HIGH SCHOOL DAY
10° BE HELD
MAY 9
MORE THAN A SCORE OF
- SCHOOLS WILL SEND TEAMS |
TO COLLEGE FOR BIG AN-
NUAL EVENT
Between twenty and twenty-five of
the leading High Schools and Acad-
emies of the state will be invited to
send student track teams here on the
occasion of the annual High School
Day, May 9. In the past, preliminary
elimination contests have been held
between the different schools, but on
account of the great development of
interscholastic athletics in the state
Dean Kyle announces that this has
been found impossible this year and in
order to restrict the number of teams
to those who can be properly enter-
tained, those schools that send athletes
will do so on special invitation only.
“ The College has been holding these
High school days annually for 12 or
14 years and they have served to bring
a great number of students in contact
with the .College in such a way that
they are encouraged to return here
for their education. The College will
bear all expenses of the visiting teams,
including railway fare and entertain-
ment while here. A greater number
of prizes than ever will be awarded
this year. In addition to the cups
awarded the winning teams in both
the High school and Academy classes,
and the medals ‘awarded in the dif-
ferent events, special medals will be
awarded the men making, the highest
total number of points in the two
classes.
Invitations to the meet will wot be
restricted solely to those schools hav-
ing organized track teams, Dean Kyle
says, but where a school has one or
two stars they also will be invited to
attend. All events will be run off the
same day, Friday, May 9, and the meet
will not extend over two days as in
the past, and the High school students
will not be kept away from home so
long as formerly.
NEW FORGE SHOP
IS READY FOR
OPERATION
STRUCTURE BUILT AND EQUIP-
PED BY STUDENT LABOR
WILL BE USED, BEGINNING \
NEXT WEEK
With the opening of next week’s
classes the students in Mechanical En-
g:neering who are taking the course
in forge work will have the privilege
of doing ‘their practice in a shop built
by ‘themselves and their fellow stu-
dents. The new structure, located just
north of the Textile building, was
erected by the students under the sup-
ervision of H. W. Small and the double
forges, motors and fans were installed
by the students as well.
Twenty double, forges with down
drafts, underground piping and blast
and exhaust fans constitute the
principal equipment’ of the shop at
present but it is probable tin and sheet
metal work may be taught in the build-
ing later on, it is announced by Prof.
fermier.

ing‘on the Campus or in Bryan, are

raen’s Club in the parlors of the Y.M.

COLLEGE'S ONLY DISCUS IS
LOST
Coach Edmundson reports that the
only discus possessed by the College
is missing and requests that any one
having any ‘information as to its
whereabouts communicate with him at
once. The discus is badly needed
by ‘the athletes in their workouts and
it is of real importance that it be found
at once.
CITIZENSHIP WILL
BE TAUGHT AT
COLLEGE
FUTURE STUDENTS WILL HAVE
OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY
GOVERNMENT AND THEIR
RELATION TO IT ‘
Future graduates of the College will
go out into the world ore fully
equipped than their predecessors for
the service of socitty and the state if
the possibilities of a course in citi-
zenship which President Bizzell for-
sees in it, are realized, following its
establishment with the beginning of
the next school year. It will be a
course neither in civies nor political
science but will deal more directly
with the duties of the citizen toward
his government and the manner in
which the government can serve the
citizen.
The course will be given by Prof.
J. F. McDonald who is now giving the:
war and peace issues courses and in a
statement of the purpose of &he course
he ‘makes the following statement:
“This course is aimed to prepare the
4 students to. render effectively the pub-
lic service of useful citizens when they
leave College to enter upon the duties
of their professions; to help them to
acquire that common fund of knowl- .
edge which should be the social and
political asset of every citizen, to the
end that they may converse intelli-
gently and interestingly with their fel-
lows; to acquaint them while they are
in College with the issues of the day
to the end that their College life may
be in sympathetic contact with com-
munity 'life outside the College walls;
to ground them in the fundamentals of
political liberty and social progress,
to the end that they may be intelli-
gently conservative and sanely pro-
gressive; to prepare them to meet,
and, if necessary, refute the false
theories of government and society
which are being so industriously pro-
pagated, and to help them see how
hardly liberty and democracy were
won and how easily they may be lost.”
