VOICE-PIANO RECITAL
GIVEN BY MISS DUNN
What is tho aim of education? That question has been asked and an
attempt has been made to 'answer it throughout thd ages. At ono time in
tho history of education tho emphasis was placed on tho idea that an educa-
tion1 is for the purpose of preparing boys and girls to "mako a living." At
anothertimo it was thought that an education was for tho primary purpose
of training individuals to be intellectually strong
What is tho modern idea? It is that which bids fair to revolutionize
our educational procedure and idea that has ever been present in tho minds
of educators but which has only recently forged to the tront as aro possible
' panacea of our social and economical ill?. Wo have at last como to realize
that education is for thtf purpose of teaching boys and girls to live with
their follow travellers from time to eternity. That means that where the
emphasis has formerly been placed on content and classroom method it
must now bo placed on CHARACTER building and "socialized" activities.
Is is going to bo worth anything to an individual to bo ablo to extract
square root if ho does not know how to associate in the proper way with
his fellow beings? The so-called honor student is to be commended tor his
excellent work in his studies. His grades aro worth nothing to him unless
(he has acquired that broader and moro worthwhile education which has
.fitted him to tako his place as a worthy member of society contributing to
tho solution of tho problems which confront the community of which ho
is a member.
It is interesting to note how many or how FEW courses are offered
in our colleges and teacher training institutions in Character Education or
related subjects. Some very worth while steps aro being token in that field
in some of our leading universities. It would bo well tor the smaller col-
leges that turn out tho vast majority of our teachers to begin to place the
uujiuuais nuciu ii uciuuga iu una grcui responsibility 01 training U10SO wno
arc to direct the destiny of tho public schools of America.

COLLEGE STUDENTS LAZY
'"1 -r
Tho following which appeared in tho January issue of the "Success"
magazine gives something ol tho light in which some people hold the col-
lege graduate. It would not bo worth a passing notice were it not in some
measure justified by the indifferent casual attcntivenoss which some pol-
lego students' give to their work especially to their work in school. Habits
formed in school are generally continued.
This pronouncement against college men is said to como from a promi-
nent business man of the ast and follows:
"Why I would not hire a college man:
1. Because of their laziness irregular hours desire for much time off
vand.theirca.sual aUitudo towai'd their itork; f
2."BeawVfrf:tJieir naiveVnotions about business or their drejudioea

they lived on. their lather s money or mulled uu;ir.-way or went into debt
4. Because of their ingrained notion that they are of a different breed
and therefore should bo treated differently from the non college workers.
" 5. Because of their lack of ability to think tq mako reasoned and prac-
tical deductions.
6. Because of their pleasure-loving habits fostered at college which
seriously interfere with their tackling a job in an earnest manner.
7 Because of their unwillingness to start to work at a salary that they
are worth.
Because of their tendency to leave as soon as a little more money is
offered them; in other words because of no cense of apprenticeship ana of
growth by degree on merit."
t While this particular business man has some wrong ideas of college
men in general at least some college students and at times it seems a very
large percentage of them conform pretty much to the above. Texas Teen

PEACE
All the world is in search of peace. Every heart that has beaten since
the dawn of creation has sought for peace. Some have endeavored to find
it bv means of riches others by social distinction and still others by poli
tical prominence and other avenues AD INFINITUM Even so that cry
embodying the desire of nations to which all their other great desires are
subordinated is "Peace." Some are trying to obtain it by means of disarm-
ament others by armament which they call protection and some of the
weakest by being so weak and helpless that the stronger nations will con-
sider it a moral duty not to make war upon them.
Then wild has found peace? Of those who havo tried to buy eace
only a few have been able to secure the riches they thought to us in so
doing. These few then have had their miseries continued toy others lollow-
ing in their footsteps. He who has sought peace by means of social distinc-
tion whether he has gained an entrance to some royal circle and is fearful
that he will fall out or-is still trying to enter has not found peace. Political
' nrominence has not broucht peace to any man of any age. On the contrary
it has left conspiracy destruction murder and worse than murder in its
wake; and the world over die story is shortened to this proverb: "Uneasy
lies the head that wears the crown." Neither can the weak nation be cer
tain that its rights will not be trampled under or tho powerful nation that is
will not be attacked simultaneously by foea in number. Who then has
" found peace? 4
The Creator in His infinite wisdom did not make peace depend upop
power authority social distinction political jrominence or riches but
' made it the recompense of a conscience void of offence toward God and
man. Peace then is as easily within the reach of the weakeset poorest hum-
blest individual as within that of the most powerful of nations. It is here
and here only1 that we find when peace like a dove will hover over and
instill within humanity that tranquility of mind diat will make ua brothers
everyone.
The reason why peace has not been found and war strife and care
unknown to-day is that man has endeavored to set up his own standard by
which it was to be obtained. Science has taught man so many things that
he is tempted to think thai he knows everything and to forgej that the tin-
known extends so far beyond the known that in comparison ho knows nodi-
inf. and that the little that he does know should increase his reverence
instead of his egotism It is imperative Uiat the first step toward arriving
at pce be the relegation ol man to 1m proper sphere.
The sext step naturally is to remove the causes of rivalry and antagon-
ists prominent among wjiicli is the idea of vindication. MillioM believe
that vwdkation k an important element of lienor. Thus it is said to have
bem written oh the moment of a 6d-calld hero that he had repaid both
friA bu1 fo more than was their due.
But it does not lie in man to dirsct hk step and he is forced to tuna
te a iWNt hifkif than his own for guidance. When the Prince of Peace
i f LmL Md dwlld amoHK mm He one took occasion to reprimand
-' tw H m?W bwauM lby had disputed m to who would be the great
