I run EDITORIAL People who are interested in formulas for success notice the word Vision recurrently in the different prescriptions for attainment which they see and hear. They see the word in the advertisements for courses in Self-Improvement, in the articles in the inspirational magazines, and in the statements of successful men of affairs. They hear the word from the pulpit, on the lecture platform, and in the addresses of the perrennial Commencement speaker. In concrete terms Vision means having a definite objective towards which one is working. Vision means living one's life according to a plan instead of making it only a succession of days whose activities have no meaning beyond themselves. People who have been successful in a large way tell us that in plan- ning their lives they have followed the architect's method of visualizing the whole structure first and then working the details so as to make their vision an actuality. In relation to life our ambition is the completed structure and each one of our activities must be a definite contribution towards its realization, if our goal is to be attained. Every High School furnishes numerous examples of students who are caused embarrassment and suffering because of their lack of Vision. This is noticed most at graduation time when many Seniors discover that they have to make changes in their plans which affect their whole lives. They failed to look ahead when they entered- High School and so some find out that they have not satisfied the entrance requirements for the college of their choice, others discover that they can't pursue the particular course they want because they elected the wrong course in High School. Still others cannot finish with their class because they have not chosen their subjects in such a way as to fulfill the requirements for graduation, and then there is a group, who, although they graduate, find themselves not so well pre- pared for the work they are doing or the course they are pursuing as they might be if they had chosen their High School subjects with a view to what they wanted to do later. WVhat is the remedy for this very unfortunate condition? ft lies, first of all, in the mind of the student himself. He should come to High School with a dehnite objective in mind and his course in school should be merely a step towards a goal which he keeps constantly before him. But what about the boy or girl who enters High School with no particular Objective? School authorities, realizing the value of an objective for a pupil and the need he has for guidance in selecting it, and the help he often requires in attaining it, have provided assistance for him in the person of the Vocational Counsellor. The Vocational Counsellor aims to help the student find the work he is best Htted for and aids him in choosing the studies which will give him the most help towards that work. The Counsellor also has information concerning the entrance requirements for colleges and with his assistance, students can plan their courses so that there need be no waste. It is desirable that every student enter High School with Vision sufficient to fet him see clearly where he is going and to see just how his work in High School fits into the plan of his objective. If he has not a definite goal when he enters, let us hope for the success and happiness of his whole later life that he secures one early in his High School career. 7
