HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH?
How much is a college like
Daniel Hakcr worth to a city like
Rrownwood? And what would it
mean to l.rownwood to lose a
fine Christian college like Daniel
Raker has always been known to
he? To ascertain the value of
our college to Rrownwood would
be to no beyond all words of mor-
tal expression. And far from
material ascertation is a deeper
hidden value.
When nearly three hundred
Iiojs and K'irL; come to Rrown-
wood to live they contribute a
vast amount of natronaye to city
merchants and business houses.
During their college life a per-
son will prnbablv .spent! more
money for clothes and personal
accessories titan at any other
time in life. From every source
Daniel Hakcr students contribute
to the financial history of our
city.
Hundreds of families arc liv-
ing in Rrownwood because they
expect to send their children to
a Christian college like Daniel
Raker when they are graduated
from the high school. Possibly
other cities and other localities
are calling but the family re-
mains in Rrownwood to respond
to the call of Daniel Raker Col-
lege. During the forty years and
more that Daniel Raker has grac-
ed Hill Rillie Hill hundreds of
families have come to Rrown-
wood because of the educational
attraction in Daniel Raker col-
lege. Perhaps these familie?
would have gone elsewhere were
it' net for the dream that some
dny their children would be edu-
cated in our Christian college.
And when three hundred boys
and girls go to school every day
and read three hundred Rihles.
they create a Christian atmos-
phere which can never be denied
cf its purity. A most adequate
course in ilible and religious
paper? Why sure he would just
like hundreds of other dads are
doing. All over Tcas the Unit-
ed States and .lajinn as for that
matter. The Collegian is Heine;
enl to numerous subscribers.
the most of v. hich are men. Some
of them are former students;
others are idd and white-haired.
but never! hek"-s enjoy reading
The Collegian.
If you are the loyal kind ol
student you will want your fam-
ily to know the type and influ
ence of education here at Daniel
Raker. The Collegian voices the
opinion and shapes the policy and
activity of the campus. Through
no other medium can you pre
sent a more compact description
of Daniel Hakcr Ihnn throtiuh
our weekly newspaper.
Whenever you contribute some
thing to the paper and it is pub
lished you should take pride in
making the I act known to your
family. Your mother and dad
would be hannier than you to
read of your leadership.
A good number of the students
aie sending the Collegian home
this ear. but not near the mini-
b'jr that .' hould. Whether you
make yourself realize it or not
you ought to stnel the paper to
your lannly and there is cer-
tainly no virtue in not knowing
what vou owe to your home-folks.

sters will be man and wife.
You are all interested in youth.
Old folks may forget at times
that they were once young but
they all wish they could be so
again. The young folks ure in
the midst of the most talked-of
age of history and they know it.
The greatest indoor sport of
today is the criticism of our boys
and girls. Their clothes their
actions their very desires are
written and talked about on
every side. The critics are not
narrow and they are not pur-
posely mean. They just don't
I: now and understand the facts.
I'npns (iet Drunk
Morality right-thinking and
decent living are not things of
the past. Ideals hnve not been
thrown to the winds by the
youth of our country. Nol for
statistics say that there are more
students in colleges today than
ever before. However in all
walks of life there is a certain
small percentage of the boys and
girls the type described as the
"sheiks" and "flappers" who are
following a decidedly downward
path; but such conduct is not
confined to the youngsters. Far
from it. Business men mnke
statements daily to the effect
that from observation and ex
perience they have found there
are more middle-aged offenders
of the dry law than there are
young people.
Both in and out of our Ameri
can colleges one will find a pre-
dominance of happy joyful boys
and girls who still exist on de-
cency. The majority of the youth
today are clear-headed think for
themselves and have high ideals.
But it is not this type who get
the. publicity. It is the necking
cigarette-smoking beer drinking
crowd that make the most sen
sational newspaper stories col

