Norman C. Smith To the Graduates of the Three Year Junior High School Curriculum I am tempted to say many things to you in this foreword. Perhaps it is enough, however, to say that the one thing needful is to prepare yourselves to dwell in this world in peace of mind. To pursue your calling, however unambitious, happily and fruitfully; to keep the windows of your mind wide open; to be aware of the beauty and interest of the world and of that picture of it we call art; to know what leisure is and how to use it; to know what work is worth doing and why; to have at least a glimmer of a notion enough to guide one’s footsteps by—of what living means and whither it tends—there is much to be said for a life like this, and at any rate, it is all that is within the reach of most of us. “We must cultivate our garden,” said Candidc, and unlike Candide, we must not get tired of cultivating it. It may not grow gorgeous flowers nor prize-taking vegetables, but fair and comforting blossoms may spring in it, and vines under which we may sit at evening, and wheat from which we may make us the bread of life.
