doing each day's work as it comes along, and you will then have ac- quired that greatest qualification for good citizenship,-the habit of doing each thing well and at the proper time. Besides the daily lessons, there are the other high school activi- ties which should command a certain portion of every student's time. Every community must contend with persons who take not the least interest in any activity but that which gives them a living. They are not the most desirable citizens. We feel that life should be some- thing more than a mere scrambling for dollars and cents. Such peo- ple, however, are in the minority. Most of us want diversions, and we will have them in one form or another. Too often these diversions are harmful. It is the object of every good citizen to introduce into his community such diversions as are morally wholesome. Here again the school fulfills its part by its athletic, general and social interests. We are trying to make plain how necessary it is that you, who are to be future citizens, should take a part in all the high school activities. Probably some of these will not appeal to you. Remember then that one of the great principles of good citizenship is Duty before pleasure,', and that every laudable object should have the hearty support of all. We maythus formulate the above: I. Remember that you are in high school mainly for the purpose of learning the principles of good citizenship. V II. Take an active interest in all the high school activities. III. Regard your studies as you would a serious business propo- sition. IV. Exercise good judgment in determining the amount of time to spend on each branch of high school activity. V. Remember that there is an immense satisfaction in doing things well, and that an immediate as well as an ultimate reward will more than compensate you for all labor faithfully done. F arty-six
