'';-\ just and a lasting peace" is now the password with all. After this great conflict. from which we haw· come vic torious. we arc ready to throw ounelves into anything which is for the hcst of al\..and \vhich will go to prevent another such Armag-eddon. 'l"he whole world is cndea\·oring to reach a la,1ting peace which will mete out Ju�tice to all: for as long as there i3 injustice there cannot he peace-such is the law of compensation. \,Vint is this thing ca1\ed Justice? ];.; it a worthless idea which has proved a failure?· >Jo! It came into being with the world and ha.s b�conH':, more ancl more, the rnling influ ence ever since. 1t is embodier\ in Christianitv and it is best expressed in the Golden Rule. All the worl,\ is 1110\·ing· for ward under its pressure: and the most civilized cotmtries oi the world-those who come the nearest to fulfilling Justice are at the helm. This ideal is ever present and its effects are seen in all things, small or great. It seems .at tirrn:s· that the worlc\ has lost all sense oi this ideal but there is always retri bution. lt i� never absent but it sometimes lacks defenders to hold up its standards. The American nation is founded on the principles of Justice for -all-and therefore we should t'On sider this great ideal as part of our patriotism and common endeavor. Our responsibilities of the present call for Justice as does 011r fut.ire. The labor problem, the greatest problem of our age, calls for a strict application of this ideal-and it will receive it. The more this principle of Justice is taught, the easier will be the solution of this problem. The call oi the l'uture is for !\'Ten of Justice, and we must answer the call! For this reason it has been deemed fitting that we dedi cate this El Espiritu de 1919 to these ideals of Justice, Peace and Right and lo one who ga\·e his all that they might be presen·ed. Page Six

Oh, 'tis Springtime! It is Springtime! And the budding Aowers and trees, Tell of life that's just awakening With the warming, fragrant breeze. Now the hills are seen to shimmer With a velvet robe of green; "Daisies" nod among the grasses, And "Buttercups" are seen.
Jolly "Johnny-Jump-Ups" bright And nodding "Blue Bells" gay, Tell us that the summer comes; ;;Shooting Stars" show us the way.
Everywhere on hill Or valley, "Eschscholtzia'' lifts her golden shield, Till the sunshine is reflected From that California field.
Glory! Glory everywhere! .¡ Happy birds make music, r3.re. And the world is filled with frgarance From the wild-flowers bright and fair.
Oh, 'tis Springtime! It is Springtime! The flowers with their joyous glow Seem to 611 the world with glory. And God, alone, has made it so.

The Student Body of Claremont High School has this year faced difficulties never dreamed of in former times. The greatest. perhaps. was the lack of tmity and school spirit. due to the several interruptions. \Ye have had to omit several of our most cherished activities. such as clehating, a certain amount of athletics, and even some class insignia. These might not be so important, were it not for the fact that every other activity was either hurriedly pushed through. or interfered with, the result being that the school enthusiasm was par tially, dampened. But nevertheless, the icw activities we have undertaken, have on the whole been most whole-heartedly entered into by a large number of our members. \,Vhen we look back over the records of our actions for the Red Cross, we have nothing to he ashamed of. The work: \vith dramatics. what there was of it, was considered by many to be the best in our history. The participants in the athletics showed a strong determina tion to make good. All the activities, in short, while perhaps hampered, have nevertheless been of sterling quality, and the persons who have taken leading parts in the affairs deserve the hearty thanks of the entire school. .· It is to be hoped that next year our work will be entirely uninterrupted, and that w,t>, can say without a twinge of con science that Claremont High School has in every respect been through the most successful and honorable year of its exist ence. I am sure we can. �L. B. S

The appearance of the Clare mont High School News and Views in March, 1916, was the first start towards the building up of a school paper. The next year the office of Editor of the Xews and Views was added to the list of officers elected at the end of th€ year. The Editorship was incorporated in the Executive Committee, and the office was placed in the constitution which put the News and Vie\VS on a permanent basis. We had hoped that the News and Views could expand this year but for several reasons this was impossible: the space in the Claremont Courier was limited to a certain extent; and on account of the influenza and the added work after returning to school it was necessary that some of the entertainments and activities be omitted this year. Since the school was doing much more than the usual work, time was Scarce
Edi/or, M.£.GARDNER
and it was necessary to put in only the essentials. In the coming years, however, we hope through the co-operation of Mr. Bell, that this department may be enlarged upon and pos sibly in future years the High School may edit a paper of its own, similar to "The Student Life" of Pomona College, where all matter of school interest may be brought before the students and public. The aim of th'.s year's Editors is to make more firm the foundations for a schoo! pa_ner in the future. As Editor of the News and Views T wish to thank the former editors of the News and Views for their valuable assistance and Miss Lockwood who has devoted a part of her time each week to the paper. The Editor is heartily grateful for their assistance and that of others who have assisted in building up a school paper.1Iilton Gardner, '20. Page f-"iitcrn

