Z S I l , l OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION TO CENTRAL STUDENTS: Since man must work in order to provide for his own material needs during the years of his life, there is a dignity in honest toil however lowly it may be. Every human being must do his part in the world of work, and even the smallest child should be given light tasks to do. As he grows in years, intelligence, and ability, these tasks should become heavier in proportion to his strength. By the sacrifice he makes in their performance, he learns that every worth- while accomplishment is the result of effort. Gradually he acquires a dignity and sense of pride which arises from the knowledge of his own achievements. From experience with the burdens, as well as the joys of life, he learns the value of things done for him and comes to the full realization that work is a necessity. He finds that it is the medium through which he can make a return to those who have supplied his wants. The progress of this world depends upon the development of ideas. Work is a privilege because it enables man not only to provide an honest, independent living for himself and his family., but it offers him an opportunity to put into action the thoughts that are born in his mind. All of the great inventions and improvements of services are the result of man's experi- ment in workshops, laboratories, and schools. Temporary failure, discouragement, and financial ruin have come to him through trial after trial. But as long as he has the privilege of working and a place in which to work, he keeps on perfecting his plans and developing his ideas, until at last he gives to the world the finished product of his dreams. PAUL IENKINS. Being the possessor of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College and a Master of Arts degree at the University of Missouri, Mr. Ienkins is well qualified for the position as principal of our school. I-Iis extensive knowledge, coupled with a thorough understanding of girls and boys of high school age, makes him a wholly desirable person to lead us.
