“Everyone has at least one given talent and it is this he must develop to ho hap py and successful, said William Allen White, editor and writer. The way to discover this talent is by practice. It you think you arc interested in a certain line of work, practice doing it for a while. You will soon see by the presence or lack of improvement whether or not you are fitted for the work. Practice makes per- fect, you know, if you are practicing the right thing. Almost all of the unhappi- ness in the world today can be traced to individuals who are trying to fit square pegs in round holes. In other words, they are trying to develop talents which are foreign to them. When a student graduates from high school, Mr. White continued, “he should have, together with his book knowledge, a cognisance of people which would enable him to distinguish between the cheap and false on one hand, and the real and true on the other. Since the life of a child can be influenced most easily between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, one might well consider the four years spent in high school as spent in the school of experience. By this,' he explained, “I mean to say that the mistakes a student makes in high school are the same as those he will make in later life, only they will be less frequent and repeated less often in the future. The chief interest of high school students to- day is themselves and it should be because a student has developed into what he will always be by the time he is fifteen years old, and by the time he is ready to graduate, knows definitely what vocation he will follow. William Allen White began his career as a writer and newspaper man when he quit college to work in a print shop. Promotion carried him through the posi- tions of circulation manager, reporter, advertising manager, manager, editorial writer, and finally editor. At present, Mr. White is owner and editor of The Emporia Gazette. Because William Allen White, as an editor, serves in an adymnis- trative capacity, this sectunx oj the book ,s dedicated to him.
