That we have one of the. best college baseball teams in the South is a fact accepted by all. This, coupled with the best coach in the South, seems to as sure an unusually succesful sea son for us. Prospects look bright everyone must admit. Notwith standing these facts, there are some pessimist who do nothing but pickout faults and weak nesses in the team that never ex ists except in his own imagina tion. Those who come under this class are termed "knock ers." Nothing so strongly throws a damper upon the spirit of the students in regard to the team as that a number of these knockers begin to work among us. Knocking a team at Carolina should be an unpardonable sin. Yet there are such degenerates among us as at every other in stitution. Who has not heard such expressions, "if we only had a second baseman, " "Why dosen't the coach do this," "So and so is not getting a square deal," and like expressions slip unaware, but we should not let this happen. Every man at Caro lina should pull with the coach, and with every man on the field, for the success of the team. Knocking can do no good, and it loes much harm. When a team is winning there is comparatively lit:le knocking done, but when the slump comes you bear the hammers from every quarter. Let us guard against this evil and get behind our team and stay there thruegh cloudy weather as well as sun shine. If we do this, not many teams will be able to lick us. Lets go out on the field Monday and show that Lafayette bunch what we as a student body have got. Till; ('AROI INIAN. 'I he Caro inian, the monthly it' ga'inre of the Uni%cl"ersity, :ti lorls an oppo 't un it.y for the palibcation of literary work on ie canrpus. It should be a great incentive for this kind of work. The bulk of the work that al: ;)ears in tis magazine taals upioni the shouldersof the members of I ih' staff. Who is this true? nl!IIy because rnmst of the stu d '.is on t he campus have n< t r'it ti to write. '1 hey hays no in ca.nationi to w: ite b) cause th y have never made a beginning. A:s has been well said by a for mler editor of the Carolinian, 'Scnb Sp' rit'' is .just rs nee magazine as in putting out a strong football team. The writ er of the scrub work will, by practice, become able to put out, varsity material for publication.' Writing does not require so much talent as it does hard, con sistent work. Quoting from an unfamiliar author; "genies is one-tenth inspiration and nine tenths perspiration." This is es pecially true of the art of writing. Of course, many of us lack crea tive ability, but there are many more who have this quality and have not given it an opportuity' of asserting itself. Practice is the only way to learn how to write. There are many who if they would only try, make a beginning, could do something worth while in the world of letters. The abiliity to write with clear ness is not a gift of God, but the result of study and practice. No one knows what he can do until he has made an attempt at least once. Another thing, working along a certain line cre ates interest in the work espee ially, if a degreeof success is ex perienced. The Carolinian is a medium through which a budding genius can give to others the product of his imagination. It is also an in strument for making many, who have not awakened to their own possibilities, interested in literary work. There is no gremter in centive to writing than For one t.) see the products of his pen in urint. SUMMER SCHlOOL. Special Teachers' Course to be Given at Carolina.
