EDITORIAL REINI-IARDT LEWIS, EDITOR-IN-CHEIF ---------e --e -- rw MARION W. LONGMAN Mr. Marion W. Longman, superintendent of the Muskegon Schools, has devoted practically his entire life to educational work. He was born in Climax, Michigan, and graduated from the Galesburg High School in 1896. In 1898 he graduated from the Ypsilanti Normal and returned to Galesburg as principal of the high school. His abil- ity as a supervisor was soon recognized and in a few years he was made superintend- ent of the Galesburg schools. Within a year he was oiered a position as superintend- ent of schools in Otsego, and he served most efficiently in that capacity from 1906 to 1909, when he resigned to attend Albion College. After his graduation from Albion in 1910, he entered the Universityof Michigan and received his degree of Master of Arts in 1911. As soon as his University course was completed, he accepted the super- intendency of the Hastings schools, but resigned at the end of the year to go to Owosso, where he remained five years, making an enviable record as superintendent. Although Mr. Longman was now well qualified both by training and practical experience for any position in his chosen field, he felt it would be to his advantage to devote some time to special subjects, so in 1919 he entered Columbia University and studied there until 1921. At this time the Muskegon Board of Education was looking for anew superintendent and, fortunately for us, Mr. Longman was chosen for that po- sition. The people of Muskegon as Well as the members of the Board of Education are at present congratulating. themselves on the wisdom of that choice, for in the short time he has been here Mr. Longman has made many warm friends, and we all agree that he is certainly the right man in the right place. SERVICE Every person has a difficult problem to face when he is graduated from high school. What shall he choose as a vocation? The decision that he makes is a serious one, and involves the consideration of many things. He should have a natural ability for whatever he takes up, and a deep interest in it. Once having determined upon his career, he should not allow himself to be easily influenced to change his plans. The greatest aim of every graduate is to succeed. Yet he should not wish to become rich so much as to do his tasks well and to help others. Let him seize his opportunities and labor diligently, and then he will gain his desires. Success is not amatter of luck, it is a question of working and waiting and hoping. One who takes for a motto the following quotation is apt to achieve more, to be happier, and to live a better life. Look up, not down, out, not ing forward, not back: and lend a hand. -A. P.
