Q . . 0 ur Princlpalvs Vlewpoint There is an old saying that Nall men are brothers under the skini' but my own observation is that we judge more by the askin itself than by what is under it. We judge by exteriors, by the clothes, by the way the hair is done, by the pronunciation, or by the manner of speech. These may be signs, but we must learn to give them no more than their proper evaluation. We must learn to look deeper than these exteriors in judging our fellow men, and be ready to recognize and appraise other less evident values- honesty, courage, loyalty and integrity of character. Our false evaluation of outward signs is based on our limited experience and our prejudices. Therefore, we need more experience, broader and deeper. During our school years we need to learn to look for the fundamental things rather than at the superficialg the inward, not so much the outward, the important, not the trivial. Our boys in far away lands and across the seven seas are learning this in their dealings with elemental matters in the present struggle to retain civilization. I trust that what they develop among the boys of other lands in the way of a deeper tendency toward mutual understanding, they will share with us on their return.
