Personal means per- taining to one's own self. Responsibility means reliability. Therefore, personal responsibility means reliance upon one's self. If a pupil will develop this trait, in time it will become a habit and he will do his own work in school. If he does his own lessons he will know what he has gone over, and he will go through high school without any trouble. But let us look at it from another point of view. If he does rely upon his fellow stu- dents it will tell sooner or later. Some day he will come to the examination and no one will be near him who will allow him to cheat and consequently he will not pass. His teacher may have had the impression that this student is doing his own work, but when he finds out it is some one else's work, that teacher will lose confidence and respect in that pupil. Cheating will not only affect him in his school work, but also in his later life. Take for instance the boy who cheated his way through school. That boy will never amount to anything. When he comes to problems in life which are hard he will not have back-bone enough to solve them, but will call on his neighbor to help him. But on the other hand, take a boy who has worked out his own studies in high school, though they be hard, that boy will make something out of himself and be a success in the world, for he had grit enough to stick to it in school until he got itg and so it will be in life, for when he comes to the hard things he will not say, I can't do that, but he will say, l'll try, and he will succeed. So I say it is best to develop the sense of personal responsibility when in the high school, for it will characterize you all through life and you will never regret it. PAUL GREENWAY.
