118 D. M. C. 1. BREEZES what is the object of education? I am afraid we have allowed the real rea¬ son for our schooling to become over¬ shadowed by other reasons more per¬ sonally inclined. I understand that it is to prepare us to become energetic and responsible citizens that we come to school, and if that is not the reason in the minds of our school board, I firmly believe it should be. Let me, as a boy member of the student body, say something which I am afraid we have hitherto neglected to say on many occasions. That is, I would like to pay tribute to the girls of our year for their sterling con¬ tribution to all of our school activities. For it was, we must admit, chiefly due to the splendid work of the girls that we won the musical festival, last year’s field day and countless other events won by Daniel McIntyre. How¬ ever, it is not on their achievements we compliment them, but for the fine I The Where You Get Those YUMMY HOME-MADE PIES Also DINNERS, LUNCHES REFRESHMENTS Kennedy, near Graham Phone 25 073 N. ECONOMY, Mgr. spirit in which they have participated in all activities. For it is not the result gained which counts, but the spirit in which it was done. Now let us not forget the most im¬ portant function of the school, the fundamental ' purpose 0 f our educa¬ tional system. It is to produce persons ready to become good citizens and ready to accept full responsibility of such a trust. For after all the pres¬ tige of our city and country depends directly on how well each citizen ful¬ fils his duty. It is not the political leaders or the government who form the foundation of our social system, but it is the average citizen. For as Noyes says in his poem “The Empire Builders,” it’s not the king’s nor wise men who constitute the Empire but the common people. People today are crying for leaders, but they do not need, more but fewer leaders. Let us look at India—one hundred and twenty million people are following Ghandi, but less than five per cent, know where they are follow¬ ing him. This is but one example of the eifect of leadership. I repeat, what we need today is not leadership, but intelligent citizenship. Citizenship which implies the independent think¬ ing of people, with ability to use their own judgment and, above all, to re¬ spect the rights of others. That is where the high school comes in, for the school plays the most important part in moulding the characters of the young people. And now in closing let me on behalf of the entire student body thank Mr. Campbell and our teachers for all the things they have done for us and the contributions they have made to our lives. And I might say that I feel we might profitably pattern our lives after the examples they have set for us. RONALD TURNER.
