ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY
From Thursday Iallr
Mr. Dothit from the College of
Agriculture at the University of Ne
braska gave a very original and In
teresting lecture this morning at the
high school.
In his lecture he spoke of mistakes
made in planning your life's work.
Mr. Dothit said that most people
don't plan and fit themselves for a
job, but that they just take a job
whenever one is offered to them. He
believed a person should be inter
ested in a certain job, but they should
always be sure they have the ability
to fit in the work they are interested
in. When picking your job he said,
be sure and ask yourself whether you
want to work with people or things.
If you want to work with things
don't get a job as a teacher, and lt
you want to work with people don't
get a job as a forest ranger. In his
opinion a person should make the
things they are interested in and
their abilities to do certain things
fit together like two cogs.
In closing Mr. Dothit told of an
incident in his childhood days. One
day he saw a deg, which he liked
very much so he tied a string around
its neck and took it home with him.
Afterwards lt became sick and would
have died if his brother hadn't found
the string which he had tied around
its neck when he brought It home.
In the same way he said boys and
girls are tieing strings around their
necks by smoking, not eontroling
thI tesSP1 fcy stealing.

Saviour," by GladyB Bushcell and
