JANUARY. 1926 3 SCHOLARSHIP Scholarship, as defined by Webster, is the character and the qualities of a scholar. A scholar, as we know, is one who is under instruction. Young men and young women of today realize as never before, the importance of an education. So apparent are its advantages that even the uneducated can realize it. During the calendar year 1925. the city of Minneapolis, alone, spent approximately $9,165,000 on her public schools, and we are told that the value of the American Public School plant, that is. the grounds, buildings. and equipment, is more than two and one half billion dollars. Hence it is not difficult to realize what the American public thinks of the value of education. Neither is it difficult for one to realize the importance of Good Scholarship as one journeys toward the goal of an education. By scholarship do we mean marks or ratings in the various subjects studied, for instance. English, social science, mathematics? Yes. but we mean something bigger than this. Experience teaches us that the good scholar is the one who can be relied upon to do his best. Study the ratings or marks received by the students in a class and you will find that satisfactory marks in the subjects taught compare very favorably with the marks given in reliability. The good scholar does not necessarily get all A s or Bs. but he is the one who can be relied upon to do his best—even under trying circumstances. We go to school in order that we may be better equipped for the duties of life—in order that we may be better citizens. Let us never forget that this better citizenship to which we so hope to attain, fosters several qualities—chief of which are—Courage. Courtesy. Generosity, Reliability and Obedience. This better citizenship is only attained through the exercise of these qualities. Let us ever be fine and noble in our thoughts and actions. 'This above all to thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
