this tendency to gather up the past
and look forward into the future-to
shane it into a plan and then make
this plan new act.
The power to make plan IS very
far-reaching in it's effect. Man grows
with wonderful swifmess, Because q
cat acts impulsiyely her wants ana
range Of her activity never grow A
wear from hence, you viii find her
seeking the same ends that she seeks
now The difference between acting
on impulse or instinct and acting from
= purDose is that impulses never en-
large the wants and purpose, carried
ont. always do. The cat when she
is hungry snatches at the preferred
food and eats. The man fells hungry,
realizes the necessity Of the future
sunnIv of foods and works out his fu-
ture accordingly. The cat looks TO the
moment: man looks before and aIter
and therefore becomes capable OF end
less growth.
We. of c. II. s., are also going TO
have a firm, fixed place throughout
life and we are going to make our
"Alma Mater" proud Of us ore OF
these days.

POWER OF PURPOSE.
Rv Ianie Mathews.
"This one thing | do.

"This one thing | do
If we have a purpose it means that
we want to do something and thus
to make something different from
what it is now. Suppose that you had
set your heart on doing certain
thing; it is not wish but definite
purpose. Such a purpose, Immediately
begins to affect both what you do and
what you refuse to do.
As soon as we begin to aim at any
one thing the moral life takes hold
of us. Our first Impressions may be
that we have no purpose at all in lie
Why are we living? The very fact OF
your living suggests a purpose. There
are many people who say, ION, | hate
responsibility; | am going to be just
as irresponsible as | can" But, yet,
from the very fact that he decides
to be irresponsible, he becomes moral
ly Responsible; for to resist all i'm
pulses toward steady work and to
devote oneself to being an animal IS
to carry out a difficult project. No one
can carry out a steady plan Of being
irresponsible for he is always respon-
sible for that plan.
No matter how trivial a plan may
be formed, there is just a spark OF
morality mingled with it,
To have a plan, to be about some
thing, is then the distinguishing mark
of the moral real and also the most
important characteristic of humanity.
Man is an animal who makes and car
ries out plans. Other animals do not
look far beyond the present moments.
Man is supposed to look before ana
after. If you see cat dying OF thirst
and offer her a glass Of water VIII
she do as David and pour it on the
ground as an offering to the Lord; or
will she as Sir Philip Sidney did, give
it TO a poor dying soldier. No! she
will not, but will drink until she has
enough. A man draws in other mo-
ments of his life, other ideals of him
self to compete with and withstand
this domineering craving until finally
he puts aside his parching thirst and
gives it to his neighbor in love.
1t is the power Of purpose which
makes man capable of freedom and
purposes. All the richness and no
bility of human life, all mans hero
ism and genius are made possible by

One other evil the boy should be
guarded from and that is idleness. Let
us say with all truth, with the author
of this" An idle brain is the devils
workship." You can find something
for him to do If he has plenty to
occupy his mind, very likely he will
never think of smoking anything.
Cooperation, team work, always
wins. Therefore let us all strive to
make our boys better pupils, better
students and better boys

THE RULLOCH TWINS.


The first rule a second year high
school pupil learns is that a theme
must have unity and conference, and
that emphasis must be well placed. II
we apply this rule to people, no one,
surely, surpasses Mary and Margaret,
for they have all of these character
istics. a oneness of thought" a
"clinging together" and as for EN-
phasis,-well, as is proper, each one
places emphasis on the other.
A few weeks ago Mary was impart-
ing a very important secret to- one
Of the school girls. She finished with,
"Now, don't tell, because | haven't
breathed it to another soul" mot
even Nargaret?" ooh, we'll Marga-
rets me-" was the answer which CON
tanned more truth than grammar. But
Mary and Margaret are not selfish.
TEcv have love and interest for all,
which is probably one reason why
others love them and are interested
in them.
Although The Twins are both jolly
good sports and jolly good students,
one of the incest things about them
is their dissimularity. In spite Of tn
looks, clothes, and sense of humcr
which they possess in common, each
has distinct personality. Ind after
all it is this which makes each so
popular, for who doesn't like person
who is "different?"

With the advancement of all cOurs
cs of the high school, athletics, as
course, has been advanced consider
ably But with all it's Announcements,
But with all it's advancement, it is
not encouraged and upheld by the
school authorities as it should be.
Athletics are of vital Importance,
not only in college, but in the high
schools. Why? Every student needs
certain amount of exercise and there
is no better way for boy or girl to
to get this exercise than to come out
on the track in the afternoon and par
ticipate in interesting games. One
might think that too much valuable
time would be wasted, but can we
afford to neglect our physical train
ing? We say, no! for the success of
! the mental training lies and centers
about the physical training. If a stu
dent is enjoying robust health and
takes his exercise regularly, nine
times out of ten he heads his class or
is among the leaders
Now to make brilliant pupils out
of our boys, his training must start
when he is little tot 1t is exactly
the same process that you should fol
low in making him an all round ath-
lete If you want him to be among
the best pupils, both in literary and
athletic ways, you must watch his ear
~ actions; you must see that he eats
properly; you must by all means keep
him from smoking; and dissipation
Of every form should be forbidden.
See that he is at the supper table ev-
cry night and never let him stay out
at nights if you can possibly help it.
You may say that it is the boys fault
that they start these evil habits that
cramp their future success, both in
class and on the track. 1t is, to GER
tain extent, but the parent should
have done his part-he should have
been more careful and more thought
full
There are many ways that you can
start your boy right and among the
best and the most popular way is to
make your home attractive. Give
your boy room to himself. for that
is one thing that boy Graves. Many
boys have left their homes just be-
cause it wasn't attractive. When you
build that new bungalow, won't you
see to it that your boy has room?

GLASS POE M.
By Florence Alien.

We have worked for many days IN
the sunshine and the rain,
But today our way will part not to
meet in class again.
We look with pleasant thoughts on
our school days that are past
But it seems, as we recall them, that
they went indeed too fast.
Our thoughts are somewhat sadden-
ed for we have reached the last.
The paths may seem rugged and steep,
We may long for the low sunny
plane,
But there will always be a helping
hand TO soothe and east the pain.
We must work for the future in the
rosy dawn of the day,
For the golden moments flee, and
time speeds on his way.
and when opportunity comes and
knocks at our gates
We must be ready to answer for "Op-
portunity never waits"
Tho oft we may be in doubt and our
hearts nay ache to the corn,
We must climb and tomorrow will
find us higher than ever before.
There is star in the heavens for
each to search fer and strive to
attain;
There are ideals which we try to reach
And in reaching we toll not in vain.
There is a mountain top far over the
plain,
Tho surrounded by clouds, dark and
drear,
We must climb, and climbing We'll
reign,
On the side that is silvery clear
So let our aims be lofty and our as
pirations be high,
And then if we fail, it will not mean
that we did not honestly try.
But even failure is not a crime nor
is it a disgrace,
And should it come to any of us, we'll
meet it Face to Face"
But our aims are high and thus we
will win,
But to reach our ideals we must quick
ly begin.
After our stars have been gained and
the topmost heights have been
won,
The God of Hosts in His heaven will
whisper to each, well Done
