But, in the recesses of his ' ff' igff nl ,af nature there lie hidden. peculiarities of thou ht, 'ft , Ak p philosophy or belief which occasional events all ggkgin forth from the retirement of inactivity to the fore, from the if 'iii fgg, darkness of hidden channels to the light of day. The gifted nnen sig., of one profession especially, have the opportunity of bringing forth their theories concerning certain subjects before the e es f' ' of the world, of declaring their ideas on various questions of he wil. day, and of presenting to the minds of others their ideals or Q fwje knowledge for the betterment of civilization. I speak of the xy author who holds over us an influence for good or for evil, whose ig5'1 . thoughts we allow-to permeate and mould our own ideas, who f 'D 4-vgiy-,i may emphasize by the use of ficticious characters, the traits and '4 1 J Xlfwft eccentricities of his own being. jawif Many men, in taking up the avocation of authorship, the g portrayal of their ideas in pictures formed of words, fully realize K fi 'if' W . the responsibility in writing, instructing, and giving pleasure to E ' 'iffy countless peoples of the world, and are desirous of inculcating y good, wholesome principles which will be the foundation of good ,fgblglf P , 65 character. fig? yi - However, among the ranks of these teachers there are, as in ,gig -' every profession, some who breathe forth through the pages of Qggliilglf their productions, the rot, vileness and corruption of their own 'ef V. , intellect. They endeavor, by every artifice, to lure men from 2153! '1 the path of righteousness to the standards of their ultimate LQJJ vt., fail master, Satan. They try to corrupt the minds of their very fellow- ' men as they themselves are corrupt, and, in their folly, bring 55- down upon themselves and those who have been so foolish as to accept their standards, a terrible everlasting punishment. ' MXX XK, Knowing full well, then, of the treasures and dangers of M,,f f',' literature, we may well consider what books we should read, rind X if .I what we should shun. In our quest for the worth while, we ay . well consider a portion of literature most necessary for a good igxlir'-E , life, namely, the religious works of all time. f-73 . ' Good books, we may say in conclusion, are like golden threads :Ali gg? Woven into the fabric of our lives, a shining light to dispel the .

' 'fa Though it be true that this mother tongue of Cicero is dead, yet it continues on as a living teacher of the minds of mankind. S60 Though the value derived from this language be not an immediate , Agp' one, there is, however, an ideal educational value. To learn and QQ, , memorize facts is not education, but rather to train the mind ow Rib, '71 Q' to think quickly, accurately, and precisely, that is education. ow, Q3 43,60 if we wish toimake our bodies strong, healthy and active, do we Q ,if go about acquiring this condition? Do we not engage in athletics V to .develop .and train the body? just so must we. develop and train the mind by engaging in mental gymnastics, using. our Latin ' 'Jewel' books as the gymnasium.
