CHRISTIAN
INSTRUCTION
WHAT is ii? and WHY is it?
(ConnuNIcAreD)

The School Board of the School
for Christian Primary Instruction
deemed 1t proper to answer the a.
hove questions. On the one hand
because the general public has a
right to know the WHAT and the
WHEREFORE of this instruction.
And ON the other hand. its sup
porters have q right to explain
themselves and TO prevent or re-
move any possible wrong idea con-
cerning It. Let us briefly state
our candid conviction in this mat
ter.
Most of the readers of this will
know that many Of the foremost
thinkers and educators OF our
c0uHtry attribute the evident de-
cline OF sound morals in our land
In part to q serious defect In our
educational institutions. And no
close Investigation IL required to
ascertain where the defect lies.
There was a time when we. in
conplacent self-sufficiency. consid-
cred our educational system to be
as nearly perfect as possible. But
that time Ia past. Let US refer
you to what three leading authori-
ties ON general education have Just
recently said In their public speak
ing and writing:
I've are brought face to face
with the necessity OF the reorgani-
cation OF our school courses in Or
der that the young shall be effici-
emily fitted to perform their duties
to their homes, to their societies
and to their State" Frederick
Burk.
"The praise of our education is
debilitating. The whole thing is
permeated with gross errors and
wicked hypocrisy" WIN. Nc
Andrew.
"The public school Is the most
momentous failure in our Ameri-
can life today. Miss Ella Frances
Lynch.
Remember that these are not
the words of some sympathizers
with the Christian Schools; much
less do they express the opinion o:
some narrow minded religionist
they are spoken by brOad-minded
and foremost educators.
What is the trouble with our
educational system? Outstanding a
mong other defects Is the LACK OF
RELIGIOUS TRAINING in oul
schools, from the primary grades
t. the university courses. We have
been giving our youth a one-sided
intellectual! development. We have
been inexcusably negligent in de-
veloping them spiritually. To every
candid observer the fact Is evident
that recent generations are not
showing that seriousness of mind
not having those high standards OF
morality not displaying that sterr
sense Of Justice, not responding SC
well to the call of duty. not evinc'
ing that integrity and incorruptible
ness in public life by which theil
f0refathers distinguished them
selves.

VALEDICTORY
By Miss Reka Oldemeyer, Of

This, the last number on the last
program OF our commencement ex-

our high school course and our en-
trance into the struggles of life.

Our curtain il now rising and We
should be in full costume, prepar-
ed to begin the first scene of the
first act at once. We shall now
have to depend upon our own re-
sources.
When we entered Lynden High
School al freshmen We thought we
had four long years Of hard work
before us, but as We pause now to
reflect ON them for q few mo-
ments, while We are glad that we
are considered competent to receive
the honors Of these exercises OF to-
night, yet we regret that the years
have passed 30 quickly.
Sometimes we have been just a
little discouraged. and sometimes
little troubles and trials have paid
us a visit, but "A gem is not pol
ished without rubbing, nor Is man
perfected without trials" and the
motto We have chosen is Proceed,
not Recede'-and after all. our
pleasures and successes have by far
superseded vexations.

Alma Mater. We were represented
in the debating team which. as you
all know. won a double champion
ship this year-both in the county
and the state district. This Is more
than any school In the state has
ever done, or even attempted to do,
in one year. Then our great ath-
letes who were instrumental in win
ming the championship of the county
Field Meet must also be remember
ed. Still another thing We have
to be proud of Is that We are the
originator of the Junior Declamatory
Contest, which is to continue to be
an annual affair But We did not
win these honOrs and laurels alone
they were won under the kind and
faithful guidance of our patient in
structors.
However, We must arrive at our
"Good-byes" sometime. though we
regret that many things We have
accomplished have been 30 defect
i've. and that they were often done
so unwillingly and to no better pur-
pose than they were.
Gentlemen of the Board of Edu-
cation-We thank you for the pleas
