EDITORIAL 15 a machine to do. In sh-ort, whether we are at work on the farm, in thc factory, in business or in the professions, we must work with our heads and our hanids. Success can be hewn -out in 110 other way as well. The farmer who knows soil and trhereby makes 'his land produce a double crop has his less informed com- petitor beaten before lhe begins. So it is in all human ac-tivity. The race is to the strong intellectually, to the man with a trained mind. The great func-tion of the school is to teach you to think, not to fill you with information soon to be forgotten. The problems which you are to meet in the future must be thought ou-t. In the solving of them little 'help can be had from books or from friends. Cramming will not avail, tears will not help, favoritism will not be shown, and no mistakes will be made in the marking. The 'world will soon take your measure with unerring accuracy. Fortunate, indeed, will you be if by your honesty, ability, energy, and industry you can force a verdict in your favor. I recall a student of former years who seldom spoke unless 'addressed ibut whose work was marked by the accuracy and neat- ness with whidh it was done. Recently I omerved him as he went about his work as chief electric-ian in charge of -the terminal in New York City where a very small mistake would 'cost thousands of dollars and possibly many lives. Thoughts are powers, Words only symbols, mere prattle without Well arranged thoughts behind them. Someone has said that all of tlhc words in Daniel Web- ster's great speech made in rep-ly to Mr. Hayn-e, were in Noah Weibster's dic- tionary, the only rdrifferenice being -in their arrangement. Talk little, think muelh-then act. Of all your assets, remember that honesty is the greatest. Plain old- fasthion honesty. If you have missed this as an element of your character you are to be pitied and your failure is certain. If you possess this pearl of great- est price, your success is assured from this moment, your friends and business associates wil'l honor and respect you and above all you will have the satis- faction of your own aplproval. Your friends expect fmueh ,of you. Go out into the world with a strong heart, a clear head, and unafraid to grapple 'with its problems, determined to solve them for the general .good of all 'men and you cannot fail. He that would be greatest amongst you let him strive to serve his fellows to tihe best of his ability in whatever line of work he may undertake. I I
