. OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE School, college, and, in fact, everything we do is a continuous learning experience which guides us through the paths of life. For through this training that is being so liberally offered us, we are gaining constant experience which is very necessary for us to carry on in the future. The work we do in the future and the success which results from our work are at once the center of our goal. The future is dependent on the younger individuals who are undoubtedly wading through books in school throughout the country to carry on in the days awaiting. Uwhat is ahead for us?W is a question that is in the mind of many young people, but the answer to this question is simply that unlimited opportunity is awaiting us in the future and we have a chance to take advantage of these opportunities by making necessary prepar- ations. Vocational choice is another important factor to consider for it alone means our whole future. There are many things to consider when choosing a vocation. It often happens that students see the folly of selecting a vocation for which they do not have the capacity. To make a sucessful choice, the student must have a strong interest in the field he or she selects. He must have necessary preparation and use good judgement, since the field of vocational opportunities for trained men and women are broader at the present time than ever before. The need for study of science of human relations has never been greater than it is today. Industrial and commer- cial developments in other countries are important. Commer- cial relations have increased demands. Radio provides voc- ations of many kinds. Secretarial employees are in great ' demands. Professional work, is offering many more opportunities for the future. We young people need not worry for lack of opportunity for we are living in a land where opportunity is unlimited.

I i A FOOLOSOPHY OF EDUCATION One time the animals had a school. The curriculum consisted of running, climbing, flying, and swimming, and all the animals took all the subjects. The duck was good in swimming, better, in fact than his instructorg and he made passing grades in flying, but he was practically hopeless in running. Because he was low in this subject, he was made to stay in after school and drop his swimming class in order to practice running. He kept this up until he was only average in swimming. But average is acceptable so nobody worried about that except the duck. The eagle was considered a problem pupil and was disci- plined severely. He beat all the others to the top of the tree in climbing class, but he used his own way of getting there. The rabbit started out at the top of the class in running, but he had a nervous breakdown and had to drop out of school on account of so much make-up work in swimming. The squirrel led the climbing class, but took his fly- ing lessons from the ground up instead of top of the tree down, and he developed charley horses from over-exertion at the take-off and began getting C's and D's in running. The practical prairie dogs apprenticed their offspring to a badger when the school authorities refused to add digging to the curriculum. At the end of the year, an abnormal eel, who could swim well, run, climb, and fly a little, was made valedictorian. UFisher Flashesu The Fisher School KfTrTF5TI'X XX sf-. 3 by xi' 1, . X f Tk 'Q .AJ
