Facing The World Hump. T That is the sensation of the High School student when he faces the world. His feet, so securely grounded on the classics, he Ends about to slip from beneath him. His eyes, turned upward in pursuit of some vague and half formed ideal, seem afiiicted with a. sort of strabismus. Or else the world is wrong. Strange as it may seem, that is the true state of things. The world would really be better peering through the eyes of the man and woman fresh from college and school, better in every con- ceivable way, even as the child is pure but simple as it leaves the motherls knee. The High School student soon learns that there are no Va- cant bank presidencies. He finds in most instances that his stepping from the school into the struggle was not anticipated, not looked for, not pre- pared for, by any one except the father, and the mother, and the rest of the intimate circle. He discovers that it is up to him to begin at the bottom just like the other fellows who left school in the eighth grade or be- fore, that he is neither better nor worse now than a million oth- ers , that it is up to him just as much' as it is to the man who can- not read, or write, or appreciate. So he doffs the cap and gown for the overalls. lVork's a pleasure. Rare are those who do not find it so. The High School student is no exception and he soon thinks that his job is THE job. However, there is something different about the High School man or woman. HE ASPIRES. That is the greatest thing in life, to aspire. It means to look up with the intention of climbing up, and as long as the graduate feels that way about the matter he is a safe man for America and the world. Employers are looking for the man who aspires. The Great Employer reserves his finest rewards for those who look up, and up, ceaselessly, patiently. Mathematics is valuable discipline. 7
