LOOK ON LIFE AS
GAME, NOT WARFARE
Urges Responsiveness to New Ideas
in Education and Points to
the Great Possibilities of
Oklahoma

Ing HiOtlO WOulu leave WIN you
and the lesson l would impress upon
all men is this: Think in larger units.
You have in Oklahoma the possibili-
ties of leading all America if you only
realize your opportunities. You must
look to larger areas. Think not of
Oklahoma alone or of the southwest.
but of the entire country
THE great need of the nation is o.
leader who can think in larger units,
who knows no north, no south, no east
NO west, but whose heart beats for the
entire country. / may be premature
in my judgment but somehow | am
nursing the idea that we now have a
man in the White House who thinks
in national units, and if he makes US
think that way l don't care how many
mistakes he makes in Mexxico or any
other place"
The above language was used by Dr.
Il. A. Winship, eminent Boston educa-
tor and editor, in a lecture at the high
school Tuesday evening, rare treat
to all who heard it.
Getting Into the Game" was the
subject of the lecture which appealed
with equal force to the large number
of students and to the older people to
whom it was addressed To the young
people, Dr. Winship gave practical
pointers on the business of life and in
the minds of the older folks he aimed
to pave the way for responsiveness to
the new ideas in education.
Il want everybody to look upon life
as a game, not as a warfare" said the
speaker in his opening remarks. "The
reason why America is not mixed up
in the war in Europe now in some way
is the fact that we have always look
ed upon life as a game We have never
made it our business to be prepared
for war but we have always been pre-
pared to play the game.
There are four points that | want
to stress: First, play your own game,
not theo ther fellows; second, know
your game; third, play the game of the
day, not the game of yesterday; fourth,
be a good loser. That's about all you
need to know about this game.
IF am buncoed | have made up my
mind that l will lie about it and be-
lieye the Lord will forgive me for it
because he forgives fools and I'll be a
fool if I'm buncoed. Nobody is ever
buncoed unless he tries to play the
other fellows game We must teach
our boys and girls to play their own
game and to know the game they play.
Carnegie, Rockefeller and James J,
Hill have made millions because they
always played the game they knew.
am not quarrelng with them as to the
way they played it. Some of my
friends think they didn't play it fair
