M THE TWENTY-TWO PIERIAN M A Message to the Class of 1922 You are the first class to leave me as principal of a high school and I am feeling for the first time the mingled pleasure and pain that th? head of a school experiences when he attempts to say God- speed to a graduating class. Two things I have to say to you. The first is the concept at the basis of the modern philosophy of education, which says that Icaniiini is living. This refers to your past pretty largely — to your school experience. The responsibility for its ob- servance is largely with the school. We have tried to allow you to live whole- some, natural lives while in school. We have tried to make your school life so varied as to bring to your knowledge your natural abilities and your needs, and to show you how to develop the former and to satisfy the latter. As life is a thing of myriad processes and forms, so we have tried to surround you with a great number of such situations as arise in real life, to guide you in learning how to re- spond to such situations, to permit you to form habits that will stand you in good stead in all the future, to give you some information as to the world in which you live and to show you how and where to continue the quest for further information. The second word 1 would leave with you is that living is learning. Just as living should not be postponed until the close of school, so learning should not stop when school days are over. This is a matter of the future, and the responsibility is largely yours. Vou should continue to learn, of course, because you have not yet learned everything and because it will be to your material advantage to know as much as possible. But if you are really to live, there is a more important reason for continuing to learn. They to whom life is empty and narrow, — for whom it means nothing more, are not those who have tasted all of life, for that is impossible, but those who have ceased to learn and .grow in their capacity to understand, and, therefore, to enjoy living — those whose today is no different from their yesterday, and who are looking forward to a tomorrow no different from either. Just what should you do? You should have found from your school experience that part of the world ' s work that you can best perform — make that your vocation and pursue it with all your luight. But do not stop there ; you might do all that and still live a very narrow, comparatively useless, life. Develop yourself also along different side-lines — have hobbies. avocations, indirect interests, that will divert your mind, fill your leisure hours, keep j ' ou open-minded, make you an intelligent member of a cinuplex society, bring happiness to yourself and large usefulness to all your fellows.
