THEIR REASON FOR WISHING
High School Students Give Answers
To A Pertinent Question.

The following reasons IN answer to
the question why Want to go to a
University" are given by three of the
graduating class of the Oakland High
School, which follow in the wake of
similar reasons published in these
columns last week:
One of the great desires of my life
has been to finish my education at a
University after | had completed the
high school course.
! Of course the foundation of our ed
ucationkis laid in the grammar and
/ high schools, but at College we can
take a special course of study for which
we have a special liking and talent, and
/ thus be better prepared for our work
in the world. No matter what work
we may wish to take up, there is some
college where we can prepare ourselves
for it.
/ People from all over the world attend
college, and by daily association with
these people our own minds become
broader and gain new thoughts and
ideas. There is also a great deal of
pleasure at College and the life is in
itself an education. Therefore all
sides of our nature is developed

Why should | go to a University?
This is question every boy asks him
self when he graduates from the high
school. 1t is a question well worth a
great deal of consideration. 1t is a
question thousands of successful men
have asked themselves at this particular
point of life.
| should go to a University to in
crease my efficiency. Statistics show
that man with a University educa-
ton is much more efficient than one
without. 1t stands to reason that if
one goes to University and studies on
one subject for four years he is going
to be more efficient than one without
this essential foundation work.
should go to a University to develop
myself not only mentally, but physically
and socially as well. The we'll equipped
gymnasiums of the Universities as well
as the outdoor sports such as base
ball, football and tennis offer a splen-
did opportunity for physical develop
ment. At University one is thrown
in with all classes of people and there
fore learns to pick his company.
For the above named reasons | think
every boy or girl should go to a Uui-
verslty, to enable them to better meet
the difficulties which one encounters in
life from ineftciency and lack of know
ledge of our fellowmen

In these modern days ones education
is not considered complete unless one has
studied at some college or University.
One may say that a college educa-
ton has an actual money value, for
most women, after finishing their educa-
ton, are prepared to take up some pro-
fession. Today she may 90 to most any
good college and learn law, medicine,
library work or any profession she may
choose. In this way she will have as
good chance to command good posi-
ton as her brother. Although they
are not as yet being adequately paid,
they are making continual Roadway in
this respect.
In college women are trained to deal
with more difficult problems and larger
subjects than her unframed sister is
capable of handling
In this way the trained woman will
be able to command better salary than
the uneducated woman. Not only the
money value but also the cultural phase
and social experience are important.
She receives an education, thus broaden
ing her mind and helping her not to
form hasty opinions. Meeting and
/ conversing with people of so many
different types gives her a clearer in
sight into human nature.
When she is not studying or occupied
with social affairs which the college
offers, she may engage in athletics, and
thus receive physical culture. This
phase of education is important.
In the end she has a good store of
knowledge and a grasp on life, which
will make her useful person in the
world. She will be a better citizen, a
more efficient worker and possess a
stronger personality.
