SticIi w ' as the conception of the founder of our school, and such the ideal of our beloved E. Sumpter Smith, now gone to the ivuvard of long years of faithful service — an honored memory. A gentleman. A’hat is it Who is this model youth that noble men would honor and woidd serve I ' A myth Yes, we may call him so; this side the age of Christ he has never been seen, l.ook the world over, and seek out those who seem to see life best and live it most loftily; every one will point you from himself to another beyond and above him — his far ideal. A limit to the vari- able, let us say; hut a limit that hovers near for vision and moves on, tixable, ])erha])S, in the inlinity of Heaven. Fnmhling with ideals! Reaching for the unap])roachal)le, as a swimmer for the stars! So be it; hut in the ever-distant goal is all of human ])rogress. We want a school community in which every hoy has caught his vision of the ideal man and makes it day by day his tirm resolve never to let it cloud — ever to mount to clearer view. Such a hoy will kee]) his body strong, his mind alert, that he may see more clearly and may climb more swiftly; he Avill recognize the deadly waste of falsity in all its foi ' ins ; he will know the commandments of (lod, not as laws he must not break, hut as themes to he developed in his life, that others, wdth lower lights, may read and understand. Knowing his owm vorth, he will take no chances with his self-esteem ; knowing the w ' orth of others, he will guard their rights al)Ove his own, ready to sacritice in all sa ' e sacred ])rincij)le. He will be loyal to his school: for it is himself enlarged; it is his chosen comrade multi})lied; it is the illustration of human henevolence in action for his salvation. He will radiate and reflect all human virtues, aud about him will he an atmoS])here so charged with waves of human kindness that evil thoughts and deeds will die of golden blight, and those so blind as not to see the vision will shrink and cower as they tlee to darkness.
