EDITORIALS SILENCE Silence is goldeng speech is silver. We've all heard this saying over and over again, but how many of us ever stop to think of the actual value of silence? Of course, the compar- ative values of gold and silver can give us a slight idea, but that is not enough. Let us consider silence and speech in ordinary, every-day people. Do you often hear of a quiet person getting into avoidable trouble? Not as often as a talkative one does, you must admit. Winch does the employer advance first, the one who tends to his own business or the one who tells everyone's secrets with his own? The former, of course. Who learns from the experience of others by listening? The one who is not too busy talklng to listen and profit. All these examples are just to show that sile-nce is appreciated in people. This does not necessarily mean that one should act dumb and inferior, but that it is best to keep one's thoughts to one's self and not speak until speech is required. A little slip of the tongue and your most innocent speech may be misunderstood and carried to far extremes. When we were children we were told that Children should be seen and nO: heard. Although we do not consider ourselves as children any more, we should bear that in mind. Calvin Coolidge was known as a man of few words, yet he was asked to serve arfother term as President of the United States. People understood his worth, even though he did not attempt to convince them by speech. Many of ou' great men were of the same kind. The rule also applies itself to our school life. It is only natural for us to want to speak frequently, for, after all, God gave us tongues for speaking purposes, but we should give our classmates their chance to express themselves. For studying, there is nothing more useful than a quiet room to study in, so let us too try to observe the slogan Silence is golden. ' M. A. POTTS, 35. ETIQUETTE Etiquette is an art-the aft of doing and saying the correct -thing at the correct time-the art of being able to hold oneself in hand, no matter how exacting the circumstance. And like painting or music, the more you study it, the more you apply yourself to its principles, the more
