Before long genuine cases of spring fever will be covering
this campus like a blanket. The grass will be getting greener
the flowers blooming the birds singing and the world calling.
Young men's fancies may turn to love but teachers are liable to
turn to an empty class room.
The temptation to cut classes is exceptionally strong during
the last two six-weeks periods of the school year. It is indeed dif-
ficult to sit through an hour of lecture or to stand at the board
working math and English problems while the sun is flooding
everything with sleepy warmth. More than one co-ed will idly sit
through class dreaming of picnics and rides; boys will try to
catch up on their beauty sleep under cover of taking notes.
This is the time for all good men to come to the aid of this
party. During these next few weeks you will determine the marks
of your winterls work. Many courses that now hold good grades
can yet be failed because of cuts and inattention.
Scientists are trying to prove that sleeping is a habit and its
restriction will increase energy. The same can be said of spring
fever. The best way to lick it is to stay too busy to notice it.
RETIREMENT FOR TEACHERS?
From time to time the problem of taking care of old teachers
comes up before the State Legislature. In the past no suitable plan
has been presented. Little action and thought has been given to
the task.
A bill now before the Legislature provides for the retirement
of teachers who have reached the age of 60. They will under the
provisions of the act receive a pension as would a retired govern-
ment employee.
There are several admirable points to this proposed measure.
Teachers will then be able to work with an attitude of more secur-
ity. To know that they will be taken care of in their old age will
be valuable to them. They will devote their full time to the task
before them instead of trying to develop some lucrative sideline
that will furnish an income and a livlihood when they are too old
to teach.
Insecurity has probably turned many good teachers from the
school profession. When other fields offer better salaries and a
more stable income all through life the college graduate will turn
to it in preference to the school although his major talent may
lie with leading and instructing children and conducting the ad-
ministration of a school system.
Teaching is a calling just like the ministry the medical scien-
ces and the farmer. To those men and women who have given
their entire life talent and service to guiding the young life
should go an appropriate return a retirement with pay.
Throughout the year we have been saying PATRONIZE COL-
LEGIAN ADVERTISERS.
With the coming of spring and as summer draws near we still
say the same thing.
The firms who have appeared regularly in these pages have
done much to make your paper possible. Without their supporl
there would not have been a college paper in Daniel Baker unless
the student body financed it.
Every business man realizes the value of advertising. Through
it he contacts possible customers and explains to them his policies
his products and his services.
Nine times out of ten the biggest advertisers are the leading
and most dependable merchants in a town. Their material is better
and their services most up to date and accurate.
We owe a debt to the advertisers of the Collegian. They have
helped to support us. Now let's support them.
Easter will bring a demand for many new clothes. It is a pride
to step out Easter morning attired in a new dress hat shoes and
gloves. Boys are proud of their new suits.
Brownwood merchants are offering the very latest in spring
wear chic up-to-date and fashionable. There is nothing tardy
about their costumes.
Buy in Brownwood for Easter.
COLLEGE ANNUALS
We noticed an editorial in one of the larger college papers the
other day regarding college annuals the one issued by the above
school in particular. It brought out the futility uselessness and
unnecessary expenditure of funds caused by continued repititions
of the same pictures throughout the book in the class sections
in the club sections in the parts of the book devoted to athletics
and other organizations of the school to numerous pages devoted
to special departments of the school while other organs of the
school (maybe even more important) were completely left out of
the annual. The useless expenditure of money was the chief ob-
jection to the plan now used by the majority of the schools in the
country.
Then our editor came forth wtih a suggestion that might be
well to leave with the present students for incorporation in future
books. "Why not steal a march from the seniors and list the names
of all the clubs and other organizations of which the students
are members and place them under the individual pictures of the
students in the class section." That would give all of the stu-
dents the sam eadvantage as far as actual pictures were con-
cerned. Students would not have to belled themselves and their
parents to keep up dues in the various clubs just to get their
pictures in that section. The officers of the clubs would be re-
lieved of the worry of collecting cash for payments for the club
pages. Above all expense would be lessened and at the same time
the editors and other workers on the books would have a little
time to devote to obtaining an education for themselves.
Maybe the above isn't so radical as it might seem. It could
be done easily enough. It's too late to start such a thing this year
but the editor of the TRAIL of next year can take the chance.
DANIEL BAKER PROM?
Last year Daniel Baker had one of the most successful prom-
enades in the history of the school. But work on the program
and on the actual preparations for the occasion were delayed un
til the last possible minute before things started happening. This
year a little more preparation a little more thought and a little
moreplanning should bring forth a reception that would not be
equaled for many years to come. The student officials this year
are tops' among the leaders of the educational institutions of the
state. The students are willing to work together as long as there
is some direct benefit derived for themselves. The faculty mem-
bers are always interested in something that will advance the
position of the school in the minds of the young people of the
school the city the county and the state.
Student officials could easily spend a few moments during
the weeks to come in considering the annual celebration and re-
ception for the young people who are graduating from the school
in the surrounding cities. New ideas new decorations new types
of entertainment and new means of meeting the students couici
be planned and put into effect. The Daniel Baker proni cun be
made the outstanding occasion of the school year with a little
effort on the part of the students and their leaders. It can easily
be one of the best advertisements that the school could visualize.
It's up to the students and the student council. What's to be done
SELL DANIEL BAKER
What's wrong with having a student body of four or live hun-
dred members next year? Weknow several people who would like
to have a fairly large group of students running arounu tno cam-
pus next year. And they are not the only ones. The students
themselves would like to have a large enougn group 01 uhui:ihii
to accomplish something in the future. In numbers there is
strength the more numbers the more strength we say.
What's to be done? Sell your school! Every Daniel Baker stu-
den is a salesman of the school. Your everyday actions your ways
of expression your language your ideas and ideals your treat-
ment of other people your own way of living make impressions
on the people about you. These things are the salesmen which
you must call into service to help you sell Daniel Baker to the
seniors in the high schools in the surrounding country. Every
high school senior as well as boys and girls who are not in school
now. are nrosnective customers. They are all open for salesmen to
offer their wares. A little explanation a little encouragement a
few good words for the school a little laudation of the members
of the faculty stories of the life in the school and on the campus
are all interesting to those who have never experienced college life.
If you would sell your school to the boys and girls who arc making
plans to attend some school in the state next year if you will do
your bit to advertise the fact that Daniel Baker is an educational
institution and that the students are a jolly good bunch of guys
and gals chances are that a few of the incoming students will
seriously consider entering our school during the coming term.
Now is the time to start thinking about the matter. Now is
the time for all loyal students of the school to go to work and
put forth their best efforts to secure new students for the insti-
tution. Now is the time to start mapping out the program for
the coming term. It is not too early. Long thought and considera-
tion of the problems that will arise in the coming year will make
the difficulties lighter. But those matters can be discussed later.
The thing to do right now is api oint yourself a salesman of Dan-
iel Baker College and sell the school to your friends fellow class-
mates in the high schools over the country and to those whom you
meet in the ordinary run of the day. Make Daniel Baker a by-word
for education. SELL DANIEL BAKER.
