Principal’s Column CHOOL days should not be merely happy days. Boys and girls are entitled to those happy experiences in school culminating in the “thrill” of graduation, which they can carry through life as pleasant memories. But if your school days have meant only “thrills,” it is impossible to justify your time, the sacrifices of your parents, or the expense to which society has gone to keep you in school. At this time it is well that you take stock of what you have acquired during these years. You will perhaps discard as use¬ less much of the knowledge your have acquired. This may not be a serious loss to you if the discarding is done with discrimi¬ nation. There are, however, some things which you have ac¬ quired that should remain with you permanently. May I help you in your stock-taking by suggesting a few of these? First, you should have attained a high degree of skill in the use of the tools of learning. Some of these tools are language, both oral and written, numbers and mathematical methods, the ability to organize the facts you learn and apply them to the problems you have to solve, and a habit of industry which en¬ ables you “to do the thing you ought to do, when you ought to do it, whether you want to or not.” You should also have developed a curiosity about life and its problems which never leaves you satisfied so long as there are unexplored fields of experience and thought. Every one should have a love of truth and the ability to rec¬ ognize it when he meets it. The Great Teacher said, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” The ability to translate our knowledge into action is the real test of its usefulness to us. We say that a man is wise when he is able to use his intelligence to conduct his life in a sane course. We are judged by what we do and not by what we know. Finally, you should have acquired an open mind. By open- mindedness I do not mean a lack of faith in the unseen or a contempt for authority. Rather I mean a willingness to ex¬ amine all the evidence on both sides of any question and to give to each item its just weight in making your decision. When you have once arrived at a decision in this manner, you should be willing to act on it even if it means rejection of old beliefs. Page Sixteen
