Editorial
What is the purpose behind your education? Is it the gaining of
social associations and advantages, the obtaining of professional
training, or the acquiring of knowledge ? I may say, that your edu-
cation is incomplete if any one of these purposes alone is your aim.
Npt any one of them is sufficient within itself. It is intensely selfish
for one to make the sole purpose of the qollege career scholarship,
frpm which only personal advantages and honor accrue without con-
tributing to the success of his school an^Tfie Happiness of his fel-
low-classmen. What does it profit you if you gain all knowledge
and have no friends? On the other hand, it is not only selfish but
futile to think only of pleasures and social advantages of college.
The necessity of an education is often disputed by certain shallow
thinkers. They comment, "Look what that uneducated man has ac-
complished." They do not realize that he was successful in spite of
his lack of education rather than because of it. He probably would
have been proportionately greater had he had an education of the
right kind. Others attach too much of a monetary value to college
training. Education should be the ideal preparation for life. You
as a student should be well-rounded. You should gain an adequate
professional training, be observant, and participate in all the advan-
tages that surround you in college, and be careful to cultivate friends
through their admiration and understanding of you. Some say that
the college of today tends to the destruction of the individuality. But
is it not as important to raise the standard of the mass as it is to have
a greater number tof individualists with the lower standard of the
mass? . However, a well justified opinion is that the great individual-
ists will survive this tendency of the college and possibly gain a great-
, er development through it.
THE MUMPS
A mighty enemy has invaded the
campus of John's Institute, and
has laid siege to many of the in-
habitants. This enemy is no res-
pecter of persons and attacks the
fair and the unfair sex alike. When
this enemy succeeds in capturing
some innocent person, he im-
mediately takes the victim to his
stronghold, thie hospital. Here
the victim is carefully guarded un-
til the term of imprisonment has
expired. One of the most horri-
ble'things about this disease is
that it attacks tlie jaws and re-
tards; the victim's ability to eat,
which is a very important part in
most college students' lives.
While a person is afflicted with
this malady his face closely re-
sembles the face of his early an-
cestors who jumped from one tree
to the other and didn't dream of
the great part they would play in
the evolution of man (according
to Darwin.)
This disease seems to be slightly
uncomfortable to the patient,, but
if anyone wants to find out the
best method of catching the mump
just ask anyone who has had them.
O. W. L. S. ENTERTAINED
COULDN'T KEEP HIM DOWN
A Tarletonite , visiting in Ar-
lington boasted about Tarleton's
pep and superiority until his
friends became tired of it. They
. loaded him to the sleeping point
with alcohol and carried him to a
cemetery and let him down into
a newly dug grave, where he slept
through the night. After awak-
ening next morning he climbed out
and looked around. All was still.
"I'll be blowed," he exclaimed.
"It's the resurrection morn and
I'm the first man up. Tarleton is
still ahead."

DIBJA?
Say, didja ever go on a basket-
ball trip and lose the first game,
and when you went back to the ho-
tel, the gang was determined to
win the next game and when the
gang was in bed yeu heard the
cop blow his whistle and you got
up and; rolled up the bed cover and
threw it out the window, thinking
you had made a goal and then you
went back to bed when the cop
blew his whistle again? Say, did-
ja? Suds did.

Misses Prentiss and Vic Looney
spent the holiday with Miss Walker
at her home in Rockwall.
Valentine, the season of hearts,
was chosen as the time for a cer-
tain group of boys to'express their
feelings for the O. W. L. S. Could
there have been a better time than
Valentine, or a better way to ex-
press affection (?) or to mend
broken hearts than through a great
feast at Mrs. Mothershead's? By
eight-fifteen the guests began to
arrive, and by eight-thirty their
hearts were beating to the music
produced by Fredl Phillips. Then
the doors were opened into the din-
ing room, where everything was
beautifully decorated in red and
white. The ones who found their
places at this spread were Max,
Anna -Lois, Mary Deane, Shorty,
Hortense, Deatoii, Madge, Ken-
neth, Sam, Hazel Joe, Margaret,
Patsy, David, Lucille, Suvella, Jack
Sue, Jess, Verne, Clay, Dot, Cau-
tious, Peanut, Lurlyne, Miss Loon-
ey, Mr. Moore, Miss McDonald
and Mr. Robertson. Miss McDon-
ald was responsible for the plan-
ning of the good things to eat.
LES LUNNETTES
The Les Lunnettes were enter-
tained on the afternoon of Feb-
ruary the ninth with a theatre par-
ty. Despite the sleet, we were all
there.
After the show we were carried
to Holt's Drug Store, where lovely
refreshments of cake and ice cream
were served. The Valentine idea
was carried out in the refresh-
ments and decorations.
Those present were the hostesses,
•Adeline and Leatha, the club mem-
bers and the following guests:
Hope Corbett, Maurine Smith, Co-
retta; Goodwin and Hula Mae How-
erton.

CIIILDREN'S RECITAL
On the evening of February 15
a program was given by the chil-
dren of the Fine Arts department
in the college auditorium.' The
ability of the children made the
entertainment very interesting for
amateur work and displayed the
careful training given each.
■ The participants of this pro
gram were Paul Homeyer, Esther
Homeyer, Bettye Mae Kay, Jimmy
Ellen Nix, Helen Gearreald, Dor-
othy Davis, Katherine Deering,
Kathleen George, Ilva Louise Tre-
witt, Jennie Vern Cromwell, Em-
ma Lee Story and Verdie Browning
THE DEBATE
According to the announcement
made last Wednesday morning, a
tryout was held to choose the two
best debaters to represent Tarle-
ton this spring. Accordingly, four
boys entered the tryout. They
were Lester Smith, Will Kurt I,
Robert Acock and Ross Jenkins.
The subject was one of national
importance, in that it' deals with
education. It was, "Resolved,
That a Department of Education
should be established with a sec-
retary in the Presidents cabinet."
The debate was spirited and in-
teresting to those who attended',
but the deplorable thing was only
about twenty persons attended, out
of over seven hundred students
and teachers.
Lester Smith and. Will Hurtt
won the decision.
Robert Acock and Ross Jenkins
had not prepared their material to
the point of delivery to their abili-
ty, partly through lack of time and,
we might say, lack of appreciation'.
Smith and Hurtt are to be com-
mended, and the entire college
wishes them success and honor.
Work hard and win honor for Tar-
leton and for yourselves.
GIRL SCOUTS
Our college has quite an inter-
esting and beneficial new asset.
This is in the form of a Gills'
Scout Troop. Miss Fellman took
Girl Scout training in the UniverT
sity under Pauline Wherrey, who
is now a national regional director-
Miss Fellman, as captain, has or-
ganized the troop. Mrs. TQm Don-
nell, Mrs. Ramey and Miss Emm?
Buck are the advisory committee.
There were forty-one girl$ out at
the initial meeting. This troop
plans to receive beneficial instruc-
tion and to enjoy themselves.

TOWN TOPICS
Even though we all did have to
stay at home this week end, we had
a good time.
Mary Deane and Margaret spent
the week end,out in town at Mrs.
Joe Price's—something unusual.
Mildred, Erna, Lynn and Polly
spent the week end,with near rel-
atives—in fact, I think it was
their parents.
Ruth and Esther Sue visited in
Cisco during the holidays.
We all went to the game Satur-
day night and that certainly was a
grand and glorious game.
We didn't do anything especially
so must sign off.
We are for you, Plowboys—fight.
"Didja ever think spring had
come and take off your winter
socks and put on summer ones and
then take a bad cold? Say, Did-
ja? Carl McKelvy did,"
