The school is responsible, in a great measure, for the moulding of men 'S lives, for it is there that the valuable experience of p01'SOIlil.l contact with different personalities, conditions and ideals is obtained. In tl1e school the character is developed and broadened. There natural tendencies in the wrong direction are stamped out and those in the right direction are aided and developed, not thru force but thru gradual evolutio11. There the spirits of altruism and give and take are developed. These things carry over into life and upon them success is built. The things learned and the friends made in school are what control our lives, for school experience and the experiences of life outside the school merge together. There is 110 time when learning in school ends and learning in life begins. Not only a1'e things obtained in school which make for success in thc society of others, but the concrete knowledge which makes a successful busi- ness man is also gained there. In a country such as ours, where there are so many advantages, it does not seem possible that a person can go thru life without receiving an educa- tion. Every one has a right to an education. It is just a matter of how badly it is wanted. Anyone can, if he has the will, obtain just what he wants and needs. A great many people leave school for small reason or no reason at all, and never realize, until it is too late, the handicap they have placed upon themselves. 'l'his handicap brings about, in time, the realization of failure. With added years a person can always see the mistakes made in the past. Why cannot the younger generation realize these things and profit by them? Why can't they look into the future and sec that an education is necessary for success? lf they could only do this the lives of many would be made easier and freer from worry and disappointment, for the things worth while and which make for success are determined, in a great measure, by what is done by thc individual during the plastic period of life which is the time spent in school.
