“THE CHILD IS FaTHER TO THE MaN."
It is but . ni.tural thing thi,
et this point in their high school
days, the Seniors should look bick
upon the p..st four years and try to
summarize that work which they have
done and the work which they hrye not
done. It is likewise naturi.l that they
should look chead, thet they should
t now to definitely lay plins for
the future, ond tht they should meke
Yinal preperations for entering that
field in which they desire to try their
luck.
However, although the minds of
Seniors ere filled with these recoll-
ections of the past and drecms of the
future, they ure wont to forget that
thet future which lies chead of them
is closely reluted to the past, to
those school duys when their churaucter
wes being molded by home environment,
contacts, und studies. They imagine
that though they have coasted through
their school days, they will be able
to assume duties bearing grect respons—
ibilities on the spur of the moment,
for almost every one fails to remember
Wordsworth's scying,"The child is fither
to the man."
Vol 1 Mumber 25, pe. 2]
This immortal poet, in uttering
this santenco, has proclaimed a state—
ment which ought to be memorized and
remembered by every boy and girl, for
it is a challenge to every boy and
girl to begin at an early age to dev-
elop himself and to mold his character
for the future. It is but cnother
way of saying that whutever traits :.
boy or girl hes in his childhood will
be outstanding in the future, thi.t
the shiftless child will lways be
indolent, that the industrious child
will alwcys seek lcbor, that the dull
child will forever be slow to «.ction,
and thet the alert child will forever
be in fronte
This is not meant to be discour-
aging to those who realize their weck-
nesses, for two reasons; (1) beccuse
no mean is expected to be perfect;
und (2) because we, in high schoo}
are both legelley cnd psychologic:.lly
udelescents «nd immture. We still
have several years to devote to the
broadening ef our chi.racter and to
the smoothing over of our rough points.
Vie crn still better ourselves through
cur environment, our conticts, and
our studies, but it is high time that
we do so, for the time approaches when
we shill be called upon to ussume
our respersibilities.
