You Get A Record
Most important is the fact that what
ever one learns in an institution Is q
matter of record. 1t is something that
is markable. 1t Is like the pedigree OF
a pure bred animal. There Is guar
antee that you have successfully mast
cred a course.
We have seen two heifers standing
side by side in the barn. They looked
very much alike. They were Droxy
and Roxy. Droxy gave more milk
than Roxy and 1t was as good In quail
ity but Droxy could be bought for
SIS while Roxy could not be bought
| for ten times that.
Why?
| Droxy had no pedigree record. Roxy
| with her guaranteed pure blood was
sure to produce calves with much the
same qualities she had, but there was
no knowing what weak strains in
Droxy's blood might produce weak
ling now and then.
| A Jersey must have q pedigree clear
on both sides back to the Isle Of Jer-
sey in the English Channel because
for more than 200 years nothing but a
Jersey has been on that island.
A high school has standing that
gives to its graduates q pedigree. The
Latin School, Boston, has never grad
uated a boy who was not pure breed
in the classics.
The Washington Irving High School
in New York has begun to establish
its breed of learning as distinct from
the Boston Latin School as 1t is in the
personification of civic efficiencq
High School Years Are Vital
a high school course Is adapted to
the best attainment of young people
from thirteen to eighteen. No normal
child can wisely and reasonably learn
before twelve what he can best learn
from thirteen to eighteen, and while
many things in the course can be
learned later, it is much better, If the
course is well chosen, to learn it in
these years.

he plants it after a given day in June.
AS society and the industrial world
are, If young man or woman does
not enter the high school before he is
sixteen it is reasonably sure that he

He cannot get place that is oper
to promotion in any railroad office. in

II Is an awful thing for a young mar
or woman to deliberately shut and loci
all doors to the best things in a busi
ness and professional life.
