PAUL R. MILLER Principal A century ago men were attracted to un- told hardships and the dangers of a toilsome journey through hostile country by dreams of gold. Many never reached their destina- tion and few ot those who did reach it prot- ited. Opening the new country brought new problems to be solved, and on a material- istic and mechanistic basis our ancestors were successful. Spiritually we have not progressed so far in the past hundred years. Men still sell their souls for much less than a fortune. Wars are waging in many spots and are imminent in others. Freedom has been sold, prostituted or tossed away by millions of this world's peoples. Gold is seldom worth the struggle for it. On freedom there is no price too high. Gov- ernor Youngdahl ot Minnesota has said, If any nation loves anything more than tree- dom they will lose it, and if they love money and comfort more, they will lose that, too. In the spirit of tree men and women, go forth. There are smoother and easier paths than the trail of freedom but truly treeborn men will never travel them willingly. PAUL R. MILLER

GLENNIS H. RICKERT A Superintendent You FORTY-NINERS of today might feel that no such golden frontiers wait for you as awaited the Forty-Niners one hundred years ago, but they do if you remember that the most priceless treasures are not material. A little Irish lad met a leprechaun and asked him if he would show him his hidden pot of gold. The leprechaun agreed and they started through the woods. The boy stopped to release a trapped hare, found and cleaned a pretty stone to take to his mother, hunted early spring flowers, stopped to listen to birds singing and watched the trout in the stream. Before he realized it the sun was sinking. I must be home before dark. Where's the pot of gold? he asked. You need no pot of gold, said the lep- rechaun. You have the satisfaction of a humane act done, a pretty stone for your mother, the first spring flower to smell, and the memory of the bird songs and the beauty of the things you have seen. They are your pot of gold, precious more by far, for they cannot be purchased, nor can they be taken away from youl GLENNIS H. RICKERT
