'Me fi' School business is in every sense big business. Big in numbers of persons involved, big in cost of operation, big in its multiplicity of activities, big in opportuni- ties to offer highest type of service, and finally big in possibilities for personal advancement. Because of its many interests it is possible to forget that the one and only reason for the existence of school busi- ness is to give and receive instruction. It is possible that a minor interest may receive more than it's due in time and effort or that an essential part of the pro- gram is neglected. Care must be taken to see that the many worthwhile interests of our students be properly placed in the program and that those unworthy activ- ities be eliminated. It is tremendously important that our fine boys and girls recognize the opportunities that are theirs to make the greatest possible growth to the end that they shall be the kind of good and worthwhile persons they want so much to be. When this aim is put first, then school business is big business. L. E.
