(Mavis Walker) When your teacher, mother, father, or employer gives you a message to deliver, don’’t chuck it into the near est waste basket, and go off to the movies. Carry the message to the person it is intended for and return to the place from which you started. Do you, when a task is assigned, ask any one of the following questions? Why do you want it done? Where shall I look for it? Can’t Billy do it? Why don’t you do it yourself? If you do this, stop and think about the famous men who have gone before you and how they carried their orders. In Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade,” even though the soldiers knew they were going to certain death, they carried out the orders im mediately and faithfully. In “Captain Madeline,” by Du Bois, a certain man had a message to carry for his govern ment and while the Indians were at tacking him and his son, he thought only of the message. His son took the message from him after he had been killed and it finally reached its destination. Think for a minute of the brave Rowan. It was during the Spanish- American War and President McKin ley* had to get in touch with Garcia, the leader of the Cuban rebels. Rowan was sent for and commanded to de liver a message to Garcia. He took the message, and without asking any fool ish questions as to why he should go, he started out. He landed off the coast of Cuba at night and entered the jungle. He searched till he found Garcia and delivered the message. Perhaps some of the pupils in Junior High could take “a message to Gar cia.’’ If everyone tried very hard I think we all might be able to do so. Plan To Visit New York and Washington This Summer (Helen McBee) Earl Carter is going to New York this -summer after school is out about May 30.
