Zuppke Is Entertainer.


When the Illinois foot ball eleven
completes it's schedule of games and
the players have hung up their moles
skins, so called. and have started to
dig into their studies. alumni still have
something TO which to look forward.
They have the thrilling prospect of
Robert Zuppke. the coach. facing them
from the speakers platform at Winter
banquets
Zuppke's post-prandial pyrotechnics
are as titillating as any touchdown
dash that Red Grange ever made.
When he warns up 10 his subject and
gets to hitting on all six his audi
ences forthwith become his creatures,
TO be moved to laughter. dissolved into
tears. harried into fierce enthusiasm,
as his mood or fancy dictates.
They say that a Zuppe speech has
never been printed in full or even in
good part. He never prepares his ora
torical flights ahead of time and no
stenographer can keep pace with his
machine-g gun fire of wit. sarcasm, ridi.
cule. humor and philosophy
What can be done to catch winged
sentences here and there, as IT were,
on the fly. game we'll worth the
candle because Zuppke in his speeches
says many things that deserve not To
perish upon the tympanums Of his
auditors.
Few of His Thoughts. =
Here are a few plumed thoughts
netted at the recent Illinois dinner at
Chicago just before Zuppke left for
California: :
The aim of our university should
be the unfolding OF personality"
Opportunities which make men
strive to excel must be created"
Because of the need for more OPP
portunities than the curricula pro.
vide. extra-curricular activities have
been devised
Because play is a natural express
sion of the growing body, athletics has
become the most important extra-cur
ricular activity" 80
"Sportsmanship helps to level the
rough spots in the path Of life, but
craftsmanship must be practiced, not
merely talked about" =
Most of our university courses
teach the theory Of life, while some Of
our extra-curricular activities intro.
duce the human element and thus
realize the practice of life
THE tremendous interest so appan
ent in our modern foot ball game ID
based on the human instinct of self
preservation"
AN ideal image of self-preservatior
is a clean healthy battling hero, and
because of that hero urge, which no
theories can erase. the foot ball Idol
becames the temporary idol of the
masses ~
But athletics, like life. is not an urs
mixed blessing"

EOTHER'S DAY.

Mothers Day will he widely
observed throughout the nation
May 8. Probably no day set a.
part for unofficial observance has
had such extensive recognition
in so short a time. The answer
is obvious. No difference of re-
ligious faiths, no geographical
frontiers, no chauvinistic race
pride can qualify the universal
affection man has for motherhood.
Only where woman is a chat
tel, will the appeal OF Mothers
Day fail to reach. Elsewhere it
has required only the suggestion
to make Mothers Day an occa-
sion of devotion and alteration.
So pervasive is the spirit of
Mothers Day that those who have
>nlv her memory to cherish OBJ
serve the day with the same pro-
oriety as those whose good for
cunes it is to have a mother to
embrace or to honor by message
or floral sybol. Blessed is that
son or daughter whose privilege
it will be On Sunday to be in the
presence of their mother. Cursed
by tn. If own ingratitude will be
the son or the daughter, who neg
lects the opportunity to pay hon.
age to her.
Satisfied as the average mother
is with so little, no child will let
Sunday pass without in some fash
ion letting her know of the love
IN which she is held.

Our nation is learning how to

The Rose.

Roses Will bloom again soon,
and the growers thereof will find
it no hardship to rise early and
labor late over their beloved
bushes, nor any expense too
great to bring these blooms to
perfection.
Ask the rose-groWer why
this is SO, and he will reply some
thing like this. "Other flowers
seem to have limits beyond which
their culture cannot be pushed.
But the rose is the flower of in
finite possibilities. No matter
aow perfect one bloom may seem,
we can safely say that a still
more perfect bloom may be a.
chieved. There seems to be no
limit to the culture of this Won
lerful flower"
The rose lover realizes the truth
Of this general statement has
stumbled upon the Infinite among
the flowers. The Master Cultur-
list is pressing toward the same
revelation of beauty and harmony
in the life IF man. The rose is
the symbol Of life.
Walt Whitman used to say that
ne found letters from God drop
ped everywhere along the street,
and if some were passed by igno-
rantly or unconsciously, others
would promptly come.
The rose In it's message of in
finite perfection, beauty and
growth, is such a letter.

