Tho last number will bo rondorod by
tho olass. Let ovoryono proparo to
praiso, not criticise. Tho members of
tho class will do thoir best anyone
should bo commoudod for doing that.
Ono member of tho class recently
said: "I am going to do my own work.
don't want peoplo to say someone
did it for me." Evoryono in tho class
fools thus. Tho only part toachors
aro going to play is to oliminato gram
matical errors and errors in thought,
and to mako suggestions in arrange
ment, etc. If a toaohor happons to
havo a fow Ideas that aro now or origi
nal ho would bo loath to part with
them without duo credit. So, rest
assured, tho productions of tho olass
will bo as nearly original as high
school pupils with very limited means
in tho way of references can make
them.
Poor seniors! You toachors pity
you. In ono respect they aro privi
leged characters they don't havo to
give orations. If they did, I wonder If
tho peoplo would listen to them as
cheerfully as thoy do to you?
It is a common fallacy that only wo
older ones havo troubles and griev
ances. Pupils havo theirs as woll as
we. Only last May a York high
school pupil committed suicide bo
cause of school troubles. Tho little

stranger comes, and who never bo
comes tired, no matter upon how
many errauds ho may bo sent, has
trials that are, in proportion, as great
as ours.

Doubtless somo patrons of tho
schools do not know why tho course
of study committeo docided to discon
tinue tho pructlco of choosing 11 singlo
valedictorian. Tho reasons aro very
evident and reasonable. Grades, at
best, aro not accurate and cannot bo
so. no matter how much care toachors
not bo justified in olforing an induce
ment. Is thoro auyono who wishes his son
or daughter to dovolop tho spirit of
arrogancoV Do wo admiro tho ono
who either atlirms or assumes that he
is better than another, intellectually,
morally, or in any respect? Do wo
not rather admiro tho ono who uncon
sciously possesses real worth? Tho
Ideal valedictorian would bo ho who,
when offorod a reward, would request
that it bo given his brother. If there
is any ono quality that our schools
ought not to breed, it is arrogance.
