THE EAGLE ina Ifiartlrifz llvitrr My Dear Girls: With the usual little shock of surprise I realize that another school year is nearly over. Do you remember how you felt on the first day of the term last September? When you began the work of your new grade, some of you probably wondered how you would manage it, then, as the days and weeks passed, you found you were gradually getting through the work and now you feel that you will soon have been successful in passing up into the next grade. If you have been truly successful, you will have gained besides actual knowledge some added self-reliance, you will know that if you work steadily and consistently, you will win the power needed to go on to the next and harder task whatever it may be. If, however, you are still lacking in self-reliance, if you expect all your thinking to be done for you, and rely too much upon the assistance of your teacher, then make up your mind to make a real effort next year to improve in this respect. Beware, however, of becoming self-sufficient, you always will need help and must be willing always to listen carefully to those who can teach you the things you do not know. There is a great difference between self- reliance and self-sufficiency. The present-day world is suffering very badly as the result of Man's self-sufficiency and pride. Man has grown so clever, he has conquered almost every secret of nature through his skill in science, and can he not be justly proud of his accomplishments? Why, Man has been clever enough to learn to produce sufficient power to exterminate speedily whole cities and towns, indeed, his whole race if he so wills! And this is the result of comparatively very few years of effort on his part. But see where he has failed! He has little or no ability to get on with his neighbour, and this power he cannot acquire from science. The only hope for mankind is that men learn to consider one another and to respect the rights of every individual, Man must learn to love his neighbour as himself. Will you each think of this and remember that you yourself play an important part in this world? If you are weak, the world is weaker, if you are strong, the world gains strength. All my best wishes go with you with the hope that you may play a worthy part in life to the benefit of those around you. Yours affectionately, ELSIE M. BARTLETT