FLEA BITTEN
By Maynard Sutherland

Bart, the only other witness
submitt> d by the defence, reiter-
ated the innocence of the accused,
declaring chat the dog had lived
in close proximity to sheep all his
life and that he had never been
known to modest one. He stated
moreover that it was his honest
opinion that the track had been
"Doctored" to resemble Drum S
foot since "Jase had allus seemed
to have gruqge ag'tins me" In
reply tc the Colonel's questions
he asserted that on the day yase
had tried to kill the dog, he had
not seen a trace of blood on
Drums coat, or wisps Of wool in
his teeth, and he declared that
he undoubtedly would of seen
one or the other of these damn'ng
bits of evidence if the dog had
been guilty as accused.
Under Rockby's cross-examin-
alton he repeated that he and
Jase had not been on friendly
terms for many years, and under
pressure he finally admitted that
Jase had more than once made
oyertures of peace by friendly
visits to his brothers. house, but
that none Of these visits had ever
been returned.

Good Resolution

What would happen if an en-
ploye of a bank should tell it's pa
irons to do their banking business
elsewhere, or if a salesman in a
store should whisper to the GUS
toners that prices were lower
and quality higher at another
mercantile establishment? In Ell
Their case the dioloyal employee
would lose his job and the respect
of all.
But isn't the citizen who
trades outside of town just as
disloyal to his home town as the
employee who deprives his en-
ployer of business? Those who
buy by mail or go away to shop
are telling the patrons of their
town that they could do better
elsewhere. They take away from
the home merchants not only
their own business but that of
others.
Like bargain-hunting and win
housekeeping, buying at home,
with practice, becomes a good
habit just as out-of-town trading
grows upon one as a bad habit
And it is feared that most mail
order and other foreign buying
is from force of habit rather than
from any hope of profit or gain
in satisfaction. Seldom is there
legitimate exscuse for trading
elsewhere than at home.
What would be the dividends
payable to Clintwood, if every

Sc, in 1924 of 112, in 1924 of 14O, in
1926 of 1911, the high school enroll
ment to November, in the 1926 q
session, was 239. 1t may be noted
that the small high school enroll
nent has more than anything
else reduced Dickenson's index

For several years Dikenson's
community leagues have aided
to equip the buildings, support
the efforts of teachers and officials
and improve the general chool
morale.
With 80 community leagues in
1925 reported in the Annual Re
port of the Cooperative Education
Association, Dickinson was sur
passed by only two other counties.
Dickinson also reported 10 junior
leagues. To aid in standardiz-
ing the 80 schools in 1925 with
nine-month terms, in supplement-
ing salaries, in providing equip
ment and supplies, and otherwise,
the leagues contributed over 3d.
500 to improve and mair tain the
local schools in that year.
Only within recent sessions has
any serious attempt been made to
have any organized athletic work
in Dickinson schools Basket
ball teams are now found in the
schools, and other competitive
games are played. Attendance
has been improved by the intro
duction of athletics while the
characteristics of good sportman-
ship and fair play have been de-
veloped along with finer school
spirit.
While Dickenson's recent eff
fort to improve her schools have
not yet been appreciably reflected
in her general index number,
there are various high sptos of
achievement and effort that are
worthy of reference.
l. With no county paper to
broadcast its plans and inform
the citizens of the needs of their
schools, in the fall of 1924 the
Teachers Association of the coun
ty undertook to publish a school
paper. The school Forum. Thru
the medium of it's columns the
faults and needs of it's schools
were expressed, and it is felt that
much of the current interest in
the county's schools has been a.
reused in this Way:
2. A high school survey was
undertaken In 1925 to determine
the prosr eets and plans for cen
trallzed and efficient high school
work for the entire county. The
survey committee recommended
three senior high schools for the
county. One is the Memorial
High School of Clintwood. The
others are to be built at Haysi
and near Nora. A survey of the
elementary schools is being made
by the division superintendent as
basis for consolidation schemes
when the roads are developed e.
nough to permit this.
3. Vocational work in Agricul-
ture is now offered in the Memo
'ial High School, the plan being
to expand the work from year to
year.
A. Near three-fourths of the
pupils are to have nine months
work in 1927, while the Board
plans a minimum term of eight
months for ali schools beginning
with the 1928 session.
5. A senior in the Memorial
High School won the Statewide
essay contest for nigh school pu-
pills on Hampton Roads; An AS
set of Virginia" in 1926, winn-
ing the $4,000 prize over approx
5000 cor. es ANTS.
6. A community and school
history of each different school IS
being compiled by the teachers,
