1937 IHi THE TOOT S 1937 SfxS yb5$S$$£ Sf §f$$ ?$$ $§ ?$$ ?$$ ?'$% £ EDITORIAL THE young members of the grad uating classes of today are the men and women of tomorrow,—a day which is a very short time away. To some there is a premature dawn and their schooling must be cut short at the c'ose of their secondary education To these, a high school education is the standard by which positions are judged and the position, although pos- sibly humble, must be worth-while and honest to live up to this standard. A college education, however, is avail- able to some who are more fortunate. To this class of graduates the neces- sary secondary education is a basis for future education in higher schools of learning. Many students, however, do not complete even a preliminary training, and leave school at an early age to face unprepared the difficult trials of life. It is this class of youth that is gaining a police record and is becom- ing a menace to society. Commissioner Thayer of the State Department of Correction has shown that few con- victs have a high school education and that the average length of school- ing among prisoners is between 4 and 5 years. By these statistics we can see that an investment in a high school education is a good insurance against crime. Mrs. W. T. Bost, Commissioner of Public Welfare of North Carolina. w.ites, “the public school is the best agency yet devised for developing cit- izenship.’’ With these things in mind we can honestly and conscientiously advise students to continue their studies in order that they may more easily pre- pare a proper place for themselves in this already over crowded world. Like- wise we recommend college to our fellow graduates who have the op- portunity for higher education. Years well spent away at school with people of discriminating minds and a spec- ialized outlook on life furnish insur- ance against relief rolls and prison records. “The devil easily finds something for idle hands, and we, the citizens of tomorrow, should feel that it is our duty to prepare ourselves to the best of our ability before accepting Ihe responsibilities of a troubled world. With this parting advice we leave our fellow students who have not yet reached the top rung of the high school ladder, and we sincerely hope that, year after year, we may see an ever increasing graduating class, each member of every class a graduate of the school of good citizenship as well as of the school of general knowledge —FREDRIC C.
