In the past week our old familiar
friend, the report card, came
around and made his regular visit.
To some he was welcome, but to
others he was bearer of sad It'd
ings, and yet to everyone he could
be a welcome friend, for we make
him what he is. Our wasted min
utes in the study hall, as we'll as
our inattention in classes leave their
mark. What we need to do now is
to get busy before he comes around
again. To those whose grades were
low he should be an incentive to
better work, and those who have ga
string of E.s' should not feel too
sure of success because they might
yet fall down. The coming next
night weeks will be of great i'm
portance, for they shall determine
who will graduate. Your report
card is warning signal. The
teachers have vital interest in
their students. and the pupil should
learn this and take advantage of
his opportunities. Discouraged stu
dents should take little of DR..
Frank Cranes tonic.
M. e M. has just recently brought
to a close a very successful basket
ball season. She has won many
laurels, and lost few games. Great
benefit has resulted from our ath-
letic activities. We owe a lot to the
boys who have labored so hard for
our renown. With the coming
graduation we will lose two of our
best men, Nell and White. They
have been in athletics for three
years, not only in the basket ball
field, but also on the diamond and
track. We should not soon forget
these players, and shall watch
their college career with interest.
But in the close of the basket ball
season, we will find new interest in
the base ball field. Much prepara-
tion is being made. It has been no
ticed that the students of M. & M.
did not support base ball as they
did basket ball But the case must
be different this year. We should
learn new yells, suitable for base
ball, and turn out for the games in
such numbers as to overwhelm the
opposing team with our spirit.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventative measures.
1t is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. Pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with. Of
ten follows cold or attack of the
grip. The cold prepares the system
for the reception and development
of the pneumonia germ. The longer
the cold hangs ON, the greater the
danger. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indica-
tion of cold appears so as to get
rid of it with the least possible de-
lay. It Is folly to risk an attack of
pneumonia when this remedy may
be obtained for trifie. Sold Every

Since As per cent of Ohio taxes is
spent on education, Dr. Thompson,
of o. S. u, thinks that the commun-
ity should be vitality interested in
school problems. He says that the
school and the home are so nearly
related that the public must be
aroused from it's lethargy. He says
that the community can never af-
ford to be Indifferent to the prob
lem of the school. Therefore sup
port M. & M. in all her activities.
A certain professor has laid down
some good rules for studying ef-
fectively and efficiently. Two are
that "the student should make a
rapid review of the previous les
son." and "make rapid prelimi-
nary survey of the days assign
