on the athletic field. That is why, as college women, we think that chewing gum, lieing on the floor between quarters, or being loud or boisterous during a public game is entirely unnecessary and not to be tolerated. Women are learning to be better sports now that we are taking more active part in athletic contests. We are learning that the best athletes, true sportsmen, do not question the decision of officials, are obedient, and do not talk over-much. Missionaries tell us that Orientals, men as well as women, have not learned to be good sports, athletics being comparatively new to them. One of the members of our own faculty, Miss Leola Wheeler. who has recently returned from the

ities that should be developed, and which control the objectives in play, and athletics, as "The quality of Honor. The quality of Courtesy. The quality of Untelfishneii." He goes further to lay that a girl or boy possessed of these basic qualities, will be | sport under the most trying circumstances. In every phase of ecrucation, if we do not develop character and the habits of good sportsmanship, we havt missed our aim. The playground, the athletic luld. are laboratories where we hope to try-out, put into practice and control the educational objectives. The best coaches and instructors in (Continued on last page.)

There is ,i great need in this school for an outlet of literary talent. If a Dumber of years ago this school could support and edit a magazine dewed to literary work, we can certainly do it now when our student body is almost twice a- large. Think how interesting it would be if once every month, we COUld look forward to a magazine which would have short stories, book reviews, poetrv, literary and historical articles all written by authors in our midst.
