THE VALUE OF GOING TO COLLEGE This June is going to be an exciting month for the thousands of students graduating from high school in this country. All these pupils have acquired an education which will help them greatly in the life that follows after high school. Many should go on to college or some other department of further education. One might ask what are the benefits of spending so much money on college as it is :o expensive and already you have a diploma from high school? There are numerous advantages in attending a higher institution of learning. A person may go through high school as an average student but in an university, through further study, he may discover that he has hidden abilities of which previously there had been no symptoms. An individual is stimulated mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. A student is apt to study more intensively if he is working at something he is interested in. There are many vari- eties of competitive sports in which one is able to participate if he has any talent in athletics. It might prove difficult to be able to play in universities unless one is exceptionally good. That is a situation in which a small college might meet a person’s needs and advantages. Spiritually, a person has many opportunties to grow immensely. In almost every institution chapel must be attended. Through this daily contact with religion, one’s ideals should be considerably higher than they were at entrance of the institution. Through constant mingling with many types of people, an individual will learn how to mix with people successfully. He will attain poise which formerly he did not have. Last but not least, a person with a college degree is apt to earn more money than an uneducated individual. Sometimes, this does not prove true but I am assured that the one with a college education will certainly be much happier than the other person. These are several of the numerous advantages of going on to school but no one but the individual can decide whether to go or not. MARY L. EGNER, Editor-in-Chief — Five —
