"DON'T BE A LEANER BE A LIFTER"
"Don't bo n leaner bo n lifter" said J. C. Reese first vice president
of tho board of trustees of Abilene Christian College iii his address to the
students Monday morning. Tho board of trustees has sponsored the
Organization of students and ex-students for a money-raising campaign fdr
Abilene Christian College.
Tho depressed conditions of business have affected sorely Abilene
Christian College which only a year ago moved to the present location
and is operating without an endowment.
Tho organization which has been formed is to raise ten thousand dol-
lars within tho noxt year. This ten thousand dollars is to be matched by
another ten thousand bv a philanthropic friend of tho college.
More loyal students and ex-students of Abilene Giristian College were
urged by Vice President Reese to join the organization and be niters tor
Abilerio Christian Collcgo instead of leaners.
Abilene Christian College needs every student and former' student in
theso trying times. Only a part of the eight new fire-proof buildings are
paid for and the larger part of these were by larger individual gifts. The
students of Abilene Christian College are thrown a challenge by this
friend which is going to test the mettle of every student and ex-student of
this institution.
Wo must provo to him we are loyal to A. C. C. by dding our part
to raise tho ten thousand dollars. Wo will in this way prove our loyalty
to the whole world.
o
CREDIT IS DUE OTHERS ALSO
The choosing of the basketball quintet the quartet tryouts and the
debate tryouts have eliminated many who were trying to make these teams.
-They had worked long and hard and disappointment no doubt-was keen.
It is always Uio everlasting efforts of the unhonorcd and unsung who make
possible the choosing" of the best teams.
Much credit nnd praise is due those who work hard are defeated and
yet cart go on with' a' smile and determine to try again. These who can
lose with grace are serving well their school. Although their efforts' will
not be long remembered by others the value of their services can not be
estimated.
While praising and congratulating the winners let us remember that
praise is due these others. Why not offer them your congratulations for
tho efforts they have made? Why no praise them for the good sportsman-
ship they have shown in accepting their defeat with a smile?
o
SACRIFICING INTEGRITY FOR TUITION
Abilene Christian College has too many ministerial students.
PerhaDS it would bo better and more correctly stated that there aro
too many students in A. C. C. who claim to be ministerial students.
A student may be a ministerial student by being a preacher-student
one studying to bo a minister of the gospel or by being the son or
daughter of a preacher.
All tho students who are ministerial students or who claim to be
receive free tuition which amounts to $120 a year. For their free
tuition theso students are supposed to work three hours each week.
The first sentonce of this article is incorrect and is not true.
A. C. C. does not have too many ministerial students but she does
have too many of the kind that merely claim to be ministerial
students.
Out of the more than fourscore ministerial students in school this
term only a small per cent take part in the religious activities of tho
school and the collego congregation. A larger per cent of tho persons
at the young people's meeting and mission study are students that
are not ministerial. Some of the claimants of free tuition never
attend theso meetings.
It is rank dishonesty to receive free tuition on olniming to bo a
ministerial student when the one who makes tho olaim knows that he
is not going to be a minister when ho finishes school. Some havo
made the statement thnt they are not going to bo proaehers when
they have finished their college work.
Sonio studonts roceivo free tuition claiming that their fathers
are prcachors when it is known that their fathers preach only oc-
casionally. Their fathers have a vocation by which they receive
their income and preach us a sort of avocation.
This is not the case in most instances; There aro some young
preachers and children of ministers who appreciate and deserve the
help they are given. Some have chosen the work of preaching tho
gospel for a life work and should bo commended for the- choice but
it appears to this writer thut. some are selling their integrity for a
paltry sum of one hundred and twenty dollars a year.

Sinco tho stylo of throwing pebbles
against window panes has supplanted
tho Emily Post mode of making dates
several girls havo been getting all the

over the situation only to mscovcr

Prof. McMillan lost the key to his

Maurice McMullcn after two weeks
of meditation has solved the prob-

tho man were to make a goal?" An-
swer Thero would bo no score. Since
all men would be one man ho would
havo no opponent and would bo play-
ing for exercise.

It's a cold-blooded teacher who can
grade below zero says tho Owl.
Jim Cullnr has moved across the

and down tho hill every time ho calls

say that tho affair is serious since
Jim is already learning how to cook

that Jim is merely learning to super-
vise his cooking.

and Earl fell overboard. Happily he
was rescued but In tho brief interval
of time in which tho Owl thought he
was drowning his keen-witted mind
thought of a fitting epitaph. Since it

At tho first meeting twenty-three

wondering what to expect
"Is-this Wall Street?" you ask dis-
appointedly. You can seo little dif-
ference between this- street and 'the
others surrounding it except it is pos-
sibly moro narrow than tho others. It
is indeed' Wall Street tho financial
center of tho world whero fortunes
are won and lost every hour of the
day; whero a group of men control
tho financial destiny of the nation.
Ono's mind goes back to tho crashes
of a few months ago when tho wholu
country was thrown into a financial
turmoil and wonders If it would not
be better had those twenty-four brok-
ers never organized tho stock ex-

