Are you living in contentment and harmony, enjoying life's greatest gift, happiness? Then take not all the credit for yourself. Consider your fellow men. You have friends who rejoice with you in your achieve- ments, loving guardians who guide you and helpful neighbors to share your burden. Then give thanks this day to God for home, church and school, for friends and neighbors. Most of your happiness comes through association with your fellows. FAIR PLAY IN THE LIBRARY A great American athlete recently said. \Every sport receives its character from its participants; they make the game.\ Although we may not realize it, our use of books in the normal school library is a game played by all of us. Lately the character of our game has not been very high, as books are constantly disappearing. Shall we attribute this to indifference and neglect or to absolute selfishness on the part of some of our players? Even the first reasons are inexcusable on the part of students who expect to become teachers. If we cannot play as true sportsmen now, we cannot expect to use any higher standards later on. Let's meet this problem squarely and bring our standard of sportsman. ship in this library game up to the highest level. BE PROMPT Students, what does promptness mean to you? You are not the only loser; you are taking the time of a class. Did you ever count up the time lost by a class of twenty in two minutes time? Students, play the game and have for your motto, \Be Prompt. - ATTEND YOUR CHURCH All of you who are attending normal are going to make Billings your home for the next few months at least and some for the next two years. You have left, for a time, your loved ones, your home, your church and your community. You are now adapting yourselves to a new environ- ment and making new friends. Make the most of this school year by making a real home among the people of Billings and finding your church among theirs. The church affords an opportunity to become acquainted with a new circle of friends, and if you wish to take an active part in church work you will find a place waiting for you. A practical knowledge of Sunday school work will he found beneficial in your chosen profession. By all means do not miss the opportunity of hearing an inspirational message each Sunday in some Billings church. ARE WE ACHIEVING THE GOAL? Are the teachers who have been trained in E. M. N. S. achieving what they are after? Are they meeting the demands of their community and obtaining genuine satisfaction and happiness from their work? Numerous evidences affirming these questions are found in such re- quests as the one made at an Educational Association meeting by a Montana superintendent who is employing an E. M. N. S. graduate, and who in referring to her said, \We wish that you would send us more like her.\ Other evidences are found in the letters received by faculty members from superintendents and school boards, and in the enthusiastic reports about their work at the Educational Association meetings. These teachers are bringing new ideas and better teaching methods to their schools and communities. They are adding new features such as toy- making, dramatics and orchestra. At present our normal school is supplying one-tenth of the teachers in the state. This record has been attained in just two years. The demand for more teachers trained in E. M. N. S. will grow in proportion to the earnest endeavor and achievements of teachers already in the field. The future success of the school will be determined by the stud- ents themselves. We have become familiar with the term \doubling\ from its fre- quent use in the movies, meaning, as most of us know, one character playing two parts. But we believe no one has heard the term used in football. It is a distinctly original idea, for which the boys of E. M'. N. S. are entirely responsible. For doubling in football is exactly what they are doing, or rather, shall we say, attempting to do, since no one has actually viewed the sight yet, although a number are anxious to do so. We are all aware of the scarcity of boys in our school, but perhaps not so vitally aware as they were when they began playing football. There were only half enough boys to make up a team. What should they do? What could they do? They would not give up so easily as all that. There must be a solu- tion to their problem. \Necessity is the mother of invention,\ and out of necessity grew the strange idea of doubling. Each boy would play two positions. We are proud of the boys' ingen- uity and their pioneer spirit, for although we do not know a great deal about football, we can surely realize how very difficult it would be to play two positions at the same time. Even the famous Dr. Jekyl could scarcely manage this. We are anxious to see how the theory works in practice. Since the slogan of E. M. N. S. is \Do the best you can with what you have.\ we think the boys are show- ing a splendid school spirit for which they are to be highly com- mended. Come on, boys! Let's see you play football! We're for you, one and all! It doesn't pay to take \cat naps\ during class periods. Your test papers will tell you why. With surprise and interest we stood in the kindergarten room, watching the five-year-olds busy at their work. Under the magic of their imagination wonderful things materialized. Block construction satisfied the children's desire to build something —houses, castles, skyscrapers, and many other objects that would look like a mere stack of blocks to adult eyes. But who expects adults to have imagination? Story telling hour found all the children seated in a circle on the floor around Miss Wagner. And a breathless silence fell on the group as she began with these words: \One day Goldie Locks asked her mother if she could go for a walk.\ After this story each child strove eagerly for a chance to talk. Many a mother would be horrified at the family secrets dragged to light in the story telling hour. After about an hour of work—or shall we say play? —the little folks got their rugs and stretched out big and long for a nice rest: Then they were ready for more work. Paints and crayolas now claimed their attention. The word variety would explain the results. Aeroplanes, barns, castles, wagons, animals, trees, and cars are only a few of their masterpieces. Individ- ual differences were everywhere ap- parent. Some were remarkably skillful in putting their ideas on paper. At the ringing of a little bell, the children put away their work. In a nice straight line they were ready to go home, many of them carrying their pictures home for mother to see. Truly such a glimpse of a kinder- garten in progress leaves the visit- ors eager to come again and again. Plan your work for every day, You'll find this the very best way.
