O' that lt could be 1mpressed upon young people the deadly peril in these t11x1al thlngs trivial lndeed when they hurl numbers of persons per sons capable of developing the IH domltable intellect of a Carlyle the moral ab1l1ty of a Moody 01 the so cial value of a Ruskin 1nto that most horrlble condition lmagmable a so cial oatcast This terrible menace and it must be the a1m of every one to do h1s utmost to stamp out th1s evil which IS dragging American so icty low er and low 91 Next in the scale of the lmportance of the ex 1ls IS copymg work from some other pe1son If a pupll per s1stently CODIES work he loses that qualxty so lmportant to society self zehance Thus he newer finds out what his capab1l1t1es are Also he never gets what he should from his school work When he leax es school he will find that he has a xery un pleasant experlence XV31'C1I'lg' h1m In the first place he x 1ll not hate some one to lean upon all the time Sec ondly he must make up IH some manner the deficiency in his educa t1on Thlrdly he must ox ercome the habit of leanlng upon someone else Another effect which any school sp1r1ted pup1l w1ll conslder IS on the school What would be the effect ln a school of one hundred if one person alone should do the work? Instead of the1e bemg one hundred separate pexsonahtles there would be only one Thus this school would send into the world one capable person to every nmety nlne uncapable persons The p1ogress1ve World could not last long 1f th1s contlnued for so few men cannot furnish the 1n1t1at1ve for the whole World As a third Qvll comes a matter which IS un ve sally practlsed and w h1ch in many cases IS a very great detrlment to a school It IS rank The harm 1n rank comes from the fallacy ln the common conception When a person goes to school he should have some purpose The highest purpose that a student can his school Worx thus ra1s1ng hlmself to a higher level How many pupils have such a purpose? Very few I dare say A most noble purpose in deed that eternal pursuit of the elu sive ninety nine that endless chase after the glorlous phantom and lf the goal should eve1 be reached what then a monetary satlsfactlon Ce1 tainly a Wonderful reward Thus 1ank tends to destroy purpose wh1ch qual1ty is ever lacklng in society The extreme danger 1n these ev1ls 11es ln tne fact that they all are con nected dlrectly or lndirectly W1th the social fabric of our natlon and if our soc1al fabric breaks one of two th1ngs w1ll happen Elther our country w1ll fall as Rome did or lt will undergo the horrors of a Fre1ch Rex olutlon RALPH KEIRSTEAD 20 22 , 4 L. . .1 , , 1 . , K V . , , .. , v , . . ., , y , - y - 4 . . . .
