We Peerenf One Snpeeinfeneienf HOWARD D. FOWLIE The Mcasurc of a Man He built the rail-pile as he built the State, Pouring his splendid strength through every blow, The conscience of him testing every stroke, To make his deed the measure of a man. - The parent sitting in on his offspringfs gradua- tion exercises can nurture no greater hope than that said offspring will go out into the world and make his deed the measure of a man. Down through the ages, great minds with ability to portray human thinking in a few words have laid out two lines of endeavor whereby men, or any given man, will effect this end. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote what he was pleased to term an Apology for Idlersf' Walter Foss said, Let me live in the house by the side of the road and be a friend to man, and the incomparable Milton in one of the most beautiful poems of the English lan- guage reconciled himself to his blindness with the words, They also serve who only stand and wait. I have always had a tremendous respect for those individuals who can, thinkingly and know- ingly, lay out the pattern of their lives to do the greatest amount of good with the least expendi- ture of energy and calmly and clearly rationalize their position. On the other hand there seems to be as never before the opportunity and challenge for those in- dividuals who can and will give expression to their efforts in physical force and action. Longfellow says, Let us them be up and doing with a heart for any fate, and, also, Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose. Huxley says, The great end of life is knowledge in action, and Tennyson says, That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do. The Seniors have chosen a most thought provok- ing motto, In ourselves our future lies . One is reminded of Oxnam's words Some men choose the high road and some men choose the low and in between on the misty flats the rest drift to and fro. No one would wish to identify which of the two courses outlined is the high road or the low road for any given individual-one could hope that none of our Seniors would be drifters . If one purposely and thoughtfully elects to sit by the side of the road and be a friend to man, congratu- lations and blessings on him. Conversely let us picture immortal Theodore Roosevelt as he stood before a vast throng in a midwestern city, extend- ed his arms in an all embracing gesture and boom- ed out, I challenge you, therefore, men of Chicago live the strenuous life. Howard D. Fowlie, Superintendent of Schools
