A country cannot progress beyond the mental capacity of the majority of its citizens. There may be outstanding leaders, but think with what greater strides we could go forward, if these leaders had all well-trained citizens as followers. In a democracy such as the United States the need for better trained citizens is even a greater requisite than in dictatorships or some other form of government. If the people are not able to think for themselves, they cannot be intelligent voters. Along with the advantages that a democracy brings with it, are the responsibili- ties which one must be able to assume with a high regree of efficiency. The educated are more tolerant toward the ways and customs of others. When they know each other better races can become more friendly. The opportunities for the educated citizen are greater now than ever before. It is the trained person, the one whose natural abilities have been enlarged, that is Wanted. We Seniors, in a sense, are trained, but more than high school training is needed to become a success. In this World of keen competition there is a demand for men and women. who can do at least one thing well. Education should not stop with Commencement Exercises, but should continue all through life. If you are not able to attend college, do not be discouraged, for Orison Swett Marden says, The world is a great university. From the cradle to the grave we are' always in God's great kindergarten, where everything is trying to teach us its lesson, to give us its secret. It all depends upon the eye that can see, the mind that can appropriate. ' -E. MCC.
