Trotter A FOOL THERE WAS It is hard for an individual to tell whether he is being a sport or a fool when he does what he doesn't want to do because someone said: "Oh come on, be a sport." The task becomes doubly hard after one has started to do it because one can think of at least a dozen ways in which the request might have been nullified, but strangely enough one can never remember in a similar situation what this striking retort should have been. That one sent- ence, "Be a sport," has turned countless individuals from self respecting individuals into weak and vacillating minions. With this plea Cain probably got all his spending money, as have almost all his kindred after him. It would be interesting to know what Adam thought being a sport consisted in, and if he did not fall for it, how he answered his temptor. Nevertheless, very few people can withstand a desire to appear a good fellow and a sport in the eyes of others, and so the boy smokes a vile tasting first cigarette, and the first airman arose to the sky for he thought that to do otherwise would brand him as being a poor sport. There are two kinds of fools, those who are will- ing to appear as fools rather than do something they do not desire, and those who are willing to be fools without appearing as such. One of the hardest blows to an ordinary individual with the custom- ary amount of conceit, is that of being condemned by one's fellow beings. Of course if this phrase "being a sport" were analyzed and studied it would swerve one but slghtly, depending upon one's in- terpretation of a sport, but otherwise it has a ypnotic appeal which is rarely resisted. The duty then of all those who have the inter- ests of mankind at heart and of each one who de- sires to do a monumental work whose significance would last through the ages, should be to invent or coin a phrase -with as much appeal and which will counteract effectively the urge to be a sport. ANOTHER ON SWIMMING Municipal institutions in Ann Arbor do not bear the. significant marks of existing purely for public benefit;, which is demonstrated in other cities. In a neighboring city, two years ago, two splendid swimming pools were erected by the municipal parks department. The equipment of these two pools in- cludes more than one hundred lockers each, show- er baths, diving boards, adequate life-saving facilit- ies, and rest rooms. Fresh water from the city's supply of drinking water, is pumped into the pools daily. All of this hot weather recreation is furnish- ed free of charge to the bathers. Not even a "nom- inal fee" is exacted.1 . Here in Ann Arbor with the God-given water of the Huron river to swin in, and a bath house of or- dinary wooden construction, it has been found neces- sary to charge bathers for the use of lockers. It is true that the charge is only "nominal," and it is argued that a large majority of the patrons of the municipal beach are students of the University. Neither the students nor the University is a city taxpayer, so why should not the former contribute directly to the support of the beach? Children of sixteen years of age, or under, are ad- mitted free. The inference might be drawn that the charge to the older patrons, is intended to discour- age their attendance at the beach in preference to the children. There is perhaps some justification in this measure.. But the outstanding feature of the municipal beach, which reminds one vividly of the crowded summer resort under private management, or of the new German tourist tax, is the admission charge per capita for spectators. Each and every friend, par- ent or guardian of a swimmer over sixteen years of age, must pay to go out on the beach as a specta- ;or. Given a river, a beach, and a site for a bath house, a city charges its citizens and visitors for the privilege of watching bathers swim on a muni- cipal beach. THE POOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER In an editorial of yesterday concerning the pres- ent-day high schools, the reason for the high school's failure as an adequate educational institution was given as being largely because of the type of-teachers that they employ. It was stated that the high school teacher as a rule was not an overly intelligent am- mal, and it might have been added that though ihis fact is lamentable it is not entirely the teachers' fault. It is largely the fault of the schools' system. Assuming that most teachers in high school are col- lege graduates, then they do not as a rule differ from other college graduates-and a diploma is not usually accompanied by any great degree of intellig- ence. A college course serves little more than to act as a whip to spur people on, give them initiative, and instill them with the desire to learn and the ability to do it with as much ease as possible. If the college graduate enters a high school as a teacher, he or she immediately becomes a slave to the present-day high school system-or loses the job. The position can be held down without any unnatural mental im- provement on the part of the teacher as long as the teaching system is adhered to, and the system as it exists today tends to discourage real thought on the part of those who, wishing to remain as teachers, ne- cessarily must abide by it. Therefore, because teach- ers do not as a rule develop into exceptional think- ers, it is not because they themselves are entirely at fault. For the teachers welfare it might be to their advantage to get in vogue with the rest of the country and strike for better high school systems- systems in which they will have an opportunity to take advantage of their college education and de- velop the abilities that are theirs. ............................ ...... THE FRYING PAN "-a flash is the Pan." THE S TAFP PITCHER if this sheet is kinda wobbly this mornin' it's becuz the staff had its daguerreotype done yestirday all the staff came in unaccustomed effulgence of attire and after introductions had been performed all around ite vent and sat in the bright light (just like the movies) and when everybody felt he was lookin' like (a) marillynn miller or (b) walie reid the guy pinched the bulb and the camera clicked and everybody held his (or her) breath and the room went round. in dizzy circles till the camera clicked again and the guy said that was only a trial exposure (just to exercise the camera, don't you know) i can't think why we didn't slay him.

THROUGH AMERICAN HISTORY ON ROLL- ER SKATES I: The Revolutionary War The Revolutionary war, or war of American In- dependence, was incited largely by a playful little gathering in Boston harbor under the auspices of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company (not an advt.). It was fought between the thirteen original colon- ies united in a state of high excitement, and Eng- land (an island off the east coast of Ireland) under the Marquis of Queensbury rules. The first battle of this war was at Lexington, Mass. Here the Yankee forces, under command of the Smith Brothers, soon put the red-coats to flight. The clash was immediately followed by the Bat- tle of Bunker Hill, 1492. This battle was fought on the Plains of Abraham, (Abraham, Abraham, and Son, sole lessors) between the Spanish Armada and the entire Swiss navy. During the next few days battles became the na- tianal sport of the new United States. In 186o how- ever, peace and quietude reigned throughout the land. It was at Thermopylae, the decisive battle of this war, that General Washington made the timely re- mark: "I just date on puffed Korn Kernels, and wouldn't be without them." LUKE WARM.
