WHAT LIFE IS WITHOUT
AN EDUCATION
A life without an education is
what 1 would call a failure, but
sometimes people get by that have
an education. The ones that do get
by khough are just uicky and as
the old saying gees, they just got
by. by the “ kin of: their t eh.”
There are some people who have
some education, and by taking in
all they hear from educated people,
they will finally get a fairly good
education. The men and women
to-day who have no education what
ever, have no positions, (or at
least not many of them), but if you
Lave some education and try to
b urn more, by taking the advice of
educated people, you can usually
find some kind of a job that you are
capable of holding. But always
remember that the ones who have
sx good education will .always get
the best positions in life. For the
world today is calling for educated
men and women everywhere.
Now, l hope that these things
will show you the importance of
having an education and also the
advantages that the well educated
man has over the uneducated. Let’s
■every one make the most of our op
portunities and try to get an edu
cation . For you can imagine what
a dull, uninteresting life you will
load without an education.

WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE
PATIENCE
Do you know what it means to
have patience? You have probably
never thought what it. is to be pa
tient.
But let us take for example one
of our studies. Perhaps it is very
difficult and you do not like to study
it, and if you are impatient you will
just drop it and say, “Oh! wed, I
can't leiun this, and, any way, it
wont ever do me any good. But
if you take the boy or girl that has
the thing that we need so much in
life—that is Patience, he will take
this subject, study at out and learn
it So you can see the difference
between anyone that is Impatient
and the ore that is Patient.
iso listen, friends! Never go
through life, being impatient, hut
always have the patience that you
should have; and try to remember
the old saying, “If at first you
don’t succeed, try, try again.” *

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
The spirit off Christmas is in
the air, a thing that can hardly be
expressed; yet we know that it is
here, there and everywhere around
us. We know that it is the spirit
of Christmas that makes us greet
every one with a “nr.fcry Christmas
.nd “The sane to you.”
The Christmas spirit causes us
,o forget the harsh cares of every
day and makes us glad that God
has spared our lives ;>*id lot us live
through another Christmas.
When you see anyone on Christ
mas day wno looks as if they nevei
smiled, and had a grouch at the
whole world, did you stop and think
that ho had the Christmas spirit?
Why, certainly not. So on Christ
mas day smile and be happy and
you’ll make someone else happy
too T* Then people will say of you,
“He has the proper kind of Christ
mas spirit. ”
Try making someone else have
a merry Christmas, and see how
much better and happier you’ll fee 1 ,
(t isn’t the size of the gift that
counts, for, “It’s not what we give
but what we share that counts. ’

MEN MAKE NATIONS
Why is the U. S. one of the
greatest nations of the world today?
It being only a young nation com
pared with the other nations of the
world, it being one hundred forty
eight years since the Declaration of
Independence was signed.
Why did the nation prosper so in
early years? Because it was pro
vided with able leaders of the time,
such as Washington, Lincoln and
Hamilton. These men set an exam
ple that has come down to us thru
history. This example the people
have carried with them. Let each
one of us be a true citizen and let
us prepare ourselves to take th*
place of our forefathers. Let us
not only start out in life for our
own selfish ber.eiiis, tut for the
benefit of our country. We think
of the many advantages that we
have that the men who lives a few
years ago did not have. Look at
the great change that has taken
place in the course of a few years;
the many conveniences we have
that our forefathers never enjoyed.
We all should make the most of
our opportunities and advantages
and make our lives really worth
while. '• • Wf|fl

SELF-EXPRESSION
Have you a mind of your own?
What 1 mean is, do you use your
mind? Or do you merely take some
one else’s ideas and use them, nev
er having any opinions of your own?
Self expression is everyone’s
right, and it is up to us to see that
we get it for ourselves, as well as
help others to find it. In either case
our aim should be to turn it in tA>
the best and noblest channels.
Always speak for yourself. Don’t
agree to something you are opposed
to simply because you think every
one else agrees to it. Never follow
the crowd” if the “crowd’ is doing
just the opposite of what you want
to do.
Express yourself; let your ideas
THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR. DANIEL3VILLE. CA.
he known. Realize that all devel
oped personalities have many modes
of self expression and that you may
not be able to agree with your
friends in ail their ideas.
All of us have our own opinions.
Let us stick to them—until we know
that we ‘ire in the wrong. Don t
give up your opinion for the sake
of being with the majority.
There seems a reticence with
i some of us about stating what we
| think about certain things. When
it comes right down to the point
There are very few of us who have
the courage to say what we think.
Expressing b.n opinion to yourself
or your family about things, im
portant things, that come up out
side of your home life, does no
good if you don’t have the courage
to give that opinion when and
where it should be given.
If you agree with everything
anybody else says your mind will
become stale. Develop your mind
by thinking and then expressing
your thougts. For truly Self-Ex
pression broadens the mind.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
When the Edittor-in-chief of this
paper asked me to contribute an
article for the December number and
followed it up with the suggestion
that I write something about the
coming Christmas holidays, the first
thing tha‘. occurred to me, was that
I make an effort to express my ap
preciation of the privilege, which
has been mine during the past four
months, of being associated and
working with such a splendid bunch
of boys and girls and such a capa
ble and amiable corps of teachers,
my hope: that this time has be n
profitably used; and my earnest de
sire: that everyone be rewarded for
their hard word by the benignant
“Santa” with a most mery “Merry
Christmas. ”
No one believes more firmly than
I in the old adage, “work while you
work and play while you play ”
Let us then lay aside, forget our
work and worries, as we celebrate
with due reverence, and a proper
appreciation of the real meaning
and significance of the day on which
Christ was born, the incalculable
effect of his coming on the destinies
of the nations of the earth as well
as the lives of individuals.
Let us also make every effort to
eret the most possible enjoyment out
(if the holidays which follow; re
membering always that nothing
eives so much real pleasure as the
knowledge that you have contribut
ed to the happiaoss of others, Fo
that we may come back to our
task refreshed, eager to take hold
of the New Year’s work and go the
limit.
“Merry Christmas to all.”
—Hope P. Davis
