than the organization of the student
government bodies. Early in the
year a provisional student council
consisting of fourteen boys and girls
was selected by the faculty commit
tee on student affair . This council
spent a good deal of time in serious
study of the work of similar bodies
in other schools. But while the mem
ber were busy formulating plans,
they were active in the best Jtdcnt
enterprises, such as the sale of foot
ball season tickets, encouraging the
carnival, protecting the newly planted
terraces around the building. Finally
after seve.J months of study a con
stiution was framed establishing a
permanent student council and home
room representative body. Both of
these organizations under the terms
of the constituion were elected by the
whole student body. These elections
took place during the last weeks of
school, but even so, the council made
itself felt by taking charge of a splen
did patriotic assembly on the morning
of registration day, and stirring the
student body to march in the great
parade of the same day. The student
council bids fair to be a democratic
body which will make all the students
feel that they are themselves respon
sible for the well being of the school.
While they are helping to guide af
fairs in high school, they are really
preparing to take their places in the
democracy outside of scriool.
Two interesting student enterprises
in Lincoln High school are the week
ly paper, The Advocate, and the an
nual, The Links, The Advocate has
been in existence for a great many
years, but this year it has been
changed in form from a magazine to
a newsaper. It now appears as a
firvcolumn" news sheet, which realty
contains news. Next year the English
department will offer a course in
news writing to train boys and girls
for their duties in connection with
the paper.
The Links was a new venture. It is
a book of 168 pages, handsomely
bund in brown with a gold medallion
on the cover. It is devoted to the
interests of the school, the arts, liter
ature, music, organizations, athletics,
jokes, cartoons, which are typical of
Lincoln High school. The annual
was so successful from the standpoint
of finance, as well as student interest,
that it will probably be undertaken
again next year.
No survey of the Lincoln schools
would be complete without a word
about one, of the outstanding' fea
tures of trie system which has been
increasing in effectiveness for four
years the socialized recitation. The
aim of the, jocialized recitation is to
make the pupil feel that the school
room is a little world in which he
as & social unit has certain duties,
privileges, responsibilities. The stu
dent, not the teacher, is the one for
whose benefit the lesson is studied.
He and his fellow citizens must do
their share in making the lessons a
success. Very young children in the
Lincoln schools understand this and
themselves conduct classes in a man
ner which shows that initiative, un
selfishness and courtesy are being
fostered' along with the knowledge
of books. In the high school the
same practice obtains. In some " in
stances students conduct classes with
entire success in the absence of the
teacher; in all, students are expected
'ito recite at length and work out the
message of the lesson with the aid
' of their fellow students and without
rnnatan nnfstinnin? from the teach
er. The good to the pupil derived

from this system is inestimable. In
no way can the schools of America
better attain training for democracy
than in a system under which each
comes to feel his responsibility to his
classmates, his world.
