Of course. in emphasizing the necessity of regarding the class—room as the primary social group, it must not be understood that other groups are to be discouraged. By no means; but let this be the rule, that no group of any sort shall be tolerated which is not under the direct supervision of the school authorities, and which does not in some way contribute to the general welfare of the student body. How this general welfare may be furthered by class-room group is suggested by Stout. in his book “The High School", p. 234, when he says that “wherever possible the results of class-room work should be put to some school use. as a means of furnishing larger opportunity for expres- sion.” But. “all work and no play makes jack a dull boy"; and there is no high school where there will not be some spontaneous socialization taking place, outside of that absolutely essential for the achieve- ment of the purposes of the school. All high school pupils have more or less of leisure time which will be spent in some way, and a large part of it in some form of association with their fellow-students. The problem of the teacher then becomes that of so guiding and directing these activities that they tend to promote rather than injure the best interests of the school. There seems to be a general consensus of opinion that all so- cieties of a semi-secret nature. such as for instance. Greek letter societies, are of a demoralizing nature. But it is of little use simply to discourage these with : out giving some positive suggestions as to how the peculiar need for self-expres- sion may be otherwise satisfied. In com- paratively few high schools has this been successfully done. and consequently there are still many objectionable conditions The Augsburg Echo connected with the social life. both or- ganized and unorganized. A notable ex- ample of what can be done to fill the leisure hours of adolescent boys and girls with wholesome amusement is the work done at Hull House in an industrial dis- trict of Chicago. Here all questionable . amusements and all rowdyism have been banished. and yet every evening the young people come in such numbers that the facilities are inadequate to supply the demand. Here is where teachers and administrators can learn a great lesson: have a definite policy in providing for the leisure hours of the pupils; set up and socialize definite standards for par- ticipation in the pleasures provided. and, to some extent at least, make the class room work the basis for standardization. (This has already been done to some ex- tent in the field of atltleticst. “Make every organization function as a motive for better work in some field of endeav- or" is a principle which. if followed. would do much to correlate and unify the social phases of school life with the re» gular courses of study. \Vhat relation does the soeial organiza- tions have to the school governman The answer to this question constitutes the third point (If our discussion. \\'hile discipline is treated by some as a prob— lem which does not or ought not exist in a properly-taught school, it nevertheless remains the sine qua mm of effective teaching. It must be maintained at the expense of everything else; for without it nothing will be accomplished. (This is true in local and state. as well as school, affairs). And it is just as much. and more. of a necessity that the pupil develop the proper attitude toward au- thority. respect for the rights of others. and the development of a sense of social responsibility. as it is that he shall be taught the outstanding facts connected with the history of our countrv. lint Show less

A Plea for Consideration We are hoping to be able in the near 1 future to move to a new Augsburg. This old one is too small. in many ways in- convenient. and in a poor location. Tl‘e new one will be up-to—date. sufficiently large. and out in the fresh country air. Plans for the construction of the build- ings have already begun. The school building. especially. is not easy to plan. It requires a great deal of study in order that all the undesirable features may be overcome. Therefore I suggest that we wlto are students. being more or less ae~ quainted with the inconveniences of the old building. should bring up suggestions for improvement. so that. when the new building is ready. we may all agree that it is the best school building that could be built. Of late we have been impressed by one outstanding dimculty with regard to the chapel exercises. There seems to be a class of students among us that are ah- wlutely opposed to singing our hymns according to the time set by the organist. They also persistently lower the pitch, My plan is to-have two chapeb. so that those of as who wish to sill] a term can assemble-in one. and. in the other. the rest will then be able to enjoy their “largo” undisturbed. ln passing. I will mention that the latter group will need no organ. for they continually dis- regard it anyway. Their songs ought to be transposed half a step lower. for that is.the way they sing them. although. upon second consideration. this would be quite unnecessary. as they show a marked abi- lity in Imposing at sight. l would also suggest that the pews be equipped with cushioos. and that the students be al- lowed to sit while they sing lest rhtir legs become weary while the lungs are being sung.

