ronsvvonn Next in importance to freedom and justice is pop- ular education Without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained, Wrote James Garfield, Who, like Abraham Lincoln, had been a rugged scholar of the Log Cabin school. The educa- tion obtained by book and experience rounded out these hardy pioneer boys into strong patriots. With the promise of a shorter Working-day and longer hours to be used for recreation there also comes a sense of our responsibility to prepare for this near- future leisure. By rounding out our education it can enrich our lives and in turn those of our friends. ln schools, Which are organized with different na- tionalities, there is much chance for executive ability to be shown. Students are eager to grasp this power and to use it wisely. Although they are not Wholly guided by others' opinions and actions, they strive to follow the examples set for them by present execu- tives. As there are in Congress various committees which help decide the actions of the United States, so are there in Thornton clubs Which factor in the policies of the school. Only through concurrent effort of all members can there be success.
