The paper came out late last week
on no fault of the printers or the
editor. There was not anything to
put into the paper until we wrote it.
Now its up to the school what kind
of a paper that’t put out up here.
Its quality oi the paper that counts
and not the quantity. And quality
depends strictly upon the amount of
individual efforts expended by* the
students on your own paper. It is the
editors business to organize the
material and not to write the paper.
The paper can be filled up with cuts
and pictures, if it is not possible to
get any material to fill it up other-
wise . If you are going to make this
paper a success this term you will
have to get down and dig on it
yourself. Generally when, you are
asked for a contribution your plea
is that you have too much work.
Well the rest of us have just as many
subjects and lessons to get up as you
do. What about your paper? Will
it be successful or not? Its up to
YOU.
HARRIS-BLAIRS
The Harris-Blairs met in regular
session Monday July 12th. A good
program was rendered. The debate,
“Resolved that this school shouia
adopt some form of Students’ Self
Government. ” The negative defended
by Mesis. Henderson and Calloway
winning over the affirmative defend-
ed by Mess's. Bachle and Gentle.
A committee of the Chautauqua
Literary Society reported to the
Harris-Blair’s selection and condi-
tions of the Inter-society debate to
be held at the end of the summer
session. The question for considera-
tion will be made public in the near
future.
To the loyal members and any
visitors, let us keep posted on the
programs by reading the Bulletin.
Read these programs and think about
the questions under discussion, then
come to hear and see the arguments.
We have with us on the next pro-
gram, Prof. Birdwell who always
gives us a real worth-while talk.
Don’t miss it—come.
On program July 2 6th the debate,
“Resolved that the members of the
Harris-Blairs should turn their at-
tention towards the aquatic sports
furnished by the Riverside Resort.”
(Open to members only)
DIPLOMACY VS. INDUSTRY
“Isn’t it great to have the old
skeep-skin at last?”
“Yes, but I am wondering just how
far it will go towards keeping me
warm.”
—Cornell Widow
Verna Wilson was called to Bee-
ville on account of the illness of her
father.
Florence Young visited in the homo

day and Sunday.
CHAUTAUQUA
With some twenty members present
the society began business in the
usual way Monday morning. A
special feature of the opening exer-
cises, which were conducted by. the
Chairman, was the iniation of four
members into the “mysteries” or
Chautauquaism.
Following the opening exercises,
A. W. Meyer gave a reading, which
by its appropriateness and the able
manner n which it was rendered made
all present feel more optimistic than
is natural for the average person to
feel. Then our able critic, Mr*
Hennig, made a short talk on the
Place of Debating in the High
School. He made some good com-
parisons and vividly illustrated the
features of good argument and poor
argument in the debate.
The main feature of the program,
however, was a brief lecture given by
Mr. G. H. Sholts upon the subject
of “The Inter-scholastic League.” H6
approached this highly interesting
.■ phase of literary work at a new
■ angle, giving some personal observa-
tions, very practical to prospective
directors of pupils in that work.
First he gave a short history of the
complex system whereby the interest
of the whole state is stimulated in
debating and oratorical contests.
Some subjects for such contests were
discussed. A number of programs,
which had been rendered at different
meets recently, were read and criti-
zed. Among other things he stress-
ed the need for some more uniform
system of selecting material.
During the meeting a visit was
paid the Harris-Blair Literary society
by our Committee on Inter-Society
Debating. This visit was made in
accordance with a request from the
Harris-Blair Committee. The pur-
pose being to place the question for
debate, as agreed upon by the two
committees, before each society fo”
consideration and approval. At the
time of adjournment the Harris-
Blairs had failed to report any action
that they may have taken on the
question, whether accepted or re-
jected . The Chautauqua Society
unanimously endorsed the question as
arranged by the committees and ?s
ready to begin active preparation foi
the “impending conflict” as soon as
approval is given by the other
society.
Among other business features of
this meeting were instructions give.'(
to the social and program committees
to provide for a combined program
and social gathering. This is to be
arranged in such a way as will do
justice to the dignity of “one of tha
best literary societies in the country.”
The society set the time of meeting
for this event, which will be 6:60
p. m., July 19th. The place agreed
upon is Riverside. The committees
will work out a suitable program of
entertainment for the evening, in
which every Chautauquan will have
part. A good time is insured, and
all Chautauquans are expected to be

THE RANH
Listen! When you hear the band
begin to play, do you wish that you
were a member? If you feel the call
ot music, then that is enough
evidence that you possess the gift,
and you should begin the ^tudy as
early as possible. The Normal Band
offers you a good opportunity if you
have an instrument or if you can
secure one. It has been said that
one musician in the home is worth a
hundred on the stage. Of course the
artistic opera is enjoyed for its
musical perfection, but music in the
home with less talented friends is
enjoyed more because of the human,
warm-hearted, cordial feeding of it.
While you are here in school, learn
to play a cornet, clarinet, trombone,
01 mellophone. You will never miss
the time you spend in learning, and
on the otherhand, you will find
recreation and enjoyment in the re-
hearsals. Your home community
will be prouder of you when you re-
turn if you play an instrument in the
church choir, and you will get a
pleasure out of playing that you can
get in no other way.
We do not claim to be near per-
fection, but we are proud of the
progress that has been made and we
expect to accomplish muen during
the remainder of the summer term.
There will be a Training School Band
organized, beginning with the fan
term of the next regular session, and
we feel sure that it will be a big
success. We are looking forward to
the time when we shall have a real
professional band in the Southwest
Texas State Normal and the only
way to have it is to meet them down
at the Training School and bring
them up as they should be.
Let us all get behind our band and
make it a good one. We are very
glad to know that most of our pre-
sent members are to be with us
again next year, and we hope to add
a number of new members who can
already play, from our next year’s
student body.

casion by bringing a lady friend to

the date and place—next Monday,

He had looked all over the Science
Building to find it. As a last re-
sort he got a step ladder and was
looking upon the top shelves in the
Chemistry Laboratory.
Prof. Smith:” what are you look-
ing for?”
Bewildered Student: “I am looking
for some ‘specific gravity’. ”
