EDITORIALS THE other night I stood on a hill overlooking Cincinnati. The city lay below, a wilder! ness of lights, and from it rose a great hum of activity interspersed with the sharp clang of street cars. Within a few centuries man has built many such cities out of a wild country. To do this he needed physical strength and a farzseeing mind. Today we need those same attributes to carry on his work. The trustees of Hillsdale must have had some such thought when they organized this schOOI. It was built in the midSt of beautiful surroundings outside the city, where health is ensured by the clean country air. A faculty well equipped to prepare us for college was chosen. Here several hours a day are spent in outzofedoor adtivities, which leave us with clear thoughts and glowing bodies, ready to tackle our lessons. It is true that we at Hillsdale study the same things offered by other secondary schools, but there is a difference in the way they are approached Every teacher has breathed life into her subject. Science is a new country to explore; foreign languages are the index to an understanding of foreign people; history is a vast drama unfolding before our eyes; English is a hand which leads us to great characters and great events; mathematics shows us the beauty of logic; art is an outlet for creative ability; and music introduces us to the thoughts that lie behind notes and scales. So, while we are enjoying the accomplishments of other men, we are preparing to build new cities and to make new dreams come true. H. B. Two years ago this June, those who came out to see the site where Hillsdale was to be, saw nothing but a rough, weedtcovered plot. Then workmen came, and labor, iug hard and well under the diredtion of competent people, produced an almost finished building, in less than four months. Class rooms, gym and laboratory were furnished with essentials and then, to make our school more livable and homelike, different indie viduals gave gifts. The surrounding gr0unds were also made more lovely with trees and shrubbery. This year further steps were taken, and the result was that a wellaequipped laboratory and an attractive dormitory were added to Hillsdale. But this is only the shell. It is for us, the girls, to build the soulrthe standards and traditions, and in doing this, to add each year, as the gifts were added, something which will prove our success as workers at the task of completing the whole.
