F O R E W O R D HEN OUR grandparents attended school they were enjoined to be- come proficient in the three R's-Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic- if they would succeed in their chosen vocations. We are now living in a vastly changed world and under such abnormal conditions that most of the old rules, regulations and precepts which assisted our parents are of little value in enabling us to chart our course through life. Today we have a very different R to consider,-this being REALITY. The curricula of today are planned to fit students for the business and professional world of tomorrow. They are replete with reality. The hobbies and pastimes of present day students present reality in unusually attractive orms, When I was a collegiate student it was possible to leave school during any year of the course, to immediately obtain gainful employment and to carve out a career in the business world. In the present world of reality collegiate graduates and under graduates in search of employment are in competition with University graduates having a superior academic education. In the absence of some special qualification they generally lose out in this competition. The Ottawa Collegiate Institute Board now employs teachers with extra- curricular experience in preference to those without. In the business and professional world candidates for employment with hobbies are rated higher than those without because they have a more general knowledge of the real: ities of the world which they have taught themselves and they also have preference in positions of responsibility because they are -more acceptable risks to bonding companies. The special knowledge which you have gathered outside of academic work ensures your employability and thereafter may make you indispensable to your employer. It behooves us therefore to plan our future early and fit ourselves for both early business employment and advanced professional attainments by supplementing our academic learning with some extra-curricular know- ledge whether it be developed through hobbies or reading or athletics. It is well to remember that the hobby of today may develop the vocation of tomorrow. The student who learns the most of reality through success in his academic Work supported with the knowledge which he has gained for himself in addition should have no fear for the future. Drag sometimes helps to get the job but more often the applicant who succeeds in obtaining employment and in holding it must attribute his success to the fact that he has what it takes. .
