Military drill is being introduced at
Rice Institute. This is one of the
very best forms of physical education
and as soon as gos'oinment aid is se-
cured the training will be on an even
more linn basis.
C. 1. A. is the only school in Texas
that has a course in playground direct-
ion. The class recently held a field
meet in which the potato race high
and broad jumps fifty yard dash and
the wheel-barrow race featured.

da connected with the Crawford-

A Prep's Notion of Examinations.
About once every three months in
our school year there comes a time
which may consistently be culled the
"Reign of Terror." All social activi-
i ties (without which the student body
I of Howard Payne feels lost) aie shut
down; a ban is placed on unnecessary
I conversation reading of any material
I other than- text hooks and the incct-
! ing of any organization. All the nor-
' mal routine of student life is changed

available moment is occupied with
"cramming" lest the memory of some
lost opportunity return to haunt after
the doom is pronounced "flunked."
At examination times the teachers
have an immense advantage. No mat-
ter how unjust the whole procedure
may seem to the student ho dares not
lift u linger in remonstrance for fcai
uf tho deadly penalty of failure at
the teacher's hands. He asks ques-
tions the student never heard of be-
fore is not able to answer cares noth-
ing about and never expects to see
again. The teacher gives an exami-
nation which he does not want and
loes not need; the pupil must take it
although he does not want it and
thinks he does not need it. Then af-
ter hours of painful "cramming"
tvhen the questions arc placed on the
hoard the unhappy student finds that
"he hasn't asked a thing that 1 stud-
ied about!"

I'he High School has its trouble in fi-
nancing athletics as others do. They
lave only one resource other than gate
receipts from the games; that is a con-
tribution from the business men. The

their uthletics and consequently full
buck upon the business men for dona-
tions. Thiee calls for the same pur-
pose evidently becomes annoying yet
they have never failed to respond.

As for the advisability of this stop
in Howard Payne College we can re-
member when there was a great deal
more interest along this line than
now. There was once a basket ball
team that the college was proud to
root for but for the luck of system
and organization this has died down.
There can be no doubt but that the
