instructive talk on the cycles OF life.
There are ten cycles in the average life.
the period or the first three or four be-
ing about seven years, and those of the
others being irregular We are in in
fancy during the first cycle, and the
second we pass in the grammer schools,
and the third and our present cycle we
spend in the high school. This cycle is
the most important of all. We are
now training our mental powers to
think for ourselves. Our mental devel-
opement does not become complete in
this cycle, but receives a good start,
and continues to develop during the
next cycle. 1t is the same with the
moral phase of this period. Therefore
it is necessary that we should sow good
seed in order to insure a good harvest
later. The school seeks to train us for
the future. In the second cycle, that is

teachers and superiors, but in this
cycle we should learn to control our
selves The school supports athletics
