We teach science that pupils may learn of “things and their forces'; history and literature, that they may know “men and their ways. As to the method of cultivating an earnest wish to move in harmony with the truths acquired, we grope in darkness; yet, if this wish has not been instilled, the education is not complete. In fact, it is a failure. I sometimes think how much more effective than our efforts in this respect are the homely teachings of an honest parent. There is a story told of an Irish mother, Mrs. Doolin. whose twelve-year-old boy was going out into the world to battle for his living. As she bade him good-bye, she earnestly entreated the lad to remember “There never was yet a Doolin that wasn’t on the square.” Think how splendid it would be if every youth enrolled under the banner of “orange and black” would go forth from this school determined to heed a similar injunction from his Alma Mater—“Remember that every S. H. S. is on the square. I hope that each member of the class of 1912 with whom I have journeyed so pleasantly the past four years will strive to fulfill the requirements of a complete education by living in harmony with the great laws made evident by his study and in such a manner that his community and state shall be glad that he has lived.
