1t Is true these State troops are

the District Guard 1t Is entirely
different. IS the local government
has no control whatever. The

the President who can call the Dis

Local pride has long been re-
sponsible for the urge that an ar

Guard. The accommodations, such
a. they have been, have been al
ways nothing short of q disgrace.
The District is proud Of the con-
tributions in military strength it
has made in every national emer-
gency. 1t is proud both OF the
large percentage and also Of the
fine record made by these men. To
provide military training for our
young men in a modern and ample
armory is local and Federal prob
lem long overdue for solution.

Although he may not always be
understood, he is original, sees
more in the world, and gets more
out of life than we. He may not
be lost even in jungle for he sees
beauty and the unusual.
An individual may be judged by
the manner in which he faces his
problems:
(1) One kind-sees how Others
deal with it and follows; sees a
problem which has not been attach
ed by others and drops it.
(2) Another comes upon every
problem with the belief that some
thing can be done about it and that
he is the one to do it.
Some seek to be original and do
much because they believe in doing
much. Others are original and do
not realize it. These people we Of

sensible and are those whom this
world should admire, and be CRATE
full for all the originality they put
into it.

Required Readings

Throughout high school every
student is required to make book
reports. Like many other require
ments, they are easily put off until
the last week before reports come
out. Some ambitious pupils read
ahead, but there is usually a grand
scramble by the majority. If a
child stays up reading a book when
he should be in bed the parents
fume, Il declare, I don't know how
he's going to get any sleep with
that school work to do" But this
opinion is not rightfully gotten.
These required readings are those
which should be read by all peo-
pie. Suppose we didn't read any
Shakespeare in school. Wouldn't
we be considered illiterate? The
same applies to our other readings.
We should at least know how plays
are written if we don't have a
thorough knowledge of the char
acters and the acts. If we read
these books in school, then we ac-
quire liking for them and often
continue to read the same high
quality literature after we finish
school. So by these points we find
that those book reports" have a
decided advantage, that of broad
ening knowledge.

True HumOr
The brand of humor that every
one truly likes and enjoys is no
ticably lacking in the conversation
and literature of today. In con-
versations, humor prevails in .'un-
wise" wise cracks, and in glibness
of tongue, while in our modern
books and numerous magazine ar
ticles, humor is bitter and sarcas-
tic. The feature writer's in our
newspapers seem to delight in the
sort of humor that pokes fun at
certain notables, and satirizes both
their private and public life. They
enjoy the gentle art of snooping,
and the more cutting and gossipy
their writeups, the greater the fun.

Watching q Baseball Game

Spring is the season in which
baseball is the chief sport. Our
school has a number of home
games scheduled and it is quite
worth your time to watch these
games.
The most intently interested in
the games are the little boys who
watch in awe as their hero goes up
to bat. When ball is sent out of
the bounds, the little boys feel a
moment of Importance as they
throw the ball back to one of the
big players.
The next most important. spec
tators are the parents of the play
ers, or other relatives, who beam
with pride If their brother or son
makes a homer, and don't mind
telling the person standing next to
them that they are related to the
player who just made the home
run.
There are always a number Of
older boys at the games, who try
to tell others around them how
they would play the game at GER
tain points, yet we never see these
boys on the team, SO the players
must know their game best.
There usually is group Of girls,
who merely go to the games for
social reasons, and there is also
another group who are really in
terested in the game itself.
The games are very interesting,

A visit to q Business College

Last Friday it was the good for
tune of the Commercial Class to
visit the exhibit at a business col
lege in Wilmington.
Many interesting things were on
exhibit. There were artistic de-
signs made on the typewriter and
by shorthand characters. There
were penmanship papers showing
writing before and after taking
the course. Electrical typewriters
were demonstrated by several stu
dents. A voice magic machine was
on display. 1t was a device by
which you could tell what your
voice sounded ike on the other end
of telephone. 1t was the only
one of its kind in the world and
had been on display in only a few
cities.
The 1887 champion typist was at
the exhibit and gave demonstra-
ton. She won the championship
by tipping 120 words a minute for
fifteen minutes. The mayor of
Wilmington also gave a short in
teresting talk.
Many schools throughout Mary
land and Delaware were represent
ed in the exhibit.
Girls and boys of the college
took visitors through the school.

both students from Smyrna, show
