High School Seniors Enjoy
Inspection of Publishing Plant

The members of the Senior class
at Cony High school were the guests
Thursday morning at eight o'clock
of the management of the Gannett
Publishing Company of this city. The
class to the number of 105 were con-
Quoted through the large plant by
guides detailed for that purpose and
each phase of the work was describ-
ed in detail to them. To make the
trip more interesting and instructive
to them, each guide had a group of
about ten students thus giving all an
opportunity to ask questions about
the processes which are employed in
printing the Comfort Magazine and
in doing the job work that is done
in the job department. .
Each students was given a copy
of a humorous letter as souvenir of
the occasion. The letter invited
them to take over the plant. ask all
the questions they desired and TO
enjoy themselves as much as pos
sible, only cautioning them not to
carry off any presses as other WISH
tors are expected today. The entire
trip took about two hours and was
very pleasing to the members of the
class. many of whom thus saw for
the first time the many processes
which are necessary to print the
pages which they read so casually.

Courage. as one of the gems OF all
time, and one of the finest things OF
its kind that had ever been written.
Attentiyeness, application, and ac-
curacy were elements all beginning
with A, which the speaker used in
the next part Of his talk. Then tax

announced that he h4d used his col
lection of initial letters. The last
element he enlarged upon as mean
ing good citizenship. exercise of vot-

ing ones time to jury service when
called upon. and some familiarity
with the history of the country.

of the elements for getting on in

declared that it is the poor boy who
has the best chance or opportunity.
The boys gave three cheers at the

pleasure in the evenings program.

Editor Staples Main Speaker
Editor Staples in opening his talk
spoke intimately to the boys and
their hosts of his recent personal ex-
periences, and told them that he had
conceived the outline for his talk of
up in the Moosehead Lake region,
where the waters of the Seboomook
flow. He recalled a word of advice
which had been given to him by his
friend, Hugh PendeXter. celebrated
author of boys books, on the PROPOSE
ton of speaking before a group of
boys. This was never to talk down
to the boys, but rather to talk up to
them.
The speaker announced his subject
as Getting On in the World" and
said that he would take a group of
initial letters and enlarge upon each
one, presenting the elements neces-
sary for a boy or man to have or to
acquire to achieve success in life.
His first letter was A, which he
told his hearers stood for Aspiration.
"Have definite aim in life." Mr..
Staples advised the boys. Aim as
high as you can hit and no higher"
The next letter was NJ, which the
speaker said stood for Manners. He
declared that this was one of the
greatest single factors for achieve
ment of his entire collection. Man
ners cost nothing but little atten-
tive effort he told them, and recount
ed first hand instances Of failures at
the beginning, because this element
was lacking.
Z represented Energy or Educa-
ton, and the latter could not be pos
sible without the former. This char
acteristic was defined as force, will
lingness, determination and stick to-
it-iveness. "A pound of energy and
an ounce of talent will carry a boy or
man long ways, but a pound of tai
emit is worth nothing without the
driving force Of the pound Of energy"
he declared.
Right with big r as its initial let
ter was the next ingredient for sue
cess, which the speaker gave q place
in his Interestingly developed recipe.
"Tie to religion, to faith. to that
which is good"
I, the next letter, was for Industry
and Initiative. and Mr.. Staples be-
seeched his audience that It was the
element which prompted an individ-
ual to think about his job and en-
deavor to discover way of doing 1t
better.
C, the next letter was for Courage,
which he defined as confidence and
belief in ones ability. He referred
to-a speech by Sir James carrie on
