Show urges Hi OF I COLMDENTS I Principal Homer Believes Influenza Danger is Now Negligible H Matter Here. B. A. C. HAS BEEN RUNNING I SMOOTHLY ALL WEEK H Attendance Is Increasing and No fl New Cases Have Developed fl Little Chance of the "Flu" Get- H ting a Further Foothold Now. M It cannot be too strongly urged up- H on every student who has registered H at the College this year, to return at H an early date. Danger from tho flu M has now become almost a negligible f H matter, for tho reason that thero aro , H only a few families in Cedar that have H not had it and those who have had H it aro not, to any extent, taking it . H ngnin. Wo feel fully justified in urg- H ing all to return. There is always somo H danger from contagious disease, ac- H cidents. etc., but we do not bclicvo H that there is more danger now than in ordinary times. It has been said H that "fear nullifies thousands who H would have been great had they not H been cowards." Let us not be so fear- H ful that we cannot keep tho channels H open that supply the life Btrcam of ,.., H the community when the danger is not $ H overgrent. .H The big thing to keep in mind is H that it is just as important to consol- H idate again as it is to make it in the H first place. Tho difference between H tho gains that the Americans made in H penetrating the Hindcnburg line and H the gains that the Allies had made H prior to 1918, was that the Americans H held their gnins whereas in the ear- JH Her efforts German counter attacks ft H always swept offensive movements ' back. Tho gaining of an education in 1 thenres.ent day is considerable of H a task; too much otVtaBk'to'warrnntpwii h - - OH throwing any of our efforts away. Wo jH are now in tho midst of tho second -sia quarter. Surely there arc few indeed H who are retarded in such a way that H it would pay them to stop now and H throw away the credits that have been H in part gained. Surely wisdom would H suggest even to those who must dis- H continue in the spring, that it would H be butter to finish the quarter. Initia- H tion, consolidation and fruition are a H trinity that go naturally together. H Attendance lias been doubled during H the week and thu careful inspection H service that has been maintained has H not developed a single new case. Ev- H idently the flu is well on the wane. H |
