THE GIRLS SHOULD PLAY With All respect for our Superi endent of Schools, C. C. Bachr in, who is a deservedly poular educator, we differ from him in the ‘ matter of the girls’ basket ball team. The gills’ team in our local schools is not allowed to plav in public and as a consequence cannot meet any 0? the girls’ teams from other schools. Nappanee, Warsaw, Mentone, and numen us other schools have teams con p A std of the fair sex and their playing so far as we can hear has brought n’o ill effects either to their health or to their morals—in fact their health has been benefited as any person’s physique will be benefited by proper exercise. Properly constructed gymasium suits cannot be an offense to anyone’s modesty. The few ill-as-sorted ones whose morals are so perverted that their eyes are continually searching for something that will gra ify their morbid sensuality need not be taken into consideration. Prof. Bachman undoubtedly had what he considered good and sufficient reasons for prohibiting the girls’ plav i) public but we believe these reasons are unfounded and not in keeping with the progressive school spirit of modern times. Half of the benefit of athletics is derived from contests of mind, strength, and skill and these three factors can only lie employed successfully in real games acd not in practice skirmishes. IS OUR GRAMMAR DEGENERATING? While Th» writer is not old e ugh to speak authoritively on th gramm&r spoken twenty-five or tl <rty years ago we do know that tl English language is written w li less regard for correctness tl 1 obtained then. The year’s fl of the Svraccse Enterprise p sted thirty-nine years ago con* ti ed letters and contributions fr ti numerous people in this vicini i and the articles were marvels of good grammar and pleasing con-st-uction—fa fact in those days to write other than proper English was to court instant and voluminous criticism. In those days the spelling of a single word was often wrangled and-argued over; nowa-

days spelling has developed into a j bit or miss affair, and punctuation ' and construction is unknown by ninty-nine out of a hundred people.■ This in our boasted superiority in modern educating methods. No one thing contributes so much to success as the ability to speak and write pleasing English and of all thei>resent day studies it is the most neglected or at least one would so believe after reading a letter or communication written by the average person. A DIFFERENT LIFE Few Persons, perhaps, realize the change that has taken place in the life of Woodrow Wilson since he entered the white-house at Washington. At that time he had his entire family with him. Today he occupies that great pile of brick and stone with only one member of his once happy family left to him. The wife, who was his chum and helpmate for so many years, has passed forever beyond the shadows; two of his daughters have been married, and he is left with onlv one daughter to cheer and comfort his otherwise busy life. It is no wonder that he shrinks from the public gaze and seeks forgetfulnessl in his own unhappiness in work,' work, work. Were we able to read the heart of this man we would undoubtedly discover that honor and position do not fulfill all the requirements of life, by any means, j Every man longs for the home-lifel sympathy no matter in what posi- j tion he may be placed. THE GOLDEN RULE It is impossible fur anyone to 1 find a better precept to live by , i than the golden rule. Women may • i have their clubs, men may join e ■ lodge and young people may enter I into the various frivolities of life! ' but after all there is nothing tha» ( gives the genuine satisfaction in I life like service to someone else It isn’t necessary that a person be poor in order to be in want. Thou sands of people in the world today who have wealth and position in society a r e hungry for a little bit 0' love, the genuine stuff that cbmes from the heart. All you have to J do is to look around you and you will find hearts aching for sympathy.l In The coming distribution of your Chris'mas presents you should I simply Isj common sense. Please remember that there are no Christ1r as obligations. That is the wrong' spit it in which to give, for Christ-' mas is a time of free will. It isn’t; 1 necessary to empty your purse in .order to “pay back’’ those who 1 may have at some time sent you ’ something. -"eam. 1 =x • Every Pubusher knowns as well as he knows his name that it is the local newspaper advertising that accomplishes results.
