1 1 ) ■ The Faculty THE faculty — that eminent body of men and women who, while in the execution of their regular duties, take time to be very good friends to the seniors and the underclassmen, and inci- dentally, bear the brunt of destructive and instructive criticism from them! They are a group of people that Morton has every reason to be proud of. In their work they are able to portray but a small percentage of their personality and character. For that reason, impressions are sometimes deceiving, for their atti- tudes are often quite different outside the classroom from their attitudes inside. We wish to impress upon the minds of those of you who have other years to come in the rather decaj ed walls of Morton that the teachers are REAL human beings ; and if there is any question in your minds, we implore you to please give them the benefit of the doubt. It has already been your pleasure to meet the faculty in their everyday capacity ; now we place them in the limelight. Places. Lights. Curtain. Page eleven

wmmw You Should Know Four Thin ts YOU should know things. Your en- vironment, the world you have to live in, is of a certain nature, works in certain ways, changes from time to time. You are bound to come to terms with this world and, therefore, you must know what it is like ; hence, you study geography, physics, and other sciences, join travel clubs, and in many other ways get facts about the world. You should know people. People are a part of the world you live in — part of your environment. As the world has been becoming populated, people have become the most important part of your environment. People, too, have a certain nature, act in certain ways, change from time to time. You have to live ivith them, not merely among them ; you must get along with them ; therefore, you study social science, lit- erature, foreign language, have pep ses.sions, work in many different kinds of groups, in order to get informa- tion about people in theory and in practice. You should know ijourself. After all, your main business is to make something out of your own possibilities. You must find out what you are, and what you are not, what you have and what you lack, what you can do and what you can not do, what you like to do and what you dislike to do. And back of it all you should have a definite idea of what you ought to be. To solve all these problems you study physiology and psychology, perhaps, but especially you study yourself by trying yourself out in this and that and then checking up to see what you have done and why your success or failure occurred. You should know how to adjust this self that you have discovered to the ■ivorld and the people that you have also discovered. If you should happen to reread the first three paragraphs again, you would notice that this last point has been suggested in each ; it is really the end of education, the other three being means. You learn things in order to get along with them and to make them serve you instead of enslaving you. You learn people in order to get along with them and to help them build a happy world. You learn yourself in order to know the kind of adjustment you can make, the kind you want to make, and the kind you ought to make. E. C. Cline. Page twelve
