how it affects their neighbors. They also show this attitude in their wild scramble to the lunch room and in the various situations where congestion is likely to arise. The ,mistaken philosophy of the aforementioned stu- dents is the philosophy which actuates the mob, and it brings disastrous sults in the end. ln its broad sense, it is the basis of anarchy and dis- order which we all detest. Therefore, in the future, let us alter our methods. It is all right for us to get fthe first place 'on line or the advantage at lunch. This is initiative. This is look- ing out for our best interests. But the objection is this: Do not infringe upon the rights of others by so doing. Let courtesy to others always govern your actions and then self-assertion and initiative are justifiable and right. Agriculture for High School Students. What is the New York State School of Agriculture at Farmingdale, Long Island? It is the result 'of a concerted effort by the far-sighted people of lower New York State to establish at the very doors of the great metropolis a school which will give to students of High School age an opportunity to be- come practical scientific farmers and agriculturalists. Of all of the great natural resources in which the United States abounds agriculture is the greatest and at the same time the least developed. Know- Awg that the soil has been least ex- ploited, we are safe in predicting that the industrial development of the next few decades will be along agricultural lines. The farm of 308 acres is the main laboratory of the institution. The Twenty-eight school buildings have been admirably located so that students issuing from classes of theory need but take a step or two before entering practical work in the fields. On the farm every kind of agriculture generally followed in eastern United States is practiced, so that a student receives more variety of practice there than on any single farm in the state. The course of study and the methods of instruction at the Farmingdale Agri- cultural Sehool have been planned to meet the special requirements of the students from New York City and its environs, including the maximum of practice with the minimum of theory and a grasp of such general principles as are the basis of all successful agri- culture. The school offers a four-year course in all branches of agriculture, includ- ing Plant Propagation, Farm Crops, Soil Fertility, Animal Husbandry, etc. An opportunity is given in the Senior year to speciali:-ze in Horticulture, Dairying and Poultry Husbandry. The school is in session all year. The minimum educational preparation required for entrance to the school must equal that of a graduate of the Eighth grade. Tuition is free to resi- dents of New York State, and there is no charge for laboratory fees. Stu- dents will be accepted for entrance to the school on June 26th and October 2nd of this year. All who are interested in modern agriculture and think of entering this attractive field should by all means visit the Farmingdale Agricultural School at the earliest opportunity, or communicate with A. A. Johnson, Di- rector of the school.

N some business firm and secured tem- porary positions, more often called jobs, just for the summer months, but either because their salary was raised from four dollars to four-fifty a week, or just because they thought they liked business better, they failed to re- turn to school when it re-opened. A year or two after, these same fellows have come back to Manual to see their old friends here, disgusted with them- selves and sometimes with the whole world in general because they have not yet become the presidents of their concerns and are still earning, or rather getting, the same salary with which they started. Take a hint from what others have done before you, and if you do go to work this summer, don't forget nor neglect to return to Manual when school opens next September. Thrift is a word which is passing from mouth to mouth. And what does it mean? According to the Thrift dictionary, thrift is the sav- ing of money which would otherwise be uselessly spent. lt also has the meaning of spending wisely and giving generously. According to such famous men as Alba Johnson, Henry Ford, Franklin K. Lane and others, this little word of six letters contains the secret of success in this world. The quotation on the cover from a speech of James J. Hill voices this information. When a student comes to Manual, he must have spending money. Some may have more than others, but every- one has at least a little. What is done with this? The candy and soda stores around this neighborhood seem to be doing a thriving business during the lunch recess. Others eat too much. Still others purchase various things which mad desire craves for. A great' deal of the money could be more ad- vantageously used if it were placed in our School Bank. Soon small sums will accumulate into larger sums and a savings bank account may be started. Many of you students, wish to go to college but you don't know where the money is coming from. You would be surprised if you knew how much can be saved by putting a little away every week. Some will work this summer. Here, also, is an excellent opportunity to save money. Every one has to buy some things, of course, but then is the time when discrimination should be used. Another thing that cannot be passed over with a word is giving generously. Select a worthy cause and help it? You will be rewarded. Every student knows that he ought to be thrifty. He has seen what has been done because of thrift and he has seen what has been undone because of lack of thrift. Therefore, why don't you become more so? We notice among a number of the students at Manual this philosophy of life. Me first, then, after me myself. In vari- ous places and at different times this attitude is evident. When the bell rings at 2:15 Mondays and Tuesdays, there are those who rush and push, run and race, trip and tug to get a good position on line and, hence, a good seat for the aan'!i- torium exercises. They do not respect the welfare of others, the rules of the sehool and common courtesy, but rush for their own interests regardless of And The Rights of Others Twenty-seven
