THE CORONA 7 BIOGRAPHIES For the most part, biographies are considered to be dry and uninteresting stories of people's lives and are shunned by all high school students. Among the current literature are some biographies that are excellent for subject matter, and the appeal they have for the student of high school age. Emil Ludwig, a noted German biographer, has written about some of the world's foremost figures in history, and they are written in such a manner that they can be understood and read by high school students. Among the famous men who have been written about are: Napoleon, Bismarck, Dis- raeli, and a host of others. Biographies should form a very large part of every student's reading. now that the lives of these great men have been portrayed in such a realistic and interesting manner. POLITICS This is the year in which a new President for the United States is to be chosen. If any student is not ac- quainted with the manner in which our President is chosen, it is a good time to learn. ' Politics mean very little to us now. but later on they will become a vital part of our life, and we should become surely informed on this subject before we can become good citizens. A very interesting part of the elec- tion is the choice of the man to be nominated for the l'residency. It is necessary to be able to form some opinion about the fitness of a man for such an ollice, by being able to recog- nize some ability in the candidate rather than relying on party prejudice. Very few students know what a party is. or how it is supported. They say they are Republican or Democrat merely because their parents are. The political game is one well worth study- ing, and we should begin right now. PROHIBITION Looming up in the back of our lives, at present and in the future, is the im- mense question of national prohibition. XVe can well ask what will this ques- tion be when we are of voting age. Will we form the habit of breaking this national law, or will we respect it and try to carry out the ends the law was made for? Here is a question we can apply ourselves to now. lYe can form some opinion on this subject that will influence the lllltltbll either towards prohibition or against it. lt is for us to decide which way we are to turn. VVe have more influence to turn to- ward prohibition than did our fathers, who were brought up before prohibi- tion became a law. lt is only a few more years before we will be called on to pass our opinion. Let's start it off in the right direction now.
