Study With A Purpose

A T this time of year. when students have
"a now begun the 1889 school year, at
both high schools and colleges, we think
word is in order for them. Even if this edi-
torial is read by only one.student, we think
it is worth while writing it.
OF course, nothing is so free as advice,
and vet advice is about all that an older
person can give a boy or a girl. AS a result,
every individual, when given the slightest
excuse comes forth with words Of advice.
The students of the high schools and col
leges of our country live in an era which
will challenge their intelligence as they at
tempt to express ideals in actual life. They
are confronted with perhaps the greatest
menace which has ever confronted our
country. and they may have to solve prob
lens which are far more complex than any
which have so far faced this young Re
public.
The fact that we. since our Independence
have successfully maintained this indepen-
dence as far as external aggression is con-
cerned - does not automatically solve the
problems that confront the new generation
1t is not for an editor, in an editorial, to
outline an easy solution to these problems,
or paint a rosy picture for the generation

Story of Alexander Selkirk

v =
RECORDED history has way OF playing
- tricks on actual history and one Of the
best examples of this we have seen in re-
cent years was recently illustrated by Grit
d national weekly newspaper The story
concerned Alexander Selkirk, who certainly
had storybook experience in 1704 on a
lonely Pacific island.
1t seems that Alexander Selkirk. after
an argument with the captain Of his British
vessel told the captain he could leave him
behind on the lonely island Of Juan Fern
andez The island is about 800 miles west
of Chile in the Pacific ocean
Although he changed his mind and beg
ged the captain to take him along after all,
the captain refused, and Alexander was
left on the island in 1904. There were no hu-
mans on the island, and he had to learn
how to find his own food, construct shelf
err and manage to fight off rats, storms
and loneliness For over four wears he
survived and finally, in 1909, two British
ships anchored off the island and rescued
him. 1t took him two weeks to learn to
speak English clearly again, so long had it
been since he had been able to converse with
another human being
The most interesting part of this story
is that this experience was the basis of the
novel Robinson Crusoe," and the irony Of
this story is that the fictional character,
Robinson Crusoe, is today famous, while
Selkirk, who actually survived the ordeal
and lived out a fantastic experience, Is
practically forgotten Such is fate

Babs0n Discusses Africa

Ba son Park. Mass. Oct. 2.
When you read this column l ex-
pect to be on the high seas head
ing for Africa You probably think
this is a foolish thing for me to
do. but following are some good
reasons. In view of what l have
said in these columns about gold,
copper, uranium, oil, wool. and
other metals, l am determined now
to get first-hand facts. After so do
ing l will either correct my state
ments or confirm them through
these columns. Africa is the best
place to obtain such definite in
formation today.
Outlook For Gold
l have made reference in these
columns to initiation and to invest
ment in gold stocks at this time.
If we enter into real initiation, gold
stocks will go up. They have al
ready made advances: but if this
country changes the price Of gold.
these stocks should go up much
more AS U. S. laws forbid the
purchase or sale of gold within this
country as commodity. investors
are confined to buying the stock
Of gold mines. A few of these are
in the United States. but most OF
our mines are fairly well worked
out. Wise investors in gold stocks
on this continent are combining
themselves to Canadian mines with
a long life.
When studying the statistics on
gold I find that over one half of
the Free Worlds gold comes from
Africa. This gold is mostly from
mines which are little heard of in
this country. Certainly do no in

coming along.
On the other hand, we think that those
students in the United States today come
along in great era, when their country is
the leading country Of the world, and when
the challenge they face is tremendous one.
We have plentiful resources, live in a coun-
try with plenty, and an era when opportu-
mites are great for all young people.
The one suggestion we would seriously
make, as far as serious advice is concerned
in a specific way is that enlightened young
men and women must have a purpose in
life 1t has been apparent to the wise men Of
the ages that the intelligent graduate Of
college, or high school in the application Of
training and experience to the issues that
will confront him. must have fixed and
guiding purpose in his mind and heart - if
he is to get out Of life part Of that which is
available to him.
Therefore, every student should give
some of his time to seriously thinking about
the Divine plan of our universe and the
values Of life which seem to be universal
and eternal. Without some purpose. some
course, even the sturdiest ship is reduced
to a SHAMELESS
