COLLEGE OR HIGH SCHOOL: WHICH?

why does he wish TO go? Unless he
Is anxious TO go there for the best
that the college has TO offer him, do
not send him al all. If he is going
there simply TO have good time, or
simply for the name Of having gone
20 college, it Will be little short of a
miracle IL he is benefited The chanc-
es are decidedly against him. He is
more likely TO become an idler and
spendthrift, IL not worse Unless
you are satisfied that he is able TO do
college work and willing to do it, put
him to work. Boys and girls should
be taught to work. anyway.
5. Are you thinking Of sending
your boy or girl TO college because he
is not studying in the high school at
home? On what do you base your hope
that either will do better at college?
Is it reasonable TO hope that either

quently believe that their children
are doing well away from home when
as a matter of fact they are doing
nothing. The parents do not see the
failures, and no one reports all the
failures
.. Are YOU thinking of sending
your child to college because he has
not been advanced. or promoted, in
tine high school? Sometimes the col
lege professor and the high school
teacher take the same view of boys
fitness for promotion from class to
class. He may fail o7 promotion after
he gets to college. Then what?
TO- Have you good four-year high
school at home? Has your child been
through that school? III not, why do
you not put him through it before
sending him to college? If he leaves
the high school before he completes
the high school work. is it not PLAIN
to you that wherever he goes he must
first complete that work before ne
can possibly begin college work? Has
the pupil gained anything by going to
some college to do the work Of the
high school?
u. Have YOU no good high school
at home? Then would it not be better
and cheaper to you to establish such
a school? Would it not be paying
investment to you and your neighbors
to establish first-class high school?
After making full allowances for
scholarships, free tuition and other
gratuities, the average pupil cannot
be kept away from home at school for
less than $3.50 to $500 year. Four
pupils at college would cost $1,000
to $1,000 year-enough to pay for
an additional frst-class teacher in
your home high school Would it not
be economy to keep this money in
your own school for the benefit of your
child and your neighbor's child Would
il not be wise to make your own com
munity an intellectual center?
H. Why will people OF sound judg-
ment attempt to run a high school
with one teacher at $75 to 500
month. and another at $50 month.
then spend each year enough on four
or five pupils at college, doing high
school work, to pay the entire ex-
pend!ture in the home high school

patient. gentle. unselfish and sympa-
thetic. From even the greatest woes we
may gather up some baSketful of COM
fort and from the greatest joys we may
save forever some gladdening recollection.
Some of the kindhest, most sympathetic
and loving souls have been made such
by gathering up profit from trouble. One
of the most unseltsh characters in Cur
city was once a neglected child, made to
give up everything a child cares for to
her well-cared-for brother. and later she
was q neglected and an abused wife, but
her experiences as child and woman have
gone into the warp and wool of her soul
because she perseveringly gathered what
was left and made the best use of it,
God no more means that our experiences
shall be without gathered fragments of
good than He means that in todays
plenty we shall forget tomorrows
needs.
The. dearest of ties. between friends
shall be served by change and death; the
ties of marriage and parentage shall be
broken. but after the miracle Of love has
multiplied our joys and the sunset has
come, shall we have no fragments of
happiness gathered from past joys to
sustain us when We walk amid the
shadows? And we should not forget that
that other life beyond the shadows, of
tie. must largely be made up of the
gathered fragments of the life we are
now living.

wanted Who ever heard of such king
He had only to speak and they would be
fed, 1t has not been many years since
a great political cry was connected with
paign of that sort, so far as history
records, was on the occasion referred to
by our story. Their platform. their poll
tics, their campaign was simply the
Christ king simply because he could feed
them. His only answer chilled their en-
thusiasm: Gather up the fragments that
remain. that nothing be lost" He met
their political enthusiasm with the sane
counseIs OF economy. We need that les
son In our American life. for We are
an eXtravagant people and need to learn
that the appearance of great prosperity
and the sight of abundant plenty does
not absove us from the duty OF pru-
dence thrift and economy. Though ma
ture may produce abundant harvests,
man must plant the seed. Though God
may enrich us with natural resources,
ne need to use them with prudence and
counsel against extravagant wasteful-
ness.
While the political enthusiasm of the
occasion died away, was nothing left
Yes. The lesson was TO be gathered up
as well as the fragments OF food. that

mize. that they must remember another
