Dr. Ford’s talk to the boys Monday about the honor of the school was
actually inspiring. Like all his fine talks, it gave the boys something
to think about and somehing good. He says we should all fight for the honor
of our first Alma Mater as we would for our own personal honor—and

Only a few of the boys, who made such brave promises last week,

tobacco. This is a job, a good big job, for the student council.
The ‘subject for debate this Friday in the Beta Society is: “Resolved
that Spanish should be substituted for Latin and French.” This subject
vitally concerns our own scvhool and it would be a good thing if it were
to be debated at different times by every society in the presence of the school.
board and then some action should be taken in regard to what changed opin
ions the members of the board have. I may be that most of the members do
approve of substituting a live South American language for a dead language,
and a live one we will never ‘use but are only waiting for an oportune time
to change the curriculum.
A student council has been organized by the boys, under the leadership
of Dr. Ford, to promote better discipline in the school and ultimately to
create more schoo! spirit. It is composed of five members, one elected from
each class by the class and the president chosen from the senior class by the
whole school. he members are: Ralph Kennedy, Elbert Murray, Glover Jefi
coat, Frank Pryor and Edward Griffin, Pres. These boys will act as a student
council will have regular meetings and receive complaints from pupils nnd
look into delinquencies. They will report such as they see fit to Dr. Ford,
who will report to the school board, and, if necessary, the board may re
port to the city council. Thus the student council has all the power neces
sary to enforce its mandates. Of course, an officer from within the student
body has a great deal more opportunity to get to the bottom of any trouble
than a faculty member. ‘
This scheme of “student government” has been tried in most of the pro
gressive schools of the country and has been usually found effective and
satisfactory. ne of the first things the council will do is to investigate
the burglary committed at the high school building. We are all confident,
however, it was not a high scheol student who did it.
‘ Monday we had a little competitive singing. Each class had a try at
‘the same stanza and(each class sang better than each of the others. Prof.
'Mathews is rganizing a boys’ chorus. We have a number of good “base”
voices but very few tenors. Anyway, the songsters are enthusiastic and if
we don’t raise the roof it will be because it is nailed down too tight. Prof.
Mathws has an exceptionally fine voice. He can sing both lower and high
er than any one of his pupils. If we could get Dr. ord’s tenor in our
quartette it would help grealy.
Prof. Beauchamp has started a contest in the tenth manual training

Besides the con#est being good training, the shop needs more benches.

While the Southern Farmers cannot get Potash
in sufficient supply for the 1916 Cotton and Corn
crops there is more Potash in
than in other sources of ammonia. Cotton Seed
Meal in your fertilizer will do more to save the
farmers from a crop failure this season than any
other material.
Have you calculated the value of the Potash con
tent of Cotton Seed Meal? Do not buy your am
moniate material without giving proper considera
tion to Cotton Seed Meal and its Potash value.
Cotton Seed Meal contains about 2% actual pot
ash (K,O) and 2)4% actual phesphoric acid, be
sides from 74 % to 8% ammonia.
Mixed with 16% acid phosphate it will insure a
reasonably full crop for 1916.

Manila, P. 1., January 10.—
Governor General Harrison has
r:commended that the legislature

The government already has
financed the construction of the
road to the extent of six million
pesos. The war has prevented
the Eaglish company in charge
of the construction from obtair:

work and the governor general
says that government 'ownership
is neceessary for the protection
of the government’s investment,
Early ratification of his recom
