ers College is the first college in <;
Texas to introduce skating as a form <>
of recreation. During the early part .,
of the spring term one of the basket- ] [
ball courts in the girls’ gymnasium < >
was converted into a skating rink. A ..
maple floor was laid and properly “
treated, producing an excellent flout <'
for skating. During the spring tern <>
skating proved to be a popular form ’ [
of recreation. Three afternoons each * J
week the floor was available for use
by the girls, two for boys, and one , |
for boys and girls; and one night re-
served for skating parties.
Notwithstanding the hot
and the lack of encouragement on the
part of some, there has been consid
erable demand for skating privileges
by the summer session students
Skating was introduced only for re-
creational purposes and cannot be
taken as physical education.—Colleg<

thing in the plans of the institution
Arrangements have been made to in-
struct over 3000 farm people in all
phases of agriculture and rural home
life by the instructors and specialists
of the A. <£- M. College and other na-
tionally prominent leaders in the im-
provement of agrarian life and work.
Everyone will be admitted to the
College on an equal basis, regardless
of advance preparation—boys
girls, men and women. The
now set is July 27 to August I.
ery facility of the College will
turned to their benefit, including the
dormitories, ftiess hall, classroom?
and laboratories, teachers and spec-
ialists, livestock and crops. The
minimum charge for living accommo-
dations will be made, making it pos-
sible for families to live here for that
I week almost as cheaply as at home.

Prof. H. H. J. Fling, head of the
department of education. East Texas
State Teachers College, will conduct
a Tri-County Teachers Institute
the city of Greenville, beginning
September 7, and continuing through
the 11th, the counties represented
being Hunt. Rains and Rockwall.
County Superintendent G. L. Patil-
lo, Judge Smiley of Rains county,
and Judge Reese of Rockwall coun-
ty have announced the following
workers in the institute:
H. H. J. Fling, head educational de-
oa-tment, East Texas State Teachers
College. Commerce, conductor.
J. G. Flowers, principal
School, East Texas State
college, Commerce, instructor in in-
termediate department.
T. Taylor Broun, bead geography
East Texas State Teachers College,
Commerce, instructor rural depart-
ment.
Miss Mary Gilchrist, critic teach-
er Training School, East Texas State
Teachers College, Commerce, instruc-
tor primary department.
All the above instructors have re-
ceived degrees from a standard col-
lege, which Insures a very high type
instruction in every department se-
lected.
It is expected that a large number
will be in attendance and provision
is being made to meet every demand
made upon the Institute, said County
Superintendent Pattillo.
Numbered with the traditions am’
customs which have long ago been
laid away with lavender is the form-
er conservation practiced by men in
their haberdashery. The old reti-
cence of the man to appear tn public
wearing gay colors, even ax ties, has
just disappeared.
A gradual ascent of the color scale
from black, dark blue and gray has
led male attire into the pastel shades
With the coming of "balloon” trou-
jc.s one sees boys strolling down the
streets with trousers in pale mauve
delicate browns, poudre blue ami
fair.t lavenders, one leg of whicn
would make almost any girl a fash-
ionable skirt.
But suits are not the only meta-
morphosed articles of men’s wear
Shirts are now sold in all sorts of
materials from rough cottons to sheer
silk crepes. A cerulean blue, rose
pink, tan, purple or green shirt in
solid colors is not amiss this season
In stripes and checks there are elabo-
rate combinations of well-blended
tones. The mode of wearing an elab-
orately embroidered monogram on
the breast pocket has only lately be-
gun to wane.
Ties, hose and silk kerchiefs
bought in harmonizing shades,
cardinal red tie with socks of identi-
cal color peeping from under the
trousers and the border of a match-
ing handkerchief coyly pulled out oi
the breast pocket are favored acces
sories for the properly clothed man.
The problem of men’s millinery
too, has grown. The day of the ubl
quitous derby In winter and almost
uniform straws in spring and summe
is gone. No longer are caps a mere
protection from the elements; elabo-
rated with tucks and gathers and
pleats they have become things ci
undeniable beauty. Straws are manu-
factured in innumerable shades and
patterns and garnished with varicol-
ored bands of differing widths. The
wide-brimmed, floppy panama is a
relative of the garden hat for wom-
en. Felts and fedoras for winter
wear offer as varied fields for selec-
tion in the fall.
With such drastic and sensational
modifications in the sartorial cus-
toms of man one cannot but wonder
what will come next. Will the mod-
ish man of tomorrow wear embrold-
eied collars, lace-trimmed shirs:
hair ribbons or fancy, embellished
trousers?—Campus Chat.

