Every pupil should ask himself from time to time the following questions: Why do I go to school? If remaining in school until gradu- ation were left entirely with me to decide upon would I graduate? Statistics have shown that the amount of income a person receives is governed largely by the amount of formal education he has. Is this the only justifiable reason for staying in school as long as I can? What are some rewards that I must endeavor to attain other than material ones? Am I doing my very best in all of my classes, or ami doing just enough to get by ? Do I respect the rights of others? When I am tempted to think evil and immoral thoughts, do I have the courage and fortitude to immediately dispel them from my mind? Do I perform my tasks well, or must some-one go over the task assigned to me. Earnestly asked and truthfully answered, the foregoing questions should tend to stimulate wit hin each individual student a desire to analyze both objectively and subjectively the areas in which he is strong and also those areas where he apparently needs help from out- side sources. A full knowledge of one ' s self is a prerequisite to successful living, both now and in the future. ■»
