What is its purpose? They all agreed that the aim of education is to iiveitheugood life, and by this meant ahappy,successful life.Such a life they said would contain seven essential elements which they named in the follow- ing order: , QU Health f2l Command of the fundamental subjects 133 Ethical character C41 Worthy home membership 153 Acceptance of civic responsibility Q63 Vocationalfitness 475 Worthy use of leisure time. Let us set them up as guiding signs on the road to right living. We ere living in a country Which offers us many opportunities to attain any or all of these seven major educa- tional objectives. ' He who lives the successful life must first set up goals and then plan to make the best of the many opportunities life offers. Eastern is a progressive school. It offers you many opportun- ties but it rests with you to take advantage of them. Plan a good life!

He was the son of a very great king and had every- thing he wanted, but he was not satisfied. One day he did a very mean cruel deed. Lo you think his just father let that deed go unnoticed? No,not for an instant. The doer of the wicked deed was placed undera sf- vere punishment. But what was the punishment? The king and some of his officers met and discussed the subject. A plan was finally decided u :on and carried out. The cruel sm was placed in a lake in which he stood with the water up to his chin, andabove his head was plac- ed the most delicious fruit you have ever seen. Now you might think that was not a punishment but wait! What happened when the son tried to quench his thirst? Thewater receeded until he could not get a sip of it. And what happened when he streched up his arm to grasp the fruit? It also receed- ed out of -reach. How tantalizing! Now, I suppose,you know the poor fellovv's name. It was Tantalus and his father was Zeus.