STRIPES
isn't it strange how many as
sociations tho word stripes has.'
All thvough our lives this word
ha.--- appealed to us in one way
'r another. As a child tho strip-
ed stick candy took our eye and
.' o imiv.'di.'.tely began to use
every possible means to get some

tor year students have gone out' Vo noxl noticed tho strines on
the zi'bra at the cir"us and made
from Daniel Raker with a train
ing in Christianity they would
have gotten no where else in life.
When three hundred students go
1o church everv Sunday they
lend a weighing influence upon
those with whom they come in
contact.
Daniel Raker is more valuable
to Rrownwood than most people
realize. To enumerate the vast
worth of this institution would
be un endless task. We only hope
that Rrownwood people will wake
up to these material facts be-
fore it is too late. For were
Daniel Raker College moved
from Rrownwood there would
be an echoing space of empti-
ness aaginst the sky.
SEND THE COLLEGIAN TO
YOUR HOME
Students are you remember-
ing your family at home your
dad and mother and the kids?
Do you think of them often and
wish they had some way of
knowing the success you are
making at Daniel Raker? Would
n't you do something to make
them a little bit happier.' Let
us suggest you send them The
Collegian your weekly newspa-
per for the remainder of the
school term.
During the next three weeks
The Collegian is making a spe-
cial subscription rate offer good
only to students of Daniel Raker.
Through sacrificial arrangements
on the part of the paper stu-
dents may send The Collegian to
any address until the close of
school next June for the rate of
$1. Tho offer will not be good
after the duration of three weeks
from the date of this issue. The
regular subscription price is $2
per nine months but realizing
the ample spending money gen-
erally given to college students
the special rate for the remain
der of the term is being made.
Now you ask the question:
Would "dad" like to read your
known our partiality to this an-
imal by screaming aloud. ''.Moth-
er what is that? ?.le like those
pretty stripes."
Tho slripis on tho barber pole
next attracted our attention as
mother took us to get our first
hair cut. Wc screamed and cried
until she let us stand and watch
the stripes go around and
around.
Everyone during his period of
later childhood has noticed the
ciii'lcts' stripes and asked
mother to cxnlain all about them
'o the mother of tho convict
the.-e stripes mean much more
than to the nasser-by.
To the voting lady stripes has
an altogether different meaning.
When she hears this word she
immediately thinks of that new
striped dress she is going to
have while tho "jelly bean"
thinks of his red striped tie.
To s'onm the word stripes
means movo tlvin it does to oth-
ers. The fro.ihmon for instance
begins to shudder when ho hears
the word and thinks of what it
really means to hirn.
This word appeals to people
all over the world in one way or
another but its greatest appeal
is in the U. S. flag for when the
great flag is raised a whole na
tion looks on those stripes and
salutes them with tho greatest
of joy in his heart.
GOOD OLD RAKER DELL

That good old Baker bell
How glad wo are to hear it ring
Its message sweet to tell
Let's keep it here for e'er and

That everyone may learn to love

conversation for outsiders. Nat
urnlly public attention is drnwn
to this latter tvne. and the lor
mer are considered extinct. Of
which type do you belong?
Why We're Innocent
Tho sins of a few are getting
all the publicity while the ma-
jority of our boys and girls are
being unfairly criticised. Don't
consider them guilty when the
chances are they arc innocent.
And too don't forget the old Bi-
blical proverb which says "Judge
not that ye be not judged." Look
at the sins both ways and give
our youth the benefit of the
doubt. The boys and girls are
all right. The trouble is that sin
is getting more publicity. Are
you promoting greater American
youth or are you playing the
part of a critic?

