The second Beethoven symphony
program drew nearly as large a crowd
as the Hon. W. J. Bryan. This speaks
well for the excellence of these music
treats and the cultural taste of the
student body.
SCHOOL SPIRIT.
(By Dr. H. B. Alexander)
Not all young people are able to
distinguish school spirit from mob ex
citement Take the football field for
illustration. On the bleachers is a
great concourse of persons bound to
gether by no other tie than that of
sharing a common interest and a com
mon feeling; on the gridiron are the
two elevens, each united in every
move by a common purpose and a
common understanding, and both,
even in their antagonism, keenly
aware of the limitations within which
they must act, the rules of the game.
Psychologists would tell us that the
spectators share with one another
only a "mob consciousness," while the
players are banded together by a far
higher "consciousness of kind," or
sense of fellowship. Between these
t wo is all the difference between noisy
emotion and individual irresponsibility
on the one hand, and on the other, a
clear-cut sense of duty, of mutual pur
pose governed by discipline.
If we stop to ask ourselves what
makes genuine school spirit we must
see at once that it is to be found in
disciplined fellowship rather than in
the rowdyish feling of the mob. It
does not express itself in meaningless
noise, in idle pranks, or in wanton de
structionfor all these imply only
lack of self-control. Rather, it is quiet
and unassuming; it is habitual, not
an affair of occasional celebration; in
the routine of life, it is sympathetic
rnd service-giving, and in hours of
trial it is evinced by that ability to
take one's medicine which is the sigu
of manhood. In short, it is the spirit
of good breeding.
Service is the great gift of fellow
ship. And service means first of all
being serviceable knowing one's
work and doing it. Service thus im
plies, loyalty loyalty to the studies
which you are in school to pursue;
loyalty to the ideals of the state which
has built schools that you may profit
by them; loyalty, first and last, to
your own ideals of the good. In a
school, every student is a model for
every other; every student Is a

Ben' than called down by the

creator of school sentiment and school
custom. If in every act, you think of
yourself at the founder of a tradition,
you will not act unworthily of your
self or of your school. Immanual
Kant, the great German philosopher,
vvould make the rule of all conduct to
be: "So act that you can will your
action to become a universal law of
conduct." This is, perhaps, only a
philosophical version of the Golden
Rule; and our rule for the Btudent is
but its special application to school
life.
But service implies more than loy
alty. It impffes also understanding.
He who would be true to his fellows
must understand human nature. He
must be open-minded to the thoughts
ted ideals of other men. and of other
kinds of men; he must know some
thing of history and literature, en
tering into the life of other times and
places while living sympathetically
the lives of those about him. He must
be tolerant and suggestible with re
spect to his own ideals, ever ready to
better them when the mind is reason
ably convinced.
Again, service implies good, will,
which is the capacity of being moved
to action by knowledge of need. The
supercilious critic is out of place in
the world of the educated. What is
demanded is sincere desire to see and
earnest effort to do the right. Not
with soberness where the affair is
light; Sir Long-face will earn the by
name of Kill-joy. There is no better
savor to human character than an un
assumed cheerfulness, and geniality is
the very soul of a hale and hearty
fellowship.
All of these qualities call for knowl
edge, for wisdom in the good Hebraic
sense of the word wisdom. It is belief
in the value of this wisdom to state
and citizen that has built and that sus
tains our schools. It is faith in the
value of clear thinking that makes
schooling worth while. Remember
that your education is the education
of the state; remember that your
school spirit is the reflection of the
spirit of the national fellowship of the
state's citizens; and finally, remem
ber that the soul of all true school
spirit is the will to be educated.
