If not, then you are merely exist- ing instead of living. This life is a compar- atively short span, when one reflects on the water that has already flowed under the bridge of time. Too many of us are living a give me life rather than a giving oneg a life that is not being enriched by giving, but one that is being made empty by get- ting. Most of us have not grasped the funda- mental fact that what we want isn't to be given something but to give. It isn't having everything that can content us. For it is the hands denied the right to give that re- main empty. Emptiness is abhorred both by nature and spirit. It cannot be cured by giftsg only by giving. lt is more blessed to give than to receive, is not a rhetorical sentence. It is the sober truth. I NED GREENSLIT, Principal. Education as we inherited it was de- vised for clerks-either in the holy orders or in the learned professions. Parents sent their young boys to study languages and mathematics. It was a laborious procedure, but the only promising path to scholarship. Few pupils found work for which this schooling was a fitting prelude. An educational system which consists of mental education exclusively, neither acknowledges nor trains more than a frac- tion of human faculties and character. It is largely a survival of times and of absolute circumstances. The cumulative effect of the system is increasingly serious as modern fashions of life replace the. past. The present and future educational system must envisage specific characteristics, talents and futures of our students. It must stress the arts and crafts as well as words and theses. Then it will march in a new direction by sending children into the world not with a certificate of proficiency in un- congenial tasks, but with equipment and aptitudes for improvement of their own tal- ents and interests. FRANK L. HOLMES, Superintendent of Schools.

Holmes, Superintendent. Board of Education The parents of the students of the Central City Schools and people of the com- munity have such great faith in education that the election of a conscientious and eflicient Board of Education is considered a great issue. Annually, two prominent citizens are elected as members of the Board of Education. They are subject to re-election and some members of the board serve for several years. To the Board of Education we are grateful for the fine building and the supplies that we enjoy. The insight ancl judgment with which they have chosen our teachers, serve to show us how much faith they put in the value of efficient instruction. ln the a secretary. ln the Nlcl-largue well regulated oflice of every executive, one finds His duties are many and greatg his fame is small. office of Superintendent Holmes, we find Eugene as the right-hand man. ln addition to doing the secretarial work, he answers phone calls, carries messages, and takes care of all the wants and troubles of both students and teachers, and does much to keep the high school running smoothly. Although he seldom receives the assurance of it, his ef- forts are much appreciated by students and faculty alike.
