THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 3 f EDITORIALS f at nlll 1 ig , MII There is so much hooptedo these days about disorders, experi- ments and continued unemployment that naturally one would expect the one hundred forty or more graduates of our school this year to be more or less pessimistic about the future. Not so. Of course optimism is natural in those who are entering college in the fall. Some are matriculating at Skidmore, Syracuse, Union, Johns Hopkins and other colleges, training for medicine, dentistry, law, and teaching. There are, however, many who are not hoping for a college training, but there are no lamentations about their situation. One young man, who has earned a college entrance diploma with honor, states that he can't afford to go to college and he's ready to dig ditches. This seems to be the spirit of those who are faced with the necessity of earning a living. For those, Edward Martin offers this encouragment in Febru- ary's Harpers: Henry Ford never went to college. Of course he missed something, but he escaped the limitations of organized knowl- edge. He did not know and does not know what is impossible, and in that ignorance he is likely to go ahead and do it. He cites also the cases of Edison, the Wright brothers, Lindbergh, Lincoln, Shakes- peare. True, all these were specialists, practicing craftsmanship in science, mechanics, politics, and writing, respectively. Thus it is that no matter what we do, if we bring to it the right spirit, we shall win. Let us concentrate on the mastery of whatever we engage in. Of course we shall make mistakes, all those who work hard do. It is by these mistakes that we learn. Meanwhile there is nothing to prevent the really earnest student from going on with his education through reading, through special classes in nearby colleges, and even through correspondence courses. James T. Harrington.