that sptno such organization is ne-
cessary; it is tho speculation on the

Baxter Addresses
Abilene Kiwanians
Talks On Problems of Mod-
ern Youth at Meeting
Batsell Baxter president of Abilene
Christian College speaking to tho
Kiwanls club at tho Hotel Wooten
Wednesday February 4 declared that
young peoplo as a whole are-not get-
ting a squaro deal and Included in
his address soma of his observations
as a school man.
"It is my belief' he declared "that
children aro not getting a square deal
from their parents I havo seen pltl-
'ful fruits of neglect that parents
show their childron. Tho homo from
which a child comes is largely respon-
sible for what the chlld'ls. Tho rea-
son so many go astray is that the
home life is not what it -should be.
Tho parents are good people but thoy
don't show their goodness to their
children."
Baxter urged that paronts glvo
more of their attention and time to
their children. In conclusion he stat-
ed "I don't want to consure tho par-
ents too much for we are all busy;
but you can't turn tho problem of
how to handle your children over to
someone else and oxpect a good job
of it"
"Prayer" Discussed
By McMillan Sun.
Using "Prayer" as his subject at
both morning and evening; services of
tho collego church Sunday E. W. Mc-
Millan discussed tho attitude of Jesus
toward prayer along with his prayer
habits and' the examples left by his
disciples for men to follow today in
their praying.
McMillan showed that with all tho
emphasis men attach to baptism yet
there aro seven times as many men-
tlonings of prayer in the Now Testa-
ment as thero aro ofba ptism.
He. brought out a sharp contrast
which -he said exists between tho
prayers of peoplo today and as a
method of making his lesson pungent
read several questions on the subject
of prayer.
In his night sermon ho exposed the
error of somo of tho current beliefs
about prayer.
He showed in conclusion that most
of tho Important acts and decisions'
described in the Bible were accom-
panied or preceded by earnest
prayers.

LEGENDS 0FTEXAS -
.
Myths of: the Bluc-Bonnet
by T. R. Atkinson
Soveral very Interesting legends aro
connected with tho' blue-bonnet which
is Texas' state flower Tho idea of
some' kind of a- sacrifice is connected
with all' of tho different legends. Tho
Mexicans tell of a young maiden who
prayed- for rain until1 sho- was- so ex-
hausted she: dicdt Tho blue-bonnets
came as. a token that' her prayer had
been' answered.
Another' legend is that during a
great drought tho Groat Spirit direct-
ed tho Aztec Indians to offer a sinless
bolng as a sacrifice. An- innocent
maiden1 was sacrificed' on an altar of
stone. Tho blue-bonnets camo up
where- her blood ran upon the ground
Still another legend comes" from tho
Cherokee Indians of Eastern- Texas.
Once there was a fearful drought
over all tho fair state of Texas. The
great drought was followed: by a ter-
rible winter. The land' that- usually
is so mild and warm- was covered by
an icy coat of armor. All the animals
dtcdor left Tho poor Indiana- were
starving. A" great pestilence broke
out among- thonv That medicine men
prftyed day and night- to the1 Great
Spirit
The answer from tho Great. Spirit
camo at last Tho people-had sinned
exceedingly. To appease' tho wrath
of .the Great Spirit a sacrifice of. the
most cherished' possession of the tribe
must be offered;
4 A very small Indian maiden sat si
lently in. the ' council chamber when
tho tribe was told of the Great Smr
It's command. Sho held closo to her
a littlo. doll of white elk. skin. Tho
doll was clothed with the brilliant
bluo feathers of a- blue'-jay. The small
maiden well knew that she held tho
tribo's most cherished possession
- That night tho Indian girl silently
aroso from her couch of skins. Sho
.took a glowing brand from the fire
and stole out into the frosty night
Well did she know her duty: A small
fire was soon built and her most
cherished possession was consumed
in tho fliames. She took tho ashes
and scattered them to the East West
North and South according to the
instructions of the Great Spirit
Early tho next morning the tribe
of -Indians saw the earth covered with
a beautiful blue flower. It was a
token that tho Great Spirit had ac-
cepted the young maiden's sacrifice.
So the plague was stayed and the
drought broken.

Don Morris Talks
On Work Tuesday
Don H. Morris spoke in chapel
Tuesday morning on the subject of
"Work."
"Work" ho said "Is that which
makes the world go 'round and Is that
without which anyono will fall. No
man is too good to work and no man
is good enough not to work. Unless
a man works he is not useful; if he is
not useful ho is not honorable."
Morris stated that the word work
and its equivalent labor is used in
the Bible over twelve hundred times.
Several quotations wero given among
them being a.statcmont by Paul: "If a
man does not work he shall not eat."
In conclusion he explained that
work may bo pleasant by thinking of
it not as drudgery but as a game.

THE BOOK CORNER
REALISM IN ROMANTIC JAPAN
Miriam Beard
Many observers havo writ ten. of the
history tho legend the beauty and
poetry the quaintness and different-
ness of Japan. That has been tho tra-
ditional content of travel books on the
country. Tho Now Japan' needed u
new kind of observer one that could
see more than this behind tho "ori-
ental curtain."
This new Japan needed an observer '
like Miriam Beard to mako a now and
fresh report on this Post War world.
Wherever sho goes about the foco of
the world of which Bho has seen so
much sho always sees clearly and re-
cords with an honesty that is almost
l genius tho thing that is before hor;
just as it really Is.
Ono of tho greatest things that she
i makes special notice of is to tako care
always to have tho lifo of tho masqes
foremost In theso articles. That sig-
nificant cycryday lifo of the peoplo
I; that mans moro than thesogrcat poli
tical problems that bo few of us really
Understand. Lantern pageants and.
cherry blossom fetes beautiful gar-
dens and curiously lovely temples are
a part of this fortunate people's life
but this is not all.
"All oftfcesa beautiful 'things find
their placo in this book but so does
tho life of tho artisan and peasant.
The- new factory artisan and. tho. old
Btylo shop artisan still exist and they
too find their placo in this marvelous
book. The traditional pride the be-
lief of destiny and the almost greedy
ambition to excel in adopting western'
ways.
Tho author also presents a scene
of hot and. humid days in tho market
streets. Tho part of Japan that we
know so little of.
Althogether this is not just anoth-
er book on travelers' Japan but a
fresh and significant book on tho new-
est Japan glimpsed through essential-
ly American eyes of tho' keenest and
clearest Harold Miles.
