'luwuage One of the best definitions of education is the one given by the world famous philosopher and educator, John Dewey. He says, Educa- tion is growthf' A You Seniors have given evidence of marked growths: Physical growth which is easily noted, mental growth which it is more difiicult to measure, and spiritual growth which is most difficult of all to evaluate. In a physical sense your brain power has un- folded to almost its maximum latent possibili- ties. Your mental and spiritual powers for your adult life are just beginning to flower. In these two directions, if you maintain a vigorous and alert attitude, you may expect to grow as long as you live. TILLMAN PETERSON, Superi11zfe1zde1zt. To THE GRADUATING CLASS: It is well to evaluate what you are as the re- sult of our years of attendance here. Here you gained only information, as a sponge absorbs water or have you acquired certain attitudes which will endure for a life-time? Do you choose more desirable companions? Do you have an ambition to do something worthwhile and be of service to your fellowmen? Will your leisure time be spent in a Way that is creative rather than degenerating? Is your philosophy of life one which does not sneer at things which are sacred and worthwhile? If your four years of self-discipline have given you an attitude which will be enduring and wholesome you have gained infinitely more than the contents of the subjects you have stered. H. D. SORENSEN, Principal. ITIS
