Dean of Women What do you want from life? Some may say, The very idea asking eighteen year old boys and girls such a question! Why bother? But the fruit-grower must decide what kind of an orchard he can grow best: apples? cherries? peaches? pears? plums? Next, he must decide what particular variety he wishes to produce. Then he will plant, cultivate, wait, and finally be rewarded by a period of production. As a harvest of fruit depends upon the planting; so successful living depends upon planning and industry. Foresight in planning and industry plus God mean satisfaction in life. May the Godly foresight that brings success come to every student of Central State Teachers College! !'■ twenty

President IF WASHINGTON COllld look back upon this nation, which he fathered, how would he be impressed with the apparent lack of leadership in these trying times? Would he agree with a recent writer that every year we are turning out of our high schools and colleges a million or more students who are as indifferent to the processes of government as are the adults of today? That critical statement is a direct challenge to every one of our educational institutions, but especially to those of higher learning. Our colleges, to justify their existence, must be the training camps for a leadership that shall help direct the energies of the citizens of this great republic into channels that shall change the whole attitude of the American people so that history shall not again see a repetition of the blundering processes which have produced the present industrial and financial chaos. It has been the aim of Central College to bend all her energies toward that type of training for true leadership, to the end that all those who go out from her halls may be imbued with the high ideals and true Americanism of Washington.

Get all you can, keep all you get, and some day you’ll be rich.” If the rewards of academic achievement were measured only by the accumulation of material things, the miser’s advice to his son would be most rational. In college, however, emphasis is not placed upon a training which has for its goal any infallible formula for the accumulation of wealth. The college period is a probationary time when intellect and character are tested and refined. To come under the influence of a college environment where individuals are made ready for the highest type of human service is a privilege worth seeking for those who analyze and develop their potentialities.
