THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY:
'.To live in the presence of
great truths and eternal laws
this is what keeps a man
patient when the world ig-
nores him and calm and un
spoiled when the world
praises him - Balzac.
p r E p A r A T ION S
FOR FIRST CLASS CITIZEN
SHIP Important in our
preparations to take advantage
of the opportunities and privi-
leges guaranteed to every
American Citizen is CULTI-
VATION OF A TRUE SENSE
OF VALUES - We must learn
to estimate people, not for
what they possess, but for
what THEY ARE - we must
learn that the glorification of
money and the display of
wealth can be essentially vul-
gar - that the truly we'll
bred man or woman has SIM
pie tastes and fine discrimina-
ton. To have a sense of
TRUE VALUE in people, we
must learn to judge them, not
by their bank accounts or their
ancestors, but by their OWN
WORTH. A true sense of val
ues will teach us to have
good-humOred tolerance of
others. 1t will teach us to be
in sympathy with whatever So
ciety we are mingling - to
look for beauty everywhere.
In our preparations to take
our places as First Glass Citi-
zens, let US remember that
'There is at least one fine
and admirable quality in
EVERY PERSON, no matter
what their RACE, CREED or
RELIGION it is our job
