Editorial N EMINANT philosopher once said, A , i man gets out of life just what he puts into it. q The word life might be substituted for any one of ia number of terms which would more closely define its meaning. One receives as much from school, from business, from friends, and from pleasures, as he puts into them. A valuable element in the character of every- one is the ability to assume' responsibility with a determination to do his best. The student or the business man, who starts out shirking re- sponsibility, is not only weakening his own morale by admitting to himself that he can't do it, but is missing the thrill one gets from having undertaken something and succeeding. In this century of progress, where sciences are developing so fast and material things are be- coming so important, one may easily lose sight of the value of discrimination in the choice of small things. Being familiar with good books, having worthwhile friends, spending spare time constructively, are little things by which we Page Four may benefit and which help to make a strong foundation for a good character. Fortunately, conditions are such in this country that the average boy or girl can acquire a liberal education in school. Here he is per- mitted to think as he likes, read what he likes and accept or reject the opinions of others. This is a privilege which, when properly used, will train his mind to think more clearly and will give him experience in making decisions for himself which will become increasingly necessary as he grows older. He is not told that a thing is right or wrong but is shown its advantages and disadvantages and left at that point to draw his own conclusions. There is a great deal more to be had from high school than most students obtain. Various or- ganizations present an opportunity for the aver- age person to demonstrate his skill in sports, art, music, dramatics, etc. Everyone is urged to try his skill and by doing so will find his interest in school strengthened and will be getting more out of it than he would have if he had put nothing into it.
