If any one would ask me (which they wont, so 111 tell them anyway) what I consider the requisites of an editor of a school paper, I should say: (1) A mastery of the English language as it is spoken and written and a few others for background: (2) A willingness to subordinate his ideas to almost anyone else's and yet keep his own; (3) Unbounded tact and insight; (4) An ability to take criticism — good and bad — and a lot of the other kind; (5) A knowledge of every-thing, or almost everything; (6) Very good health; (7) A

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR PRIVATE

Do you know that in England, the public school system holds the exact opposite position that the public schools do in the United States? Every English family with any means at all will send their children to a private or boarding school. The public school or taxed school, is only attended by the poor who consider it a mark of their poverty. The private schools never are embarrassed from lack of funds because they are so well attended and consequently well supported.

But the American sees things from a clearer standpoint and is a supporter of the public school system. The private church schools Weft th6" ffftt trr t h e early Tofcmtec but once the tax supported school got a foothold, it has and is now rapidly replacing church and private schools. After a well known court case it was decided that the State had the right to tax for high schools and higher universities. Now there are Junior Colleges in most of the large cities and it has been predicted that within twenty-five years the parochial school will be in the pages of history. If Holland should ever grow to such an extent as to have a Junior College, Hope naturally wouldn't have a chance because of the numerous advantages of a Junior College. Hope would probably become Holland's Junior College, anyway it's something to think

over.

UNFAIRNESS

About once in so often one hears of students who are com-plaining of the fact that we are not given more control in the matters of our student government. Very few of us stop to realize that the very best reason that we are not given this control is that we have never yet shown ourselves capable of using it. We have acted like children: we are governed like children.

In no more virulent form does this incapacity for self con-trol manifest itself than in our attitude toward the Athletic Board of Control when this group finds it necessary to ask some man whose scholastic standing has fallen below the danger line to withdraw from participation in athletics until such discrepancies are made up. The offending student him-self generally takes the righb attitude and gets down to work, but the student body as a whole makes complaint that things are not fair, and that the school is losing because this man does not play on the teams. They call the coach, the Student Council, and whonot bad names, and label it all "Hope Spirit." This attitude, besides being fatal to the student organiza-tions themselves, is worse than deadly to the morale of the teams. If those who do work hard to keep their grades well above the danger line find him who has failed to do so on a par with them, then their interest in their work will suffer, and their value to the team will decrease.

Again this attitude crops out with regard to the training rules. We may see one of our basketball men breaking the training rules; smoking, eating forbidden things; and yet we will not say a word to him. We then go around complaining that Hope does not produce winning teams. Training rules are set down by a student-elected body, and it is the duty of each and every student to see that these rules are upheld, or else that the offender makes way for those who do keep them.

In spite of these conditions, the past season saw Hope teams take fourth place in baseball and football. Its basket-ball team played the M. I. A. A. champs to the closest score of their season. Hope College has sufficient material for the production of a championship team this season, and the stu-dent body holds the key to this attainment. Cannot we get better cooperation? Do you mean to uphold the decisions of thi M i * * YOU elect? Are you unfair to yourself and to your brother?

"An immortal instinct, deep with-in the spirit of man, is thus, plain-ly a sense of the beautiful. This it is which administers to his delight in the manifold forms, and sounds, and odors, and sentiments, amid which he exists."—Poe,

We all see beauty round about us. Some of us can express our-selves in adequate prose, but few of us can put our reactions in po-etry. .

We have on the campus one who is a poet, but being so unostenta-tious tha t only recently when one of his poems had the honor of be-ing read in chapel, did we become aware of his presence. Some of his poetry has been published, and some of the leading publishing companies have asked to publish his poetry in book form. We are looking forward to the coming Milestone, which will contain some of the "fine" work, as one of the

Happy New Year, everybody; health, wealth, prosperity and hap-piness! Isn't that the proper con-ventional greeting?

Sh yes, we mustn't forget tto tire a f te r all your new resolu-

tions. How many of them have weathered the storms of sixteen whole days? There have beert the usual array of ordinary ones such as going to chapel regularly, pre-paring assignments conscientiously, getting up for breakfast, being easy on the poor profs, etc., etc., ad in-Anitum. Then there are all the un-usual ones which are made for the purpose of impressing your skep-tical friends with your cleverness but which are broken jusl ars quickly. The Anchor is meditating offering a priie for resolutions kept more than a month. How's your chance, studes?

Vacation is over. Isn't that news? The faculty says it doesn't believe it but we do. All those papers that didn't get written during the glor-ious two weeks are now receiving serious consideration. Books, pens, papers and typewriters are being used overtime; yes, actually over-time. In fact the studious atmos-phere in the dorms and various boarding houses is having a rather extraordinary effect on several stu-dents. Faculty jplease take special note of this paragraph.

A famous organization was formed during the last days of the old year on the campus. It was an extremely closed co-operation hav-ing for its headquarters the lower regions of Voorhees Hall. All mem-bers report themselves well and happy and ready to try it again. Sh! We'll tell you a secret. Even a few of the men on this campus know how to cook.
