low standard that could only give us a
disgraceful reputation in public, and
would brand us as having very low
class and poor school?
These are the three standards, to
one of which belongs every school.
Which one belongs to Thurmont
High School? The second named
standard belongs to most schools, but
still is that the most desirable one?
Most undoubtedly no school would
want TO- consider the third standard.
The first is more interesting. But
this high standard can only be attain
ed when force is used if necessary,
and when pupils have very good adj
vantages for school work.
This is not the case with most high
schools. In the general run of high
schools only small majority have
the extra advantages and high mental
power necessary to high standard.
Also, if we were to try to maintain
this kind of standard what would
become of the students who do not
have sufficient mental powers or in
such circumstances that they are pre-
vented from doing the best grade Of
work necessary to high standard.
They would be sure to become dis
couraged and this is great hindrance
to good work. Furthermore there
would not be so many boys and girls
receiving a high school education as
there are now, and that also would be
a disadvantage.
The majority of high school STU
dents are just little above the ordi-
nary person, in regard to intellectual
power. Therefore they can only do
work that is just a little above the av-
erage.
can only come to the conclusion
that an extreme standard, whether it
be high or low, is not practical in a
high school. Moderation should be
exercised in setting standard for our
school.

The Seniors Entertain

Last Thursday morning the Seniors
gave a fifteen minute entertainment
for the rest of the High School. This
entertainment consisted of violin
solo, a reading, jokes, and selections
by jazz orchestra.
The violin solo was we'll done and
greatly enjoyed. The reading was
rather sad and made one feel like one
might need a handkerchief. The
jokes were exceedingly well selected
and also we'll delivered. The jazz
orchestra seemed more like a circus
band than an orchestra. 1t consisted
of a piano, violin, drum, uke, and two
jazz horns. This music was deliver
ed in a very quick and entertaining
manner, although the members of the
sham orchestra were more inclined to
laugh than play.
Everyone apparently enjoyed this
short entertainment and on the whole,
it seemed to be a success.

Philokalean Editorial Stat
Keep the Turk Out of Europe


The Sick Man of Europe as Turkey
has been called, has finally staged a
comeback and is showing signs of
unexpected strength. This strength
is shown in the smoking ruins of
Smyrna. and the presence of a VIC
torious Turkish host across the Straits
from Constantinople. The Turkish
Nationalist have driven the Greeks
out of Asia Minor, and the results of
this victory will be felt far beyond
the actual scene of battle.
The London press correspondents
inform us that Lloyd Georges Min
istry Announced it's intention to
fight, if necessary, and use all armed
forces of the Empire to maintain the
freedom of the Dardanelles, keep the
Kemalists from Constantinople, and
prevent the Turks from robbing the
Allies of the fruits of victory"
The Turks hold very warlike and
patronizing air toward the rest of the
world. This is shown in an article
printed in the Turkish Nationalist
journal, which says, eve are today
masters of the world situation. We
are no longer at the mercy of events.
We have brought beneath our will
the policy of the entire world. History
tells of no people, who like the Turks
are such masters of their destinies.
Thus very boastful and arbitrary
attitude is taken by the Turks to the
rest of the world.
We must keep the Turk out of
Europe or the guaranty of peace can
not be given, or the Armenians and
other Christian populations cannot
be protected against absolute eXter-
mination.
Some of the work of the Americans
for the Christian orphans has been
undone by the Turks. This work was
undone when the supplies for the aid
of these starving orphans were re-
peatedly burned.
The Turkish leaders have told the
Missionary workers of the American
Board that their work is not welcome
in Turkey, either among Armenians
or Turks. The Turks have shown
that they have no sympathy with the
work America has been doing to save
the Christian orphans, or how could
they have killed the mothers and
fathers of these children? There
fore the Turks must be kept out of
Europe or the ruins of Smyrna will
only be one small instance of their
cruelty.
