Show THE DIXIE OWL From Our Officers The farmer often asks the veterinarian the cure for certain diseases which occur among farm animals. The answer which the veterinarian generally gives to this question is: An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. It is easy enough to acquire a habit, but it is a great task to break ones self of a habit after it has been acquired. The police force of the Dixie Normal College is going to use the ounce of prevention to keep students from catching the disWe think ease of lawbreaking. this will be easier than waiting until they have acquired the habit and then try to break them of the habit by using the pound of cure. If we check one case now it will save ten later on. We, the police force, purpose to do all we can to keep a clean record for our school this year. Rodney Snow, Corn, of Discipline. It is characteristic of all institutions to have individuals that have not fully adjusted to the standards of the organization. In the past it has been the practise of most all organizations to prey upon the instinct of fear to bring about this necessary adjustment. The Mosiac law has been in force, more or less. If an ordinance is violated, the penalty is predetermined regardless of the intention of the culprit or any surrounding the crime. It is the aim of the present court to make students feel that it is to help, rather than to suppress them. They must feel that they are the court, and not a separate and distinct organism. Nine tenths of all crime in the institution comes about as a result of failure to sense the importance of the regulations. If we can supply this deficiency our problem will be solved. There is absolutely no justification for punishment that does not make the offender realize that he has committed an offense. With these ideals before us we hope to bring about a united student body with one end in view moral progress. Willard Alger, Judge. Dear People, here is Number I, Volume II of the Dixie Owl; we hope that it is as wise as an owl should be, as funny as an owl may never be, and that it tickles your souls with a satisfaction like unto that felt by Mr. Tanner when he surveys a new bug. If you disapprove of the wit or wisdom, or their lack, in the Owl, do so in private; for this Owl, being a Dixie Owl, will not be out hooted. Long hours of painful labor have generated in the hearts of the Editors a great affection for this Owl an affection of the sort that says, he may be a bit ruffled and have his hat over one eye, but dont you dare laugh! and so, Love me, love my dog. Venice Hopkins, Editor. I am in sympathy with the Student Body and the Student Body Government. As Business Manager I intend to uphold the faitJi the students have placed in me, and do my part to make this a successful year for the Dixie Normal College. Arthur Pax man, Business Manager. In the beginning man was made. And the Maker said Let For be there be newspapers. it known unto all kindred, tongues and people, that the greatest instinct of mhn and woman (?) is curiosity. And Whereas, by the divine heln of editors, printers, report- - 5 ers, devils, and so forth, newspapers spread broadcast throughout the land truths, a very wholesome diet for the curiosity to feed upon; And Whereas, we have many truths to spread abroad concerning our Dixie Normal College; the many acres of its broad fields of thought; the excellent quality of its afmosphere of sunshine, smiles, and frowns when (he buildings are cold; the congenial character of its students bind teachers; Therefore, I, Mary Woodbury, give thanks for newspapers, that the world may not become narrow nor perish mentally for lack of information concerning our wonderful Dixie Normal College.
