They we're generous In responding
to encores The students certainly
appreciate these programs given By
the friends of the school and are al
ways delighted when they come.
The high school students had the
privilege or listening to an inspiring
address. by Prof. slocum OF Colorado
College last Tuesday morning. He
spoke for some three quarters OF an
hour on the subject OF 'sCitizenship."
He called attention to the present
crisis in the world produced by the
war. and that We receive news daily
concerning this war and know much
OF what Is going on in the world.
Therefore we are citizens of the world
not only OF the United States.
He said that in the Greek language !.
there are two words for life One
means simply the number OF years a
person lives while the other means
the kind OF life he leads. 1t is bet
ter to live a day as Lincoln or any
other great man lived than 10 live so
years and accomplish nothing.
The warning nations arc now going
backward instead of forward. When
the war is over all those nations
VIII be devastated. There must be
some nation TO guide them. Az wo
are citizens OF the whole world we can
each make the world better We
must enter into larger citizenship.
We all have opportunities but we
must rise to them In order TO do this
we must never be content with what
we have already accomplished. but
should put our faces TO the storm
and keep pushing on.
Il is all right 10 make money but
Il is not making fortune that pro-
duces great men. II is the hard work
connected with r.
No one has any right 20 be any
thing but al his best. Many Of as
hsvd greater possibilities than 80
realize. We must prepare ourselves
and always b ready for The thing
we are to do.
Character Isn't reputation. People
can Indignantly destroy your rsputa-
ton. but M one can hurt your char
acter but yourself.
The world needs trained men Good
citizens are needed IN Colorado.
Therefore it II for every one TO tzAin
himself for some great work and al
ways 10 be At his best in everything.
