 Self Discipline Essential
 Dr. Spaeth said in rart, We peo- pie of America have way Of cheer ing for liberty honor and glory We love justice and work for the best and noble things of life, But there is the other side. We have laws that we must obey rules at school to fol- low. duties at home that need our at- tontion and public laws to maintain. Many or these things seem distasteful at times but very necessary to main- tain this complex life. We all love freedom and want to be free men. !. Organized knowledge makes us free men.
 Tt is what you do TOW will de- eide if you will be free man later in life. If you spend your time va cationing you will pay the price later, | much to your sorrow. Work hard for freedom and be a free man.
 First begin by training your body. | At my present age I maintain my daily exercise and try to keep fit and | clean in body the house and temple of the mind. During my spare time when I am not pursuing my regular duties I coach the varsity crew.
 We have had a mighty successful season as no doubt you boys know All the men rowing in these success full races were well trained in body as well in mind. The reason they were successful is because they worked hard and were better trained then their opponents.
 It Is Hard to BcSm
 "An old German proverb says, the beginning of all new things is hard, very true Many things you boys at- tempt today seem exceedingly hard but, there will come time as you progress in your work when these tasks will become easy and you will come out on top.
 VI sincerely believe in physical training and want to see more of 1t. But, physical training and athletic sports should never interfere with school work. Study should inter- fere with athletics. One cannot get along without the other. Study is of course the more important and a young man should so arrange his time for both of these.
 You athletic men, don't break training. Live your clean lives and you will collect big dividends later in life. Keep out in the great outdoors. Roam the woods. Commune with God and Nature Marvel at its won- ders.
 Be masters of your body and you will master your mind. Don't permit {
