MR. NEXVMANS MESSAGE Now that the high school diploma is yours, it may be well to inquire why you are dissatisfied with the results of three years of work. For, of course, you are not satisfiedg no one ever is. But the question in your mind is this: Have I taken full advantage of the opportunities offered by Mission? Is it my fault, or the school's that my attainments have fallen short of my ambitions ? It is not in the power of any school faculty to take a hun- dred average young people, and, at the end of three years, to turn out a hundred geniuses. But it is the duty of every school to help all those people to advance to the limit of their powers. Has Mission done this for you? Not entirely, I know, but quite well. This school offers work in almost every line of human endeavor, under the guidance of skilled, sympathetic instructors. A pupil's progress is lim- ited by the limitations of his nature. Some intelligences are more acute than others. It has been the desire of your teachers to spur you on to as great an achievement as is possible to each of you. If the final result has not been completely satisfactory, I know that you will judge the case fairly, and allocate praise and blame where they belong. The result of such self-searching will be to make you not content with mediocrity, but resolved, in the future, to take fuller advantage of what opportunities come to you. In that case, the writing of this little message will not be in vain. However, I know that probably no one among the readers of this journal will ever read this far, for nothing can be more uninteresting than a vice-principals message, so, to my hundreds of non-readers, I close with the hope of good fortune for each and all of you.
