A Little Learning A little learning is a dangerous thingy Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Springg There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again. -Pope's Essay on Criticism. Life is one long journey. What short views we have of the way ahead! In our youth we travel fearlessly and because of the bounded level of our brain fail to realize how many and endless are the scenes yet to rise before us. Youth is egotis.n indeed. As a child exultantly takes its first step, it appeals to the parents for praise, and even while doing is rescued from a fall. So youth, even while exulting I have attained , soon discover barriers in his uneven journey. As with scenes, so with labors, we surmount the foothills with satisfaction. Our high school diplomas may compare to the foothills. Egotism again may say I have attained and I know, but only a short time will suflice to :how us that it is Just the Commencement. The test of the deepness of our draught at the Pierian Spring reveals itself in either the egotism or lack of egotitm we possss. Hills pceo o'er hills and Alps on Alps arise. We have just begun our climbinz. If going to school has meant only acquiring facts from text books and making grades, we have missed the purpose of learning. One doctor of learning has made the remark that fifteen years after completing a college course practically all book content has been forgotten. Ability, convictions and habits, however, remain. As- sociation with others, co-operation, self control, qualities of accuracy, initiative, and reliability become habits which remain with us. These things are the result of drinking deeply at the wel's of learning. Finally we realize that we do not travel alone in life. Life is action, not mere knowledge. Many a so-called educated man is a. failure in his chosen field because he has not learned to work with people. The beauty of the scenery, the sunrise, the sunset, the joy we get from a task keeps us striving to reach the plains above the foothills. Standing still we find that Hdullness is ever apt to multiply. In our strivings we may develop a restlessness and habitual discontent which can hardly be called divine. Perfection is not reached within the limits of time. 'Tis not a lip or eye, we beauty call But the joint force and full result of all. Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF '38. At last through the mists the real Alps appear. We lift cur eyes to the moun- tains from whence cometh my he'p. How great is God! How small is man! Yet each is a complement of the other. We are only a part of the whole. The last obstacle of life can be surmounted only with higher aid. Realizing the meaning of infinity, we can at last say we have learned. L... ..T , The Ideal Student Just what would you consider an ideal student? I shall take this opportunity to describe to you what I consider to be an ideal student. The ideal student is a good sport. He isn't a student that always frets and frowns when he loses. He doesn't cry when his feelings are hut. The ideal student shows respect toward his fellowmen. It seems whenever there is someone that needs help the ideal student always is ready to give aid. The following quotation from Emerson may be applied to the ideal student: Life is not so short but that there is always tin-e for courtesy. The ideal student not only shows respect for his fellowmen but he has respect to- ward others' property. The ideal student takes care of his own property and TT at of those around him. This student is not always the one who receives straight A's, but the grades re- ceived are those won by honest study and work. Quite often pupils receiving high grades do so by cheating. That student cannot be an ideal pupil, nor can he grow up to be an ideal man. The ideal student will have an appreciation of his parents and older people that is not born of the idea that these people are fossils. The ideal student is honest, straight-forward, trustworthy and zealous. He is not a pessimist, but neither does he look at the world through rose colored glasses. .He is well-liked by young and old and a friend to all. Do you have an ideal student in your school? If not don't complain. There aren't enough to go around. ASSISTANT EDITOR '38, Page Five
