OUT into WORLD

recently made this statement: "It
does not make difference what a
boy studies as long as he does not
like it." DIR. Cowling said he was
in accord with Mr.. Rogers. The
mind must he held to the task in
hand there must be concentration; /;
the mind must be stored with facts.
DIR. Cowling deplored the atti-
tude of the average citizen on Inn
cisions, according to the Doctor,
portant public questions; their
decisions, according to the Doctor,
were peurile. He contenied it was
absolutely impossible for one to
think on subjects about which they
had no information. Mental dis
cipline and study is necessary. To
successfully think there must be a
continuous flow of ideas through
the mind. "Bigotry,". said the
Doctor, "is caused by lack of
ideas"
He deprecated the fact that the
young people of today were being
so severely criticized. During 20
years he has been president of
Carleton college he has had an
opportunity to study thousands of
young people who came under his
direct observation. His only criti-
cism of the young people of today
was that they had too little faith
in themselves.
The faultfnder, according to
Doctor Cowling, is a person young
or old who is conceited. He said
a person should be conscious of
ones strength in a modest way.
This attitude will cause others to
have confidence in them.
DIR. iCowling arraigned tn e
trouble-makers and scandal mong-
ers of the present day. He said
the Presidents of recent years had
been visciously lied about and
grossly misrepresented in their
every activity. He deprecated the
attacks that were being made upon
candidates of today, practically
all of whom were men of high
ideals, unquestioned integrity and
ample ability. 1t is an unhealthy
condition for the citizenship of this
great Republic to be in.
He urged the Glass to believe in
themselves and believe in people;
to work at something to which
they could give their very heart
and soul; have faith in people and
believe in God. Worry kills and
wrecks the lives of more people
than anything else in the world.
DIR. Cowling said real belief in
a personal God furnishes a source
of strength to the individual not
enjoyed by the unbeliever. The
big men of the country have always
been men who had sublime faith
in God. =
The big men of the country,
according to DR.. Cowling, haven't
more ability than the average
person, but they have the ability,
capacity and determination to do
tremendous amount of work.
With this line of action success is
sure to follow. Think, have ideals
and live up to them, have faith and
work hard and success will follow,
was the Doctors final advice to the
Glass;
After the singing of "Amaryllis"
by the Girls Glee Club, Supt. H. A.
Falk presented the Class to the
President of the Board of Educa-
tion, ]. F. Cooper. Mr.. Falk said
the main thought he desired to
leave with the Class was not to
delay putting into practice the
good advice given them by DIR.
Cowling. Mr.. Falk told the Glass
they would find people everywhere
who will be glad to assist them if
they make themselves worthy of
receiving assistance and encourage
ment.
President Cooper congratulated
the Class upon having reached this
stage in their education. He said
the School Board was proud of
them individually and collectively.
He urged them to take advantage
of all possibilities and not be afraid
of assuming responsibilities. He
called their attention to the fact
that the destiny of this great
