6 THE CADUCEUS - - f Borrowers Borrowing is a habit that all of the stu- dents have. If they happen to lose a pencil or to be out of paper, they borrow from their neighbors. If they can 't do their examples, or can 't translate their Latin or French, they borrow some kind friend's Work or else take their neighbor's and copy it. Some of them even borrow their friend's books and forget to return them. This is a habit that should be overcome. Courtesy Courtesy is an asset in the life of every pupil, no matter what his course may be. Do we each ever stop to think that people judge us by our manners, and that, if We do not possess these, a lack is reflected upon us and our home training? Scholastic achievement is not sufficient, courtesy and politeness should be shown, no matter Where we are or what we are doing. Late Hours Most young people think that the only way to have a good time is to go out every night in the- week -either auto-riding, to the movies, or a dance. All these amusements are much fun, but if boys and' girls of the high school age indulge too much they will injure both their minds and bodies. Any student who goes out on school nights and tri-es to keep up in his studies would admit that it was difficult. A good movie, an occasional party or so- cial is fine. The young folks must have good times, of course. But-Get your fun by beginning early and ending at ten o'clock. The Need of an Aim in Life The most dissatisfied people, as a rule, are those who do not have a goal. in life. They move in circles and come out nowhere. And out of this endless experience there arises at last a sense of defeat and a help- lessness-a bitter sense of the utter futility of life. Success dominates all our goals and if We do not attain it, our aims become insignifi- cant. ' Our aims should not be above our capa- bilities, but must be of the sort that appeal to us. The value of life depends not on what you get for doing your work, but the way in which the work is done.

Do we realize what our education means to us and to our country? Are we always trying to get the niost from all our oppor- tunities? Do we think of accomplishing all we undertake for our own good and for others? Are we always on the alert to grasp every bit of knowledge and learning that will benefit us now and in later life? VVe should snatch every possible chance of improving ourselves. Every possibility of advancement in our work should be seized. lVe niust not wait for opportuni- ties to coine to us, but always be searching for them and finding thein for ourselves. lVe students of today niust bear in mind that in a very few' years this Union will be in our hands. lt will be for us to help to govern it as it should be governed.
