THE HARBOR BEACON thouvht I ouvht to know I Watched hrm closely for some trme Suddenly he ralsed hrs ey es 1n my dlrectlon and when I saw those ey es I knew rt was Hollls Brafrdon But who would have thouffht rt 9 He rarsed hrs hands westlcu latrnv and broufrht them tofrether wrth a banfr and then I sat up to hnd that Mary and Moonle had come down on Falls Polnt for a walk and Moonre imdrno' me asleep had brnved hrs hands together just over my ear Ruth Brafrdon, '12 The l-lrgh School as a Trammg Camp of the Future I speak of the Hrgh School as a tramxnfr camp of the future because rt lays the foundatron of an educatron both moral and mtellectual I say moral and xntellectual educatron Nioral educa tron 3 Yes We must consrder moral educatron before the mtellectual or the latter yyrll never reap rts due rewards And thrs moral trarnrng ls the most Important lesson that a student of a secondary school rs taufrht It rs the moral les faculty that lmpress and hll the youth wrth the power of dome' what lb rrffht And as the years roll bv and the upper classes graduate the under Graduates know that therr turn must soon come and they too wrll be compelled to fro out rnto the world and face the problems of lrfe It IS thrs thoufrht that urges them to do therr best and that fills them mth an ambrtron to fill the pl rces of the men md women ot today rn a satrsfattory manner Athletrcs rs also a part of thx tr unrnfr both ln vrvlnfr physrcal exerclse to the boys and ln urgrno' them forward to do good work 1n therr studres Of thrs last I can Ofrve an example of a case rrffht here ln bullrvan Hrrfh School not wlthstandrnfr the fret that athletics his been rn the school only a short trme NVhen the brsket ball team was or ffanrfed a boy yy ho was dome' poor work IH hrs studles and yy ho seemed to have no thouffht about school trred to make the team But the prrncrpal and coach told hlm that ln order to play rn the team he must reach a certain mark 1n hrs studres He was a good athelete and wanted to make the team so he be gan to study harder and the result was that he passed off hrs year s work successfully These thrnfrs toffether yyrth the Intellectual knowledve obtarned from a four y ear course serye to make the Hrvh School the toundatron of a true educa tron And as sure as the mrlrtary schools tram the soldlers of the army, so the Hrfrh bchool trams the Great rrmy of boys and frrrls yy ho wear the unrforms not of the mrlrtary Held but of crvrluatron W hy are trained commanders of more use rn war than volunteers 9 Srmplv for the reason that these men have made mrlltary sclence therr l1te work and have been trarned ln mrlrtary schools whereas the volunteers have been en gaved 1n the darly occupatrons of lrfe and know nothlnv' about mllrtary affalrs So the com parrson may be apphed to the Great army of wave earners ln thrs country and, rndeed, 1n all parts of the C1V1l176d World Why are educated men better qualrffed to lead others and to frll men? And why are we yyrllmv to yreld the places of honor and trust to them and allow them to lead us 9 The questron answers rtself lt rs because they have had the experrence and trarnrno' for therr l1f6,S yyork and understand how to meet the emerfrencles that occur rn therr work th rt make them the leaders of men And of course, rt IS necessary to have a leader of leaders and so such men are selected, both rn the mrlrtar y field Wearrno' the unrforms of war, and rn the helds of scrence, art, law and learn mfr yy earrnfr the unrforms of crtmenshrp Grant rnd Sherman attended the YVest Pornt Mllltafy Ac rderny , Lee and qtonwall Jackson attended a mrlrtary school rn Vrrgrnra, the Duke of W ellrn0'ton was a student at a mrlrtary school rn France , and Ivrpoleon went to one of the best mrlrtary schools In Furope It Was thls errly trarnrnfr torrether Wrth therr ambrtlon and abrlrty to Ierd men that made them leaders ID ,, ,:, . . , , .
