OUR horizon may be defined as the limit or range of your outlook or experience. As you ascend the trails of knowledge which your school has opened to you the farther away will be your mental horizon. Only by pushing back the horizon which separates the known things from the unknown is your progress made. How far your known world will be widened depends on how intelligently and constructively you use your time. May you never cease to explore and meet the chal- lenge in each new opportunity. Seniors, we congratulate you on your graduation and wish you suc- cess. i C. P. BOWDLE.

T has been said that the Ameri- can secondary school should give the youth of high school age an opportunity to gather infor- mation, build skills and develop ap- preciation so that they can use their abilities to the utmost after leaving school. That, in itself, constitutes education. The high school is obli- gated more than ever before in our history to offer the best possible kind of education. The American sec- ondary school has changed from the original highly selective institution which offered extraordinary oppor- tunities to the few, to the present school which ministers to all classes and types of students. Modern at- tendance laws have, to a large extent, brought about this change. The ex- tent of the school's influence has tre- mendously increased. The deficien- cies and strengths of its educational program are inevitably reflected as defects or virtues in our National life. ' The members of our Board of Edu- cation should be commended on their efforts to broaden our curricu- lum to meet present day needs. C. D. Fox.
