'VFW' ' What We Have and Want in Our High School I-IE high school worth while is the one which primarily stands for work. There never has been, is, or will be anything that can be substituted for work. There are no short cuts, no easy roads to discover and sharpen the different talents and abilities. Even the student who makes good grades with little or no effort cannot possibly receive the full benefit he should get unless he utilizes one hundred per cent of his powers. A good teaching force is es- sential, but it is not all that is needed. Certainly the high school has fnderful workshop facilities. Every reci- tation is a means of self-expression. Every lesson preparation is a mould for some kind of habit formation. Every action in recitation room, study hall, corridor, on campus and athletic field, is an indication of the habits and char- acter of each student. While boys and girls are not born with the same amount of mental ability or riches, every boy and every girl can choose for himself as to the amount of work he will do and as to how he will act. Witliin every person is something that tells him what is right and what is wrong. The student who tries to cover up this inner prompting is injuring himself morally far more than he pos- sibly could mentally by not applying himself to his lessons. A sense of fair- ness, justice, uprightness and honesty, is far more important than a perfect mind or body. The simple question of what is right and what is wrong is answered or evaded more times daily than any other question in the world. The most im- portant part of a student's education is the development of a true and keen sense of moral obligation. The American High School abounds in opportuni- ties for the development of this obligation. The close association of teacher with student and student with student, should result in the recognition of the rights of others as well as those of self. It should demonstrate the necessity of the golden mile and the practice of connnendable compromise. Vertainly the daily intermingling of several hundred people under one roof, is a won- derful thing in terms of training for citizenship when these associations are pleasant, instructive and ennobling. Every school day 's work should have in it some opportunity to give the other fellow, as well as one 's self a square deal. It is so easy to find excuses for one's self, or to build up a strong argumentj in favor of something one de- sires. It is so much easier tha11 to uncover and recognize the arguments and viewpoints of those differing in opinion. Being unfair to one's self is far more disastrous than being unfair to another pe1'son. Every student who treats himself squarely in all matters cannot help but treat his instructors and fellow students justly. Eleven