Bates i\Iilitary training has at last been established on a firm basis in C. H. S., thanks in part to the efficient instruction of Lt. Russell Adams, our commandant. The boys, by thl!ir enthusiastic assim ilation of the fundamentals of military order and dril1 also have done much toward making the Company the well trained organiza tion that it has become. An attempt was made last year to form a unit of this sort, nnd although the company drilletl only a semester, a very good preparation was made for this year's corps, Three-fifths of the company this year was made up of boys who had had al lenst this half-year's training and the result was very ap1>arcnt in their work. For the first two months we were without an i11structor other than the officers chosen by the members of ihe company from their number but at last the services of Lt. Adams, a graduate of the Oflicers' Training School at the Presidio, were secured and the work progressed rapidly and efficiently under his charge. We arc very fortunate in having such a capable director as Lt. Adams, for under his instruction the corps may become efficient enough to be eli1d , ble to membership in the California Hijlh School Cadet Corps. This would entitle us to uniforms and guns, which would be an inspira tion toward a soldierly sense of duty and responsibility, by which great things could be accomplished, not only in our military affairs but also in our every day conduct in life.

An ]�eal j(joue A rrue Story The gusts oi rain beat on the window pane and my friend. Forest. and I huddled closer to the flickering blaze in the fire place. \\'c had been staring into the flames and thinking and talking and dreaming and seemed almost to be in a world of thoughts rather than in one oi realities. :\ly friend remarked on this phase of life and wondered. as he said, how much of one's own world is real and how much is created for one's own self by his imagination. \\"c had been talking of people we had known pre,·ious to this remark, and we resumed our corn·crsation along that line. but for some inexplicable reason ,the trend of our thought now took a rather dreary t1m1. in tl111C perhap:-, with the howling wind and beating- rain. Then suddenly Forest straightened up and said in an intense voice. "I must tell someone. yes. I will tell vo11, about the hest friend and the most hrilliant man I ha,·c c;.cr known ·· This story has since so grasped my imagination that I too. tell it. It is true. and the qncstions that it raises and partly answers have imheddcd themselves in the Yery tissues oi my brain. l will repeat it as nearly as l can in the way it was related to me on that stormy night long ago ;.I was first introduced- to this man.·· my friend began, .. we will call him Donilc.-when I came as a Freshman to the unin.'rsity. Because of some strange whim. he took a fancy to me. crude and insignificant tho r was. and aiter a short ac quaintance we arranged to room together. r\nd as for my rc ganl for him and his ability. it amOlmtcd pra,cti-cally to wor ship.

The article concluclecl with the question, ;.\,\'ould you care to be treated in a similar manner, by these same people? Resist them now!'' In talking it over with �Ir. Chang, both were conYincecl that these articles were a direct at .-\merica, and 1Ir. Lee knew that ii they were ·read to any great extent by the poorer, uneducated class of Chinese, who hclie\·e every thing they arc told, trouble was bound to result. Immediate action was necessary! �[r. Lee telegraphed to the nearest American consul and later. sent both the pa . pers and the translations on to him, day by clay. The consul's answer instructed �fr. Lee to sec the \'.clitor of the paper and discover his motiYe for publishing the·· articles, and to report any new cle\·elopments of the case, l\fr. Lee called on the editor, and found a �olitarY man at the office. A few of the clay·s papers were lying- on a table, inviting inspection. _--\ numb'er of scrolls hung, old and dusty, on the walls, bearing time worn insniptions to any who would pause and look. On the left. a set of fancy-can-cd, straight backed chairs. with little tables for sen·ing tea separating them, stood. more for looks than for comfort. This man, who was seated at his desk, rose as �fr. Lee entered, and motioned him to one of these scats. Then :.'Ir. Lee asked, .. fs the editor in?.. The man answered... J b"long editor." Having seemed his man, �fr. Lee said, taking np an issue of the paper, "\\/hat do yon mean by endangering the lives and property oi American citizens, by publishing such trash in your newspaper?" The editor understood the tone, but not the words. ··J no savvy Engleesh. I b"long editor." l\Ir. Lee Page Forty-five
then transferred to Chinese, explai,�in"g how injurious the articles were to the Americans. On being cornered by we.11directed questions. the editor sullenly admitted the publica tion of the articles. and said. ·· 1 got them from a book which was sent to me irom Tokio. I printed them in order to fur nish a little "hou wan" or i:oocl fun, for mv subscrihers. Of course they will not do any harm." But ncvCrthcless. he stout ly withheld the names oi any people i1wolved. Goaded to desperation by further questions the editor grew defiant, but he was warned against printing the series an�· further. The man. seeking to rid him:-elf of a troublesome Yisitor. told some polite lies. but refused to present or surrender the hook. and the articll's continued to appear in daily succession. However. the case soon got to0 big for :\Ir. Lee to handle alone. One day, a ship came into the harbor. with white sides. a yellow funnel and masts. and flying- the American flag. It was the L.

A meeting of the town council, which controls local affairs. was ha:-.tily called and the matter discu:,;sed. They di<l not wish to lo::-e the g-ood iricndship of the .--\mcricans. nor di(\ they relish the prospect of incurring the further enmity of Japan. The Japanese had threatened the editor and all concerned with indescribable disgrace ii they released the book. and on the other hand. ii it were not produced. the ,--\merican gun boat would begin firing at once. They were in a very serious dilemma. The next day. they asked for an extension of time. and the Captain under the direction of :\lr. Lee. granted 15 minutes.
