The musical feature, a corn.inunity
song, lead by the orchestra, was fol-
lowed by a piano solo ley Alice Wil-
liamson, "Butterflies", a solo as deli-
cate cafe and gorgeous as its titre, would
suggest.
The journal was then read by Har-
old Ackert, theconsulting editor,
who was asked to step into the breach
in the absence of the . Editor, Mr.
Stuart Mackenzie. A generous abridge-
ment follows:
The Journal
Wingham'High School
Nov. ;21,, 1924
We wish to express our: regrets that
our Editor -in -Chief, Stuart Macken-
zie, has been very ill, and not able to
take part in any of the activities of
the school. However, his improve-
ment
mp ove-inent gives us the happy hope that he
soon will be with us again.
Editorial
The Journal is at your ' service to
give you a means of .self-expression
in your school life that you would not
otherwise have. We want to keep
burning the fires of any literary abili-
ty that inay have been kindled by the
spark of inspiration.
It is not, unusual for some teachers
to go into literary work, and since
there are so many departments • to
journalism we will endeavor to keep
the columns of the Journal open to
any well written article no matter
what sphere o, f human interest it may
explore.
Even if you are not going to. be a
journalist, you owe it to your fellow
creature to offer wholesome intelli-
gent interest in tlie. solving of social
problems, and people ought to have
an occasional expression from you
of your opinion, on matters of public
concern.
So practise here, using the Journal,
and it may be more than practice, for
even here you might contribute some
useful idea that will work, as a leaven,
and later bring; something worth,
while to the world.
The Journal cannot print every-
thing that is handed in, but it appreci-
ates generous contributions. Practice
makes perfect in- newspaper or liter-
ary work, as in anything else; and the
writing of even a rejected article will
prepare you to write a more excellent',
article later. Of course much is not
published simply because we haven't
room, This week there is much left
out that we wotrld.like to have print-
ed, because it certainly was well writ-
ten. But these :ornmissions will pre-
pare you for what occurs in actual
life, for newspapers and magazines
cannot print one fifth of what is Sent
in' to then.
Try to get rid of the idea that only
jokes are acceptable. Reports of hu-
morous incidents that actually are
connected with school life are' wel-
come, but we don't want madeover
copies from Punch and the Literary
Digest.
Current Events
• Injurious 'Literature
On November 19th., Justice Ford
of the Supreme Court of the United
States said. that criminal abscently is
being taught throughout the country
by a flood of unseemly and, indecent
books ;and magazines and pictures
that make an appeal to the baser na-
ture of our youth. Newsdealers and
publishing 'companies: encourage this
because of the' money there' is in it
for thein; nor do they care for the
wreckage of happiness and character
that follows in its wake. We at least
can frown on this stag(' express
our contempt for the dealer that
Handles it,.
Military Despotism
Ibanez, the Spanish author, says
Spain is gagged and her hands tied by
the despotism, of her military Direct-
ory, while England, one of the lead-
ing
eading countries of the world, is govern-
ed by civilians, 'by liberals. •
The Ruthless 1Vlurderous Motorist
An .expert motor mechanic testifies
that the car was going fifty exiles per
hour, driven by the son of a wealthy
ran, .in Newfoundland, who struck a
number of men, killing six 'at one
time. Over thirty seven are killed
every day by motor cars. If we can't
coetrol•our lust for pleasure derived
froin: motoring, we had better quit
motoring.
China's New Hope in Her Women
Although most people have nothing
good to say about China onaccount
of the, bloody revolution which snakes
that country such art unsettled spot,
one observer at least finds a good
portent for the future in the rise of
the Chinese women,
The New Woman of Chins. has
emerged from the Inner Chamber of
social Seclusion, In contrast with the
past, she is freely walking on the
streetso going into public places con-
versing with '.(item 'other f.han rat..

a;essful completion of any project or
problem which the society or body
sets aut,to perform.
And •yet some phases of our school
life show great lack of this spirit,:
Competition in our activites is a good
thing; but it is just this which, if car-
ried to extreme, will do more to ruin
and eliminate any school spirit than,
anything else. individual success of-
ten tends to make one forget the bo-
dy, and thus, if one is continually
seeking his own end, the "esprit -de -
„corps” is destroyed.
But if the right spirit is encouraged,
the individual attainments will fall in-
to their proper proportions, and the
school organization will feel a new
life whichwill enable the literary so-
,ciety of 1924-25 to set up a standard
that will compare favbrabiy with.
those of other years.
The orchestra then entertained us

three fields of endeavor, Vie profess-
i'ous, business, and philanthropy;
There are women bankers, and law-
yers, dentists, and .druggists, and
many who are shining lights as'educa-
tionalists and philanthropists. But
the most interesting group are the
doctors. Many, stories can be 'told of
Chinese lady doctors, One girl, not
e1studied' ' me a and
yet thirty. has in A r c
is now a doctor le Centel.' where she
runs a hospital' for' women and chil-
dren, as; well as a training school for
nurses. There are many Chinese
girls who are following this young doc-
tor's footsteps.
In. political life the ladies are com-
ing forward. In 1922 three women
sent a, petition to parliament which.
asked that certain grievances 'of the
women be ended by an act of parlia-
ment, and through their .untiring ef-
forts the act has. come into force.
And lastly, in the lnissien` work,
many native , girls have been trained
to help their less fortunate sisters.
Many have started in the lcindergart-
en and gone 'on till they received
scholarships from Harvard, Yale, and
Wellesly colleges, •a. thing which was
never heard of until -'the last few
years.
Thus we see the women of China
are beginning • to win a place for
themselves in the world's activities,
and theywill undoubtedly be of great
assistance in ushering in a better era.

When I Grow Up.
From Form I A
When I grow up I would like to be
a famous doctor and surgeon. My
reasons for . choosing' this profession
are briefly:
--
I would like to be a saver of some-
thing, and if not a saver of souls, I
would like to be a saver of bodies.
I am gping to do unto others as I
would have them do unto me, and be
fair to all. Once a little boy, having
been, told to write a ,composition on
"\-When I Grow Up" - sat back and.
wrote nothing on. his paper. When
the teacher, seeing this, asked Lhe'
boy the reason, he replied that he was
going to be a millionaire, and was go-
ing to do nothing.
But there is a drawback toa doc-
tor's life. . He has to tend the. sick
people when he should be sleeping,
and has to be ,away from his family'
most of the day working in his of-
fice. But there is consolation in the.
fact that somebody is benefitting by'
his labours other than his wife and
himself.
1 will try to live an honest. Christ-,
ian life, ,giving" one tenth: of my earn-
ings to the Lord. I shall make .my'
motto either business first, pleasure
last, or the Golden Rule. I will try
to be generous to 'anyone.. who is in
need of help, and willmake my
money' my last aim, andnot hoard it
like a miser.

Play the Game
Here in the fields of, play—and. there
In the fields_of life to which you fare
O. Beys, foreverlet the same
Desire be yours to play the game.
A. lesser joy is his who tries
Merely to snatch a victor's prize.
To win should be the second aim
Of ''those who wish to play the game.
I..et no ignoble arts alloy
The . gold ofstrife, the eager joy;
But' truth Muerte with steady flame
The sonis df those"v'ho play the game.
The heat of struggle on the field,
That inay be foiled but will not yield,
Shall never bring a soil of blame,
On those who failed, yet played the
game.
