Two men whose record of achieve- ment makes their expre: deserving of serious consideration spoke this week on subjeets of time- Iy interest. Principal Louis P. Slade of the high school discussed | the purpose of an education at the meetipe of the Lions club. 3.0, Gaffney of fhe court of p bate spoke at the meeting of Kiwanis club on character. Authorities tell us that two of the the life k- 0- causes of inereasing erime are desive (o enjoy the Tuxuries of without working for them and w ness of character. Edneation tea industry and industry makes good character. During his talk Principal Slade made it elear that the object of an education is not to permit the per- way, 1he, no signs proximity warning of the hes for er ny al than is consistent safely. Perhaps it a tendency to reduce “School ahead” signs Ty He sald: There dwells in the {mind of some, and has been there for many years, the idea that high school and college are institutions By which, through certain registra- tions and sessions, the young man or | young woman may a &elect group that will be free from the hewing of wood and the draw- ing of water and set apart for a life of freedom and leisure.” Tollowing this theme. Mr, Slade sald that this impression was a mistaken one, one knows better than he that indy try is necessary to the future pres- ervation of the country. Hundreds of hoys and girls have passed under his obs sehool he has done his impress upon them the need for wholesome view of life, Judge Gaffney emphasized I'statement: “The greatest thing you can do is to create an attitude of mind in youth for good, upright and honorable manhood and woman- liood." Herein is the secret of real success. As Judge Gaffney pointed out, “It is better to he honorable ve money."” ps youth is not to be too censured for its materialis- tic philosophy. It sces fathers striv ing from early {ill for the purpose of piling up a fortune, the while forgetting to enjoy the beau- ties of life that arc found every- where. They begin to believe that money is the real goal of living. I"ollowing this theory, they some- times forget honor in seeking to n that goal. Unless it impresses them with the knowledge that character is more to be desired than a material tortune, education will fail, Education should help them to appreciate the finer things of life and that power to ap- preciate will make their characters stronger. This is an age of “long shots. The day is gone wlen a man | might enter a business or sporting | proposition on the proverbial shoe- | string. | Witness the case of a local sport- ing organization which apparently was angered at the action of a player who rejected an offer to work a total of not more than 20 hours for $4,500. The same player has since contracted for his serv- NZ | jces at the rate of $7.500 for & Ve | season of 10 games and may re- ed | ceive a $500 honus.
