youngster is only 17 y ea rs old and has 
two more years in th e leagu e.

to succumb to the onslaught of 
the orthographical machine gun 
failed to include the right letters

has our admiration.

THE INTERSC HOLASTIC 
M EET AND THE 
STATE.

DR. SHI UTER.

Upon the culmination of the 
most successful of the Univer­
sity 
Interscholastic meets, we 
wish to congratulate Professor 
E. I). Shurter, the man who has 
done most to develop the Univer­
sity Interscholastic League, the 
man who has 
for six years 
in his ef­
worked unceasingly 
forts to extend its usefulness. 
Dr. Shurter occupies an enviable 
position. For few indeed there 
are who have such an opportu­
nity to exert themselves 
in a 
manner so directly serviceable to 
the State.

Another h i g h l y successful 
Interscholastic meet has ended. 
The good that has been done can 
not be estimated, 
for an ap­
praiser would needs take into his 
calculation the impetus that has 
been given to the development of 
the mental, moral, and physical 
being of every one of the fifteen 
thousand or more who partici­
pated in the multitudinous pre­
liminary meets. The University 
of Texas as an institution has 
been the gainer, of course. Stu­
dents will come here to school 
who might have gone elsewhere. 
But the prospective increase in 
enrollment here is the most in­
considerable result of the whole. 
The State of Texas has been 
done a lasting good. Boys and

Texan is improved. For, have 
not fifteen thousand school boys 
and girls actually exercised their 
bodies, their minds, and their 
moral being more 
they 
would otherwise have done? 
Then if fifteen thousand Texas

boys and girls have been 
proved, the average Texan has 
been improved.

self-confidence 

And not least of the whole­
some benefits arising from the 
work of the league has been the 
development of a greater sense 
of 
self­
respect on the part of hundreds 
and hundreds of boys and girls 
by reason of their competition 
in athletics and oratory. They 
in a 
have been participants 
worth-while activity. They have 
tried hard to win, whether they 
won or not. They have deter­
mined to win before they quit. 
The very fact of the opportunity 
to compete with the strongest 
competitors in their school, their 
county, their district, and finally 
in the State, has made possible 
an enlargement of 
self­
respect of the average pupil, and 
has broadened him by reason of 
the competition with other stu­
dents 
from many different 
places.

Furthermore, every one, of 
these fifteen thousand boys and 
girls are better Texans. They 
know more about their State, its 
institutions. They are more im­
bued with the spirit of the State. 
The whole process has tended to 
solidify Texas spirit by showing 
the thousands of public school 
students that they are a part of 
a tremendous system, the public 
school system of Texas, and citi­
zens of a tremendous State.
