ASSEMBLY WEDNESDaY MORNING;
Tal CONCERNS EDUC.TION
Wednesday morning in a joint as-
sembly at 10:00 otclock, the main speak-
er was Miss Helen Hay Hyle of the State
Education Department.
Miss Hyle outlined the three daily
essentials in the accomplishment of
happiness, as outlined by slice Freeman
Palmer; learn something new each day,
look upon something beautiful each day,
and do something for someone each day.
She also said that we should try to
have g better understanding of people
and also our parents. A tolerant under~
standing of people is important because
it is the knowledge behind this present
state in society.
Miss Hyle outlined the various
kinds of schools in the state and the
subjects that they teach by giving exam-
ples of the life of the students. In
conclusion, she asked this question, "as
you look back upon your high school
work, what is the most important thing
that you have learned?"

protty good. Last Tuesday, they mot
defeat at the hands of albany Business

of sloppy playing.

CONCERNING THIS PAGE
Last week, the editorial page in
the Crimson and White carried two edi-
toricls concerning education. This week,
there are two others, which «attack the
subject from a different angle. One of
these two editorials was written by two
of the staff for the Capital District
Scholastic Press association convention
in Sharon Springs lust weeke The other
is written from a statement made by une
of the speekers at that convention.
We are not quite sure why we have
run this series of editorials in the
last two weeks unless it is because we
heave just re.lized that there are just
thirty-four school days left before
graduation, not countin; today. That
mesus there are just twenty-nine days to
the beginning of Regents' week.
Thus, you see that there is very
little time left in school and every
little thing has a greater value than it
may seem to have at first glance.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Do well in your studies, for there
are only thirty more days until Regents?

MORE THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION
4t the recent press convention in
Sharon Springs, Professor Bristow Adams
of Cornell University made the following
statement; "The world stands aside for
the man who knows whither he is going."
There is a lot of truth in that state-
ment and also a lot of good advice.
The only way to find out where you
are going is through education. By
studying in school, by not fooling a-
round and wasting much veluable time,
one can start in his life work almost
immediately instead of having to hang
around while trying to decide what to
do.
More and more young people are go-
ing places in this world today because
they know where they are going. Politi-
cians, lawyers, business men, doctors,
and many other types of professions and
businesses have young blood in them,
And do you think that those young suc-
cessful men wasted their time while in
school? Not at alli They studied, they
worked hard, they began when they were
young to prepare themselves for what
they are now doing. In order to succeed
in the world today, it is necessary to
start young. Jobs are comparatively
scurce in proportion to the number of
applicants. The best prepared will suc-
ceed and the others will be out of luck.
Therefore, if you have any idea of
success, please don't loaf through your
high school yearse While four years may
seem like a long time, when you look
back upon them, thoy are very short.
So, start working now toward a goal in
life and attain that goal. Then set a
new goal, one which will require more
striving until at last you reach the
top. Remember--if you don't know where
you ure going or whct you are going to
do by the time you graduate your chances
are very slim of ever getting anywhere.

Mre Smith, whem in Maryville High,
was editor of the school newspaper, and
as such was called on the carpet for one
of his editorials, Now, however, he is
columnist for the New York World-Tologram
and his cod@um is syndicated by two hun-
dred other newspapers.
Why is he so successful? Mainly
beoause he has built himself o firm
foundation of education and has a will
to succoed. He met drawbacks and still
went on toward his goal.
"Moryville" today offers its stu-
dents oven better educational advantages
