THE KINGDOM OF SCHOOL School to the youth of America is likened unto a little kingdom. We are no more than babes when we enter under its jurisdiction, and the greater part of our early life is spent in this realm which is virtually a world of its own. During these years we are groomed in the learned things of life, and we are made prepared to go out into the world to meet its everyday problems with tact and skill. So used to school do we become that when we are ready to be graduated, we suddenly realize that instead of its being a perpetual institution, it is only a part of our allotted seventy years of life. Soon this little realm of happiness is going to dissociate itself. This kingdom, yet democracy, under which we have spent so many happy days as citizens, is soon to recede into the past. Twelve years ago as we gazed ahead at the long stretch of schooling that lay before us, it appeared to us an eternity before we should reach its end.
