"It was the thought of Joe Phillips to give our youth; the benefit of careful iraining_during’ their early years. He knew. that unless correct habits of thought are formed at the very outset of life they are not formed at all. Two great tests in mental discipline are ac- curacy and honesty. It is far better to master a few subjects thoroughly than to have a mass of generalizations about many subjects. The world will havé little use for those who are right only a part of the time, Whatever may be ‘he standards of the classroom, practical life will require something more than 60 per cent or 70 per cent for & passing mark. High Standard Set. “The standards of the world are not like those set by the faculty, but more closely resemble hose set by the student body themselves. They are not at all content with a member of the musical organizations who can_strike only 90 per cent of the notes. They do not tol- erate the man on the diamond who catches only 80 per cent of the balls. The standards which the student body set are high. They want accuracy that is well nigh complete. They apply the pe standards to candor and honesty. Bluff and pretense may be permitted in the classroom, but in their relations with each other students regard such practices with contempt and those who Fesort to them are properly considered to be cheap. They may be willing to view with considerable tolerance those who break the rules of the school, but ‘hey will not fail to mete out condemna- tion and penalty on those who break the rules of training. When the world | holds its examinations it will require the same standards of accuracy and honesty which student bodies impose upon themselves. Unless the mind is brought under such training and disci- pline will enable it to acquire thesc standards at an early period, the grave danger increases that they may never be acquired. “It is for this reason that our second- ary schools are of such great importance When students now enter college they are no longer of an impressionable age.
