Creed of a Tarletonite
I believe in Tarleton, not that there are not other school# with admir-
able features, worthy of a student's allegiance but^ for me Tarleton is
the best school on earth. I love her professors; I believe in her students,
* ■ in their desire for the best and their ability to realize it in their life,
I believe it is my duty to support Tarleton in everything; not to be
blind to her faults but to set myself to their eradication; not to expect
* of my school any higher conduct than of myself as an individual, but
' to make my conduct conform to the highest ideals.
~ I believe in Tarleton?s mission, a mission in every good movement.
I believe the hand of Providence is clearly discernible in Tarleton's
history and that full recognition and place should be given God in our
school life.'
j , Take Five Minutes A Day To Think Of
The Many Problems Confronting Us
What is going o$i outside of the little world of seclusion that
we are'now in? Have ypu ever stopped to think that you are the
future leaders of our world?
Up until the turn of the century, we were a small, insignifi-
cant group of people in a vast universe, but now the world has
diminished in, size in the term of hours. We must be prepared
to meet our prime obligations for the events of the times are as
much our responsibility as that of others. It is so very easy to
say to ourselves, "Oh, X am just one person and no one cares
particularly what I have to say. Besides, I have too much to do
■'> * to> get mixed up in politics." Surely, you are just one person;
,imt after all, so are the rest of us. We all have plenty! to do, but
it is still our job to take an interest in theaf,fairs of the world.
What we all should be concerned with now is the fact that W£
can no longer draw within our shells and act as a disinterested
bystander, for every day the world grows more complicated and
the responsibility gets heavier. We must be ready to meet and
conquer any and all obstacles that are sure to arise as we grow
older.
Along with your other studies, take five minutes a day to
think about the different situations at home and abroad and
draw your own conclusions. Remember that you don't have to
agree with the other felo^'g ideas. What kind of a worW. would
we have to live in if everybody agreed on the same things? Af-
ter all, variety in, thought is just as much the spice of life as w«>
could possibly wish for.
Don't let the other fellow do your thinking for you.—TO
1 FILLMAN.
In some of this spring , weath-1
er, everyone seems to want' to
sleep through their classes. I even
heard a freshman compose a poem
on it. Here it is.
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
The lecture's dry; the subject's
deep.
If he should quit before I awake,
Give, me a poke, for goodness
sake."
We hear, Billy Royee Newsom
and Wally Gilbert (two prominent
local farmers) have recently* gone
into the big business. It seems
a shame to have to get up at six
every morning to feed them, does-
n't it?

Smith seemed to be enjoying each

j-Tac Reporter Convinces Self, Sp Advice
Ought To Be Good For Rest of Students
With the nine-weeks te.st onjy one week in the future, it would
be well for each student to consider, the importance of finishing
this mid-semester examination with as high an average grade as
possible. ,
A little' more time and effort giyen to study and review now
will pay dividends when the nine weeks Jtest comes around, and
it could easily be a deciding faptor at the end of the semester
It is unwise to be deceived in feeling secure with a high grade
average up to the present; you may need that margin for the
more advanced part of the courst in the last#nine weeks.
I don't know how this bit of advice will effect you, but I have
convinced myself.
Fve go to go study I LEONARD COX.
Enow Teacher? Know Students? No?
Then It's Time You Woke Up
Few people ever really ask themselves, "Why don't I know
more people? How did I miss getting acquainted with that
teacher?"-
Just think how much fun you miss when you never speak to
the people you, meet every day on and about the campus. The
word "friendliness" is synonymous with all that Tarleton stands
for. Yet with the crowded conditions on the campus, there are
marty people who never get to know anyone outside their little
crowd of five or six persons. This second semester is well into
activity, and many students still don't know their professor's
names, or if they do, they can't spell them correctly.
There are two distinct groups on the campus. The first is "The
Go-Getters," people interested in every vital phase of campus
life, people who make it their business to be a real part of their
school. They know almost everyone on the campus by name, and
even for those whom they don't know, they have a cheerful "Hi,
, there!" The second group is the "Hermits.' They aren't inter-
ested in school activities; they don't know any people; their
studies are too hard; their teachers are terrible; life can be and
• is, ,one miserable bore.
Fortunately, the second group is in this minority.. Most people
here at Tarleton are here because they wanted to come; they
enjoy the- friendly atmosphere, and they com to love the tradit-
ions of a wonderful' school. -But just as a passing thought, why
not ask yourself, "Which group am I in?"—MARY .CLAYTON.

t Student Talks t
To C. A. Class
+ About Germany *
++++++++++++++++
A very unusual and interesting
lecture on his father's experiences
as a member of the former Ger-
man guild system was delivered
recently by Herbert H. Hapke to
Dean Davis' Current Affairs class.
During his speech, he compared
the • educational opportunities of
before - the - war - Germany with
those of the United States. Hapke
used his father's experiences with
the German guild system as an ex-
ample-of the functions of the Ger-
man schools of the middle class.
In 1884 at the age of ten, Hap-
ke's father was placed in a posi-
tion with the Cabinetmakers Guild,
Here he received no pay whatso~
ever, but instead was given only
his room and board.
After six years of hard and
strenuous training, he was allowed
to create a masterpiece of his own.
If the masterpiece made by one of
the boys was okayed by the mas-.
ters of the Guild, the boy was al-
lowed to take another job. Mr,
Hapke was very fortunate in, hav-?
ing his okayed and was then given
a job as a journeyman cabinetma-
ker. After several years in this
position, he was given permission
to go on his own.
The reason for^he Guild's exis-
tence was to train young boys 'for-
th e work their fathers had dene.
The guild masters were not only
master craftsmen, but they were
also owners of the articles produc-
ed by the trainees.
