdom to the fox. To our mind the wisest animal that lives is the cat And. if it goes to that, we are willing to have it further known that of all animals we like the cat the best.
 A cat is so wise that it succeeds in not letting us know how wise it really is. If you will be friendly with cats and that's an easy thing to do-you will be astOunded at their wisdom And you could not imagine how affectiOnate cat can also be.
 There is an old yellow cat up in the Verdugo hills that we wouldn't trade for all the dogs and horses and ele- phants outside of Barnum'S circus. When the last of his nine lives de parts from the earth those mountains will be very lonely place for us.-Los Angeles Times.

LAZLNESS ACTING AS SPUR
Good Work Done by Those Who Dis like 1t, and Want to Get
 Through and Rest.

The best work is done by the lazy people who want to get through and rest.
 The industrious. active body, busy as bee, and always at it, is very li- able to become a putterer.
 Mark Twain called attention to the fact that the ant, to whom the sage recommended the sluggard to go, spends most of his energy In running around like drunken Indian.
 The great humOrist hated to move; he used to give the boy in the print ing office nickel to sweep around him, so that he would not have to take his feet off the table. At seventy he confessed that "all exercise is loath- Some."
 Laziness is not good in itself: but when joined to conscientiOusness and sense of responsibility, as 1t often is. it is the very best worker.
 The worlds work is done by those who do not like it. Nine persons out of ten would quit what they are do- ing if they could. At the very beginning of Arnold Bennett's novel, "Hilda Lessways." is luminous bit of philosophy 1 "Hilda hated domestic work, and because she hated it she often did it passionately and thoroughly"
 Mark Twain hated to write.-Dr Frank Crane, in Farm Life.

For Success in Business.

Wealth is, after all, only what is produced by us, either by mental or physical labor. It stands to reason, therefore, that if a man would become rich in this worlds goods, or in knOWl- edge of things or men, he must work hard and long to acquire such knOWl- edge and skill. And he will be reWard- ed in proportion to his work. Despite lucky stroke occasionally here and there in a mans life, I am a firm be- liever in the motto that nothing really comes by chance to a man which is of much value beyond the ordinary.
 Success has usually been prepared for. striven for, helped onward by his own innate ability, work, or tact in ways the exterior world often failed to recognize. Hard work is the best friend any man ever embraced.
 would say to all youthful beginners in business that business is like the land-the more you put into 1t the moro you will get out. If you put nothing Tn, you will get precious little out if yOu tend it in deSultOry fash ion. you can only expect an indifferent harvest, if any at all.-EXchange.

Where Is TeSchen?

This is the latest breakfast-table problem Although the town has fig ured prominently in European history at various times for over century, Lloyd George had to confess, when it was mentioned at the peace confer ence, that he did not know exactly where it was situated.
 Nor was he alone in his lack of knowledge. It is doubtful if one per son in fifty would be able to give you any information about the town.
 And yet it was once the scene of a great peace conference.-the of 1779 when Vergennes, the foreign minister of France, arranged the peace ot TescEcn. thereby avoiding great Eu ropean war. and also, in all probabil ity, securing the independence of the United States.
