One was marked To Higher and Better Things, another said For Those Who Do Not Care, and the last one that seemed the easier, was marked For the Cheater. Here the class was brought to a sudden stop-which trail shall we take, shall we all travel together or shall we divide and let each pupil take his choice, but after a discussion the class took the trail marked To Higher and Better Things.