the aisles roped off?”
Pa; ”8o the bridegroom can't get
away, my son.’’
Two popular students-were overheard discussing the pres-
state of affairs the other day. One of them, a man of possible
forty years experience in worldly affairs said. “I can't imagine
what we are coming too. Nobody takes an interest in the
worthwhile things." The younger of the two. a man of twenty
five years, calmly said, “Wei], I can not see your point ot
view. If we are not progressing why have quit riding in
an ex-cart, wearing homespun clothing and eating dried heel?’
This is but a typical conversation. Men are prone to long
for the good old days, which by way of explanation were not
so good. The things we do today, our forefathers would have
done had they moans and ability to have put it over. No man
would care to live in an unscreened house, drink creek water
and drive an ox team. Morally we are bolding out own, so why
should we spend our time worrying over a few startling inci-
dents which are gaining so much publicity in the headlnes of a
few big daily newspapers.
Dear Editor;
I want to express my opinion
the subject of, "Girls Eears are seen
i tbink it Is perfectly
for
their presence at the party and we
hope you felt like you were at your
own entertainment, as It was attend-
ed by the members of the "College
Sunday School Class” and by mem-
bers of the B Y. P. U. We want yon
to always feel at home in the Sundav
school, B. Y. P. IT. and at all enter-
tainments that the B. S. U. will have.
There is a bright prospect for the
B. S. U. work this summer. We feel
like we have somebody that can pct
the work over in a Christ-like man-
ner. Many of you have already Ti«t
Miss Loyd and heard her talk. If
you have heard her once, we are sure
you will want to hear her again. You
are welcome at every service so why
not enjoy the treat while you have
the opportunity.
Miss Loyd will conduct study cour
ses it B. Y. P. U. and B. S. U. work
at night, from seven to eight, the lat-
ter part of this week, Thursday. Fri-
day and Saturday nights of this week
ar.d ending next week. You will miss
a treat if you do not take one or more
of these courses. The courses are
free, only cost your time, they will
help you in your future work; they
will better fit you for more effiicent
service.
We want to have more entertain-
ments before the summer is over;
we want you to attend the College Bi-
ble class taught by Dean Wray. We
want you at the B. Y. P. U. at the
Baptist church; we want all to tune
in.
Again." i think it is perfectly all
right for a girl to cut her Lair any
way she wants too, regardless ot
what the editor or other people do
say, or think. There Is public opin-
ion everywhere and there always
will be so why let it worry you. If
a person Is more comfortable with*
her ears showing let them show and
give every one the right to say what
they please. My personal opinion is
this: l-et girls cut their hais as
they please because life Is short anJ
people are entitled to all the comfort
thhey can get during their time
here.” However, some girls would
look better with their ears covered
up, but should you have the nerve
to tell them? No, So why worry
about other people when we are sup-
posed to have other things to do?
But. I will practice what I preach
ar.d get to studying my tomorrow*?

Every age has had its |>ersonages whose chief desire war to
inconvenience their fellows. These human trouble niakeis
have from time immemorial proved themselves to be bores ot
the most unpleasing type. Modern scientific invention' have
added appreciably to the ways these retarders of progress ply
their trades, but the most deplorable means of tipplying their
art is over the telephone. They call you from an interesting
Itook for a conversation, a sense of politeness prevents
hanging the receiver on the hook; you listen moving first
fot and then the other, misery is yours, bull in spite of your
pleadings they continue to monoplize your time anti it you
hang up they call you later to tel) you their opinion ot the dis-
courteous act. Your already fagged nerves rebel and you tell
them a few things which probably does not show gentlemanly
politeness on your part and will probably make you an enemy
for life. We should not attempt to monoplize the time of any
[»erson especially in a telephone conversation as we can never
tell how we are distracting them from an interesting piece of
necessary work and at the most we cause a certain depreciation
of interest. —

The East Texan is a school paper
and every person in school should be
interested in It. Not only in reading
it, but also in editing it. Every
school paper has a purpose and thr
purpose of the East Texan can be
expressed in these words, tafen from
the English Journal, March. 1925.
“A school paper or publication ha.-
many reasons for existence. It pro-
vides a medium of expression for al'
members of the student body; 1'
serves to depict and relate all school
conveying to others a knowledge ot
activities; it supplies a method oi
our endeavors and achievements; it
helps us to learn to know our fellow
students, and unifies our thought?
and efforts in all our work;
creates an indefinable spirit and
necessary morale unattainable
through other catlvltles, it inspires
and encourages us to bigger and bet-
ter achievements.”.
The management of the East Tex-
an will be glad to have articles for
the paper written by any student in
school. This paper is your paper, sc
if you tbink of any news write it on
a piece of paper and hand it to Ger-
aldine Richards. Elizabeth Dilling-
ham or slide It under the door of thr
office.
flee for East Texan mall and
item can be left there. We will
predate it.
Pictures form of a podgy politician, cigar firmly
a smirk of false good fellowship on his oily lips, but
piggy eyes agleam with money greed. Or perhaps he’s lean,
hungry, hawk-eye—the “drifter’’ of the circus grounds. Again,
he may be dapper, well worded, hut sly. He offers shares in
various highly praised companies. You get their paper, and he
gets your money. Varied forms the grafter takes, but always
accompanied with the desire for something-for-nothing. A
dreary picture, is it? But many such can lie found n our past,
anti even present, every day life.
Are these the only grafters—rather fabulous people who
rob Mr. Taxpayer of Ids money, and sometimes get notoriously
caught? What about these everyday people who “borrow” a
pencil, with no thought of returning it? Paper, knives, books,
and tlic like go the same way. Drinks are “hummed,” shows
are “carged.” Perhaps these gentle grafts, showing some ma-
terial gains to the victor anti a corresponding loss to the vic-
tim, are not intended; they may lie tine to carelessness, merely
accidental. ------
These forms are mild ami harmless compared to another.
Have yon heard the boast, “Yeh. I talked him into raising my
gratle five points,” or, “Flatter ’em. Feet! their vanity.” 1
get better marks that way.” Perhaps you’ve met the “yes-
man' and “hootlicker” who hopes to get a few extra, and un-
earned points? How would you classify these as yet unnamed
types of illegal gain .’
Who loses in these cases ? In the better known form of
graft, Mr. Taxpayer is the giver of the money, therefore the
loser. In this case, the instructor is the giver, but does he
lose? The student, if he may lie called that, gains a few addi
tional points—What does he lose ? He loses in the desie to
work ? He loses in self respect; he loses in the respect of others;
he loses the ability to do for himself.
After al), is the gain worth what it costs?
