14 The Bell their minds certain facts and theories concerning the theory at issue. The student must think about those facts and theories, and make them a part of himself. It should also be borne in mind that a highly trained intellect does not carry the possessor very far in the work of the world unless it has the support of a splendid physique. Students in high school and col- lege should not neglect their physical well-being. Those who are ambitious may wisely utilize a part ot' their long vacation periods to acquaint themselves with the contents ot' the great books for the reading of which there has not been opportunity in term time. Students who do not do much for themselves and on their own account will not go very far in the intellectual world. W. YV. C.xMrma1.1., . President of University of CfLl'ifoo'nia. In a state like California, where high-school education is practi- cally universal, it is difficult for us to realize the great privileges open to us. Many of our high schools are as handsome, extensive and expensive, with as capable a faculty, as were many of the colleges of a generation ago. The high school opens the way both to further study in the univer- sities and to life itself. NVC have a chance there, too, to meet many ot' our intimate friends and many of our neighbors and fellow-citizens ol' the future. It is i111portant for us to realize that we are establishing by our high-school work in the minds of hundreds of our associates a con- ception of our individual qualities and character and ot' our abilities in various directions. The high-school period is the great trial period for everyone. It' the student can obtain a knowledge ot' how to use his mind and his body at this particular age, his future success is prac- tically assured. Most important of all is to learn how to use time and to develop a time sense, so that recreation follows real study and there is no dawd- ling or purposeless idling. Tl1e best way to get an education is to work while you work, play while you play, sleep while you sleep, and get each day's work done each day. RAY LYMAN VVILBUR. President of Strunfowl University. The high school period is critical in the life of a young man or woman. Here is where character begins to set with irrevocable firm- ness. I would advise youth to remember that while the intellectual busi- ness of the school day is central that making one's own character is the major problem of every minute. Right now, as you work, are you fixing the right attitude and feeling? As you study or recite are you honest, sincere, prompt, painstaking, energetic, thoughtful, considerate? The final character of a man is but a complex bundle of sensibilities made up of the habitual attitudes of his youth. ITENRY SUzzAr.0. I President of Washington Univwstty.

THE EDITOR. The success ot' any student's high school or college life depends vastly more upo11 the spirit illld activities of the student than upon the assistance all'orded by tl1e instructor or professor. Tl1e stude11t will be educated just about i11 proportio11 as he does the work hiniself. The principal purpose ot' tl1e teacher is to advise and guide tl1e student. The boy for girll who would learn to swim can be l1'Cl'llCl1Cl0llSly bene- :titled by tlll expert teacher of swimming, but he will never lear11 to swim tll1l0SS he jumps i11to tl1c water and actually does the work him- self, i11 accordance with the advice and example of tl1e instructor. A teacher does not really educate his students by merely pouring i11to
