fl 7 4 1 'Aa N OUR HANDS? They fashion dresses in the clothing rooms, run machines in the shops, perform experiments and make delicate adjustments in the laboratories, trace outlines and fill in details in drawing and art, guide the pencil that demonstrates the mathematics problem, create the English composition, and produce the history theme. They carry on the work ofthe school. But how? Moved without purpose as the feverish fingers of the sick clutch at the bed clothing in accompaniment to incoherent ramblings of an unbalanced mind? No. From rude sketches of the kindergartner and simple phrases of the second grader there must be steady development of the intelligence that controls these hands until they produce art work and English themes Worthy of the upper reaches of high school. And finally their efforts should demonstrate development of the moral purpose of their owner. Must they be used to drop bombs on the defenseless, or may they guide the surgeon's lancet for the relief of sullering? Yes, our hands will do the work of the world. Throughout school life may we train them to increasing skill, skill that shall be used with high intelligence to forward the aims and purposes of a moral will that shall work toward the betterment of conditions of life for all men everywhere.
