(Continued from page four)
mental and physical training (with
all the restrictions) to make better
disciplined citizens.
One attribute which I find pre
valent in most schools is that the
majority is only interested in con
forming to the educating system.
One is guaranteed of two things if
the prescribed courses are taken
for graduation in a school: one is
a diploma, the other is—not to
have an education.
If the instructors are authorities
on the subject, I would think it
wise to get more than my money’s
worth from them. Anyone can con-
from to the system, but it takes
one with greater interest to chal
lenge the system and conform to it
at the same time. We have too
many conforming, especially to bad
habits, in the world today. Prob
ably bad habits are involved in the
60,000 new cases each year that
enter mental institutions, the 30,-
000 suicides and the one half mil
lion that pass through our courts
into jails each year.
One of the greatest handicaps to
progress for us (the younger gener
ation) is the bad habits of the older
generation. These habits tend to
be an iron curtain which we must
forge through in order to progress.
Our adopting these same habits and
conforming to them will hinder the
next. .
I think many would agree with
me that editorials are not neces
sarily to conform to the ideas of
the majority as one who was re
cently seeking editorship of THE
DAILY TAR HEEL put forth. So
for reading which will make some
think, keep the fine work up and
1 will be one of your regular
readers always.
