Our Education
GOD educates men by easting them
upon their own resources. Man
learns to swim by being tossed into
life’s maelstrom and left to make his
way ashore. No youth can learn to sail
his lifc-eraft in a lake sequestered and
sheltered from all storms, where other
vessels never come.
Skill comes through sailing one’s
craft amidst rocks and bars and oppos
ing fleets, amidst storms and whirls and
counter-currents. Responsibility alone
drives man to toil and brings out his
best gifts. —Newell Dwight Hillii.

S?enjs:
It Seldom Happens
The best news a pessimist can
hear is the coming true of one of
his predictions.
When you feel sour and cross,
look at yourself in the mirror.
That ought to be a cure.
Dictatorship may do something
for democracy yet—through the
reaction that results from them.
Distinctive Difference
Great minds run in the same
channel. But a channel is not a
rut.
Always behave so discreetly
that you will not regret putting
your name in your hat.
Even if a man isn’t well up in
the social scale, he dislikes being
cut by his barber.
A mother can start her son in
his infancy to like her cooking,
but a bride has not that ad
vantage with her husband.
