M. H. S. THE BUTTE 5 Editorial WORK UCCESS and happiness are bound to come to the one who takes real pride and pleasure in his work, no matter what it may be. Often times this fact is lost sight of in this restless and ambitious age. Those who are determined to reach the top of the ladder are likely to estimate work as a means to an end, or stepping stones to higher things. Honest pride in workmanship is not in store for them. Skill is acquired only as moving along to better and more profitable things. Befitting of occupation will always exist in some degree but we have in a sense, seen it increased to a much higher degree by the opportunity that is oifered in America. It is not enough for a man to take an interest in the task of today as a means of showing his fittness for something else. Pride of work is an end in itself. There is no reason why every man should not approach his own task, no matter whether it is polishing surfaces or driving an engine with the same sense of possibilities. Real content is to be found in liking the work you are doing and bringing it to the full height of your power. --Pearl Miller. RUTS Th' world is full 0' ruts, my boy, some shaller an' some deep, An' ev'ry rut is full o' folks, as high as they can heap. Each one that's grovelin' in th' ditch is growlin' at his fate, An' wishin' he had got his chance before it was too late. They lay it all on someone else or say 'twas jest their luck- They never onct consider that 'twas caused by lack o' pluck. But here's th' word of one that's lived clean through, from soup t' nuts, Th' Lord don't send no derricks t 'hist folks out o' ruts. Some folks has staid in ruts until they didn't like the place, Then scrambled bravely to th' road an' entered in th' race. Sish ones has always found a hand held out for them t' grab, Ain' cling to till they'd lost the move peculiar to the crab. l But only them that helps themselves an' tries fer better things Will ever see th' helpin' hand t' which each climber clings. This here's the hard, plain, solemn facks, without no ifs or butsg Th' Lord don't send no derricks 'round to hist folks out o' ruts. -Strickland Gillian. HIGH SCHOOL IDEALS The ideals of a high school, as well as that of any public or private institution, are highly important in the training and development of an individual. There are standards of ex- cellence set up as goals of ambition and achievement. The institution should be characterized by ideals of industry. Effort is the law of educational progress. The student who works, studies, observes and gains new experiences, will grow intellectually and morally. Nothing is more certain. The measure of his growth will he the measure of his eifort. As one puts forth educational effort, he shall be crowned with power. One cannot be carried to the intellectual skies on flowery beds of ease, by some new' and easy method that is effortless and timeless. There is no royal.road to learningg there never was oneg there never will be one. How futile the efforts then to build one. Ideals of industry are always vital. The best result that comes to the student is not a knowledge of the branches studied, valuable as it isg but rather the habits of industry and study formed by systematic application. To such a pupil comes a measure of scholastic attainment, keeness of mind and power, with them the joy of achievement and a degree of satisfaction and contentment because of duty alone that constitute one of the chief sources of human happiness. .pearl Mmm..
