EDITORIAL The American essayist, Emerson, has said “that the chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do the best we can.” He may be right, because one of the things most evident in human nature is its constant tendency to slip back. A school is normally called Alma Mater, that is, the best of friends, because the purpose of a school is to urge us on to better things.to make us do the best we can. How truly this can be said of Sacred Heart College ! All who have spent two or three years here will agree that it has prepared them to enter life with confidence in their own abilities, a knowledge of the basic elements of unchanging human nature, a high moral standard, a well dev¬ eloped character and the habit of looking on the bright side of things. Under the careful guidance of excellent teachers who possess the intellectual and moral qualifications necessary, and who manifest a sincere love for those who are confided to them, we have received the true Christian education which His Holiness, the late Pope Pius XI, set f orth in his en¬ cyclical on “The Christian Education of Youth.” After but a few of our informal and cheery classes, wherein we touch on other fields than those prescribed, we gain a new interest in, and love for, learning and this taste for knowledge is never allowed to go un¬ satisfied. Especially are we shown the Catholic viewpoint on all matters, the rightness of the Church’s mind, thus enabling us to uphold and defend our Christian Faith. The story of the ages has been unfolded to us, in which we see the Church as the greatest civilizing and uplifting force in history. We are thus encouraged to strive after the better things, to en¬ deavour that the age-old tradition of learning and culture proper to Catho¬ lic Christianity shall not be broken, but rather deepened and strengthened in our age and time.we have been made to do the best we can. In the spiritual life also, we are encouraged not to be content with mediocrity, but to aspire to higher levels. In our College every opportunity is given us of becoming exemplary Catholics.daily Mass, an Annual Retreat, Catholic companions, an abundance of Catholic literature, a clear knowledge of Catholic doctrine, and the very best of example. Life in our “family circle”, composed of persons of varying character and inclinations, affords us the occasion of becoming proficient in that basic Christian virtue, Charity. All these have impressed upon us the greatness of our responsi¬ bility, and instilled into our hearts a desire to do our utmost to make them effective in the world. (Continued on Page 9.) SIX