Some are pleasing and some are disagreeable. Personality is defined as. "that which distinguishes or characterizes a person." From this we see that personality is closely related to character. Character is defined as, "the individuality which is the product of nature and environment." Character depends a great deal upon en- vironment. Therefore. let us be careful in choosing our friends. A man without a character will have no personality. Lin- coln had a pleasing personality that was based upon a strong character. A man may have a good reputation. and still have a weak character. Starke says that “reputatipn is what one is thought to be; character is what one is.‘.' Have you ever met a person to whom you took a liking immediately? \\'hat made you like him? “as it because he was handsome or dressed in the latest of fashion? No! There was a something about that person that attracted you. That something was his personality. You may be sure that this pleasing personality was based upon a good, strong character. Therefore, let us be careful in mould- ing our character. for it is the very foundation of our personality, and our personality is what makes or loses for us many friends. \K'. T., A.C., '26. A Harmless Joke A joke is best when played on a per- son who becomes a little irritated over trifles. I realized the veracity of this statement one day last summer when a few other boys and I decided to have some fun at somebody else's expense. \‘Ve chose Martin Nelson. a hardware man, as our victim. He was a young man who The Augsburg Ethn liked to play jokes on everybody else. but disliked to be the _source for the other fellow's enioyment. Conditions were favorable for playing jokes that day, for a large baseball game. in a pasture near town. was attracting the attention of the innocent victims. Mr. Nelson had taken the whole family out in the old Overland and parking the car under an overhanging elm. had gone to witness the excitement of the game. As my fellow conspirators and I en- tered the pasture. we recognized the old Overland and immediately decided to put the machine out of commission. One of our number suggested that we should let the air out of the tires: another was in favor of filling his timer with water. These suggestions were rather mean tricks. and I disliked them both. In the meantime I looked arouan for a better one. I noticed that Nelson had parked his car where there were many small bushes, so that the hind axle was hidden from view. Suddenly a bright idea popped into my head. How would it be to block up the axle so that the wheel would clear the ground? tion brought an acclamatfon of approval This sugges- ‘from my fellow malefactors. We were soon busy executing our plan. We took the jack out of the tool box and lifted the hind part of the car sufiiciently to get a large stump under the axle. Then. removing the jack and covering the stump with brush. we withdrew to a hiding place near by to witness the ef- iects. \‘l'e had hardly time to get out of sight before Mr. Nelson and his family ap- proached the car and made preparations for leaving for home. Mr. Nelson seated himself in the front seat and started the engine. Then he tumed around and looked into the back seat as if looking to see if they were all there, but he really was notifying them that he was about to Show less

It is thus that we develop our taste. .\ noted literary lcritie says. “Taste means simply the power to appreciate a work of art. it is not a single faculty. but must imply the joint action of in- tellect and emotions." Any great worlt of art is a complex thing. It has a variety of qualities; so the fact that a certain painting, poem. or musical com. position makes an emotional appeal to you should not satisfy you that you 3p~ preciate it. For it is only through the emotions that an appeals to the un- tutored. The untutored enjoys only the truth of art; he merely gets an evanes- cent entertainment. which leaves no last- ing impression of cultural value on his mind.

But Douglas wanted the presidency in order that the great mass might admire and serve him. Lincoln wanted the pre sidency in order that he might serve the lowly as well as the elite. We know what happened. Douglas is little known to-day. He received honor while he lived. but is was ephe— meral. Lincoln is honored now, and will be as long as our country exists. his Out of Lincoln‘s life we ought to se- cure some inspiration. Do we not see that it profits us more to live to serve ruin than to live to be served? ls it not better to render more service than is paid for than less? Sooner or later our service will be fully paid for. but why worry about to-day‘s wages? Why be a day laborer? Why not take a life con— tract rather and serve permanently? Friends and students, take heart again even if you feel that years are spent at school preparing for a life of service that may not be so immediately lucrative. However. don't depend on the "They also serve who only stand and wait" The Augsburg Echo hypothesis. namely. "\Vho best Iears his mild yoke. they serve him best. His state Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed And post o'er land and ocean without rest." Milton has a better saying: * WHAT LACKs? \N'e have just said something about ad‘ versity. We have had a deal of it while collecting material for this issue of the “Echo”, but it is welcome after all. \\'hen we feel strong. we invite a few “bumps”. We look for kicks and criticisms. If you have not the fearless intrepidity to speak directly. send us anonymous letters. \‘\'e are trying to serve you and edit a good paper. \\'e will even try to smile and thank you for the "lemons" although a little sugar and water added would give lemonade which we like infinitely better. We expect rough bumps on any bit of road that leads to success. If we meet only sunshine and smooth traveling all the way. our suspicion is aroused. \Ve suspect that if we receive no criticism our work isn’t worthy of your casual at- tention. Don‘t break our heart through inattention. We do have an inkling to the effect that to success there is added an equal measure of failure. Somewhere we have heard that true love never runs smooth; that easy come. easy go; that if every- body smiles, there are breakers ahead, and so on. Be that as it may. a few bumps are good stablizers for conceit ac- quired through having had a “soft snap.” Come. show us where we err. Point out our failures and suggest something better to fill the gaps left when the flaws are expelled. We will work hard to Correct faults. We like ease, but dare not follow the line of least resistance. The Minnesota Show less

I believe it is my duty to go. even though we have planned to get married next spring. I could leave the oflice with you, you know." The thought had also occurred to Ruth many times before.

The trucks drove back and forth all day long, bringing the wounded soldiers back to the hospitals behind the lines. Olaf was one of the men who were chosen for this work, because he was large and strong. Every night he took out his tablet and wrote to Ruth. telling her of his many experiences. both in— teresting and dangerous. that he had at the front. Sometimes he asked her if there was any mail for him from the west. Nothing pleased him more than to get his letters from his faithful friend in New York. but there was always r .