This is a bit different from
tho articles which have been ap
pearing in this column. This is
students' opinions recorded in
this article for both the serious
ness and the humor.
This first one was heard in
English class.
'Hugh Stoup: "Tho English
don't have very strenuous
sports."
Pat Close: "They do golf is
their most strenuous game."
Abney McKeever: "It is? Well
I think running thirty miles is
more strenuous and they have
races over there every Satur
day."
We certainly got a kick out of
"The Little White Mule" in cha
pel the other morning.
We think that this cold weath-
er is to bo expected. Elmo Hicks
made chapel his second time of
the year the other morning.
An announcement heard in
chapel: Dr. Chandler "Tomor-
row is Thanksgiving."
Now we wonder if Dr. Chand-
ler has made the mistake of
missing threo meals before
Thanksgiving dinner a week too
soon. You know some people do
save up their appetites for the
big dinner.
But all joking aside we think
he is right about the Pep Squad
meting and practicing. We won-
der if they realize they have put
on their stunt only once this
year.
We are sure the students both
ex and present would appreciate
a good stunt on home-coming
day.
Well we still haven't said nil
we have on our mind so you'll
see this column till we get it
nil off.

Can you give us some ronson
why the physics class is always
so interested In the lecture?
Why its positively remarkable.
We don't know of nnolhcr class
half so wide awake and atten-
tive. And bright why that class
actually penetrates its brilliance
into the hall those pn?sing by
notice it.

Another thing let's be loynl
enough to Daniel Baker to tell
people the bright side of D. R.'s
situation. When they ask us we
don't need to say "Oh yes we're
sure there'll be no D. B. next
year." Instead can't wo be opto-
mistic and say instead "We're
hoping for the best and have
reason to believe our hopes may
be realized." Let's give it a trial
anyway.
.
This pitcuro tho "Cock-eyed
World" seems to have created
much enthusiasm among the stu-
dents. We understand that they
made up a large part of the au-
dience every night. We wonder
why ?
ft i!i ill
There was a suggestion hint
or something like that made in
Inst week's "As Wo Go to Press."
This had to do with a barbecue
to be given at the Homecoming.
But the Homecoming committee
has since informed there will be
none. Of course we have no
doubt but that they will treat
the ex-students to a turkey din-
ner and literally leave the pres-
ent students holding the sack.
:
Here is one about a stove. Have
you ever been in a position where
your knees were scorching and
your back freezing? Well that's
the condition you will find in The
Collegian office. For one thing
the little two-by-four stove can-
not begin to heat up that office.
And other thing the stove is not
large enough for more than one
person at a time to scorch their
knees. And besides that the
stove is in a sad condition from
being sat on so much by people
endeavoring to keep warm. If
anyone sees a large man-size
stove around anywhere will you
please hand it to The Collegian
staff?
V
Well' f nere';s nothing like' go-
ing home when we feel like it is
there? Anyway Nell doesn't
think so. Ask her.
If you haven't stopped in dis-
disgust by this time we'll try to
tell you why this column is as
bad as usual. No use blaming
it on the editor. That wouldn't
do any good and besides Ihe
would take a return crack at us
in next week's "As We Go To
Press." Of course wo could blame
it on the typist but then she
would butcher up our articles as
revenge so wo will just blame it
on the weather it cannot make
a comeback. Really though this
rain is terrible don't you thitik
so 7 If it is sunshiny next week
possibly this column will be im-
proved slightly.

THE GREAT FAREWELL
lie stood there in tho doorway
looking at her with the love light
still showing in his eyes. She
was the light of his life and he
fell that life would not bo worth
living without her. She was so
good so pure so sweet and so
lovable. But he knew that he
must make tho trip. His jour-
ney would take him away from
her; away from the lips that he
had just pressed. He heaved a
sigh as she came to him for an-
other farewell kiss. Site put her
white arms around him; their
lips met in a kiss that meant
good-bye. Ho finally tore himself
away from her and dashed out
on the street ; aye he was going.
They were a newly wedded cou
ple and ho was going down to the
corner grocery store to get a box
of breakfast food and a bottle of
milk.
Ivis: I wonder how long I
could live without any brains?
Hendrickson: I don't know
but lime will tell.
