Then dew away with th' gosh-darn things,
That's what my 'pinion is;
An' then we'll hev - some lads 'at's smart,
An' mor'n that they'll know their biz.
There are many literary or other organizations connected
with this institution which have regular meetings at which
things of interest to those who are not members are done.
Once—in—a--while a report of some meeting is handed in.
Once in a while a reporter by continued energetic search finds
a member who knows a little about the meeting. Many times
nobody knows nothing about nothing. The FREE LANCE and
the public would consider it a great favor if the secretaries of
the various organizations would give us regular reports.
"What shall it prbfit , a man if he 'pony' every exam. he
hath and lose his own self-respect."
De Mott has said : "Itis a good thing for a man to get
before the mirror, look himself squarely in the eye, and say,
`old man, can I trust you.'" Whatever others may think of
a man, he himself cannot afford to think himself debased. As
long as a man thinks well of himself he can make others think
the same. If a man loses his self-respect his case is well nigh
hopeless.
Of the true state of affairs one sometimes fears to speak,
more because of what the outside world will say than for any
other reason., That a man will be openly and boldly dishonest
in examinations and class-room work might seem strange.
That a man who has publicly, in writing, promised that he
will be honest in his work could thereafter, openly and pub
licly, do just the opposite seems beyond all reasonable ex
planation. The evil of which we speak is beyond the power