Now when he was so far away from home. he often thought of his brother. “\Vould Harry have failed if I had been more reasonable?" “\\'as it his fault only?” These questions were often in his mind. but he was unable to answer them satisfactorily. He was very tired one evening. It had been a strenuous day for him. There had been a "drive", and a great many had been wounded. It was getting dusk. He made his way over and between the scores of dead and wounded to see if he could not be of some service.- He came to a “shell-hole”. He could see a man lying down in the bottom of it, but he did not know if he was dead or only wounded. He made his way down the side of the hole, lifted the man on his back. and began his ascent. He was tired from the day’s hard work and was therefore almost exhausted when he at last reached the top of the hole. He saw the truck in the distance. Shoulds he attempt to carry this man over holes and bodies back to the truck? He was about to drop him, but he knew that if he did. the man would be dead by morning. He could hear the man’s frequent moaning and feel the warm blood from his wound. He decided to carry him, even though it would take the last ounce of his strength. “Take this man back right away." he said to the driver. “He is badly wounded and may die if we do not hurrry." It was dark now. and the truck had no lights, so the ride was very un- pleasant. They were near upsetting once, but they managed at last to reach the hospital. Olaf took the wounded back and went into the dressing room. \Vhen he laid him down on the operat- ing table. he caught a glimpse of the man’s face.

Show moreThe Augsburg Echo Sharps and Flats unuunmlmmhmm Educational Value of Music BELLE Menus All education is largely an effort to increase our points of contact with the world and lessen and overcome the isola— tion with which each soul is born. Mu- sic is one of the most valuable points of contact we have; it is a bond of sym~ pathy as well as a test of civilization. For the same reason that a child is not taught to read in order that he may con- tinually exhibit the dexterity with which he can speak so many hundred words per minute, the fundamental aim of a musical education is not that the pupil may evmtually perform. The real re— sults to be attained are the trained eye. a delicately atuned ear, expressive touch, the give and response of the whole body. a disciplined mind, stimulated imagina- tion, a more serious knowledge of self. and a higher grade of spiritual develop- ment. He who has leen musically educated is provided with akeen mental recreation, a resource. something like a silent, sympathetic friend who is ever present to contribute to his pleasure and enjoyment. Of music also it may be said that “She speaks a various language." To a person possessing such purely intel- lectual qualities of mind that an involved algebraic demonstration gives him pleas- ure. the complexities of a four—voiced Bach fugue undoubtedly proves an end- less delight. Those who admire chaste precision. refinement and grace would probably turn to Haydn 0r Mozart ; those who enjoy romantic emotionalism. de- licate differences in tone color and thrill- ing imaginative flights would find them in Chopin; those who want vigor. robust- ness and depth of both thought and emo- tions would probably choose Beethoven. And it would not be strange if one mind would combine the above mentioned qualities and enjoy Beethoven in one mood. Chopin at another time, and still find Haydn delightfully refreshing at all times. \\'e may not be able to create these forms of beauty, nor even perform them adequately, but we can develop another ability which is almost as wonderful. \Ye can “appreciate” them—that is, love them. understand them. and rejoice be— cause of them. lrowning was such a "musician", and it was to that fine class of music lovers he refers when he says. “'Tis we musicians know.” At length in “Cleon”, he says: "I have not chanted verse like Homer, no— Nor swept string like Terpander, no— nor carved And painted men like l’hidias and his friend; I am not great as they are, point by point. But I have entered into sympathy \Vith these four, running these into one soul, \\'ho separate. ignored each others' art. Say. is it nothing that I know them all P" It is said that music is a universal lan— guage, but it is well to bear in mind also that it is an untranslatable language. In literature. if a genius writes in French, German, Finnish. or Italian, his works may be translated into English for us. Show less

But finally he became tired of this, and sent to the Delco Electric Light Co. for an automatic switch, which. operating like a watch, only had to be connected to the wires leading out from the plant. This switch was made in such a way that at a set time—ten o'c10ck in the evening—the lights would go out, and remain out un- til four o’clock in the morning again. In order to be sure that no one should have a chance to meddle with his authority in regard to the set time, he bought a lock and locked the switch. But it is often true that “it is a poor rule that does not work both ways.” Landsford was to experience this to be the case as far as regarded the lights. One Saturday evening his brother came over with his family and visited him. character. Though determined in what he said, he was more sensible in his reasonings and always used arguments and proofs that he knew he was certain about. That these two brothers had many an argument may readily be inferred. It so happened that they had one that evening. After supper, they retired to the parlor. seated themselves in comfort- able rocking-chairs, and with the room brightly lighted by the electric lights. en~ tered a lively discussion about the last election.

I must change the time on the switch. because we cannot go to bed yet—er—on a Saturday evening." Fred went, but found the desk locked. \Vhen Landsford heard that the desk was locked, he remembered that he had broken the key to the writing desk that very day.
