It was a hot (lay and the sweat rolled off the l)rows of a little grotip of men, who were attempting to lift a heam to the toj) of a wall. Near by stood the corporal shouting, Heave ho! Heave ho, men ! A man, who had come up the road, paused and said, Why do ou not help them? The corporal drew himself erect. Sir! he said, I am the corporal. I see, said the man, and when he had added his shoulder to those already under the beam, it soon was resting on the wall. Turning to go, the man vvi|)ed the sweat from his forehead and said, Sir corporal, if you ever v ish for aid in any other task, call for your commander in chief. The corporal was thunderstruck. School is made up either of commanders in chief or corporals. There are no under men. There, }ou are a commander in chief or you are a corporal. H you help with the beam you are a commander in chief. If you stand aside and tell them to heave ho, you are a corporal. I ' m not going to the committee meeting. It ' s too pokey. In other words, I can ' t do the disagreeable work. I am the corporal. Others can flo the common labor. I am need- ed for higher work. chairman of a certain committee was called upon to send some of her girls to do work after school. This chairman, although imable to secure the required number of girls, did not go herself. If you had asked her, she probably would have replied, indignantly, Sir! I am the corporal, or words to that effect. North Central should have no corporals. Let us all be commanders in chief. o — o DOES IT PAY? The business world has a small minority of people today, whom when accosted on the question of education, steadfastly declare that a cfillege education is unnecessary for success. Not only do the scoff at the necessity of a college education l)ut they also maintain that the knowledge acquired fnmi high school is of no practical value. These people term themselves self-made men who perhaps did not have the opportunities that we have today. The ' assuine that because of the fact that the ' received no college education that others can attain success as well without these es- sentials. Hut is it true? From bare statistics the fact is brought out that the majority of successful men has received more than high school train- ing. Whether they have attended college or not they have been benefited by training that is higher than the work that the common schools offer. Not only does college furni.sh the desired training along educational lines but also along the enjoyable side of life. So when you make your decision as to what your future course will be concerning a college education, weigh the possibilities and the re- sults and you will take the advice of the suc- cessful man who says, if you want to have an education that pays, go to college.
