liiindreds of Perquimana boys and
v irl went to.. school this week, -some
, -. stacking out for the first time, timid
. little beginners, with book, pencil,
"; tablet, that paraphernalia so dear to
the hearts of .the - little first grade
.. .folks,' clutched .tightly m nervous
' t fingera; ethers going back to take

$ we look into the bright, eager
faces of these young - people . and
. - catch a vision of the potential great
ness of their lives, of what they
tody mean to the world, and as we
. reflect ' on 'the-, far-reaching " effect
.thai failure may mean in the lives
ot these boys and girls,' the impor
tance of -right training for the young
' people impresses ua anew,
l,.So much time and effort is spent
, m framing we youu, ana sometimes
one wonders if the . young people,
many of them,: realise what it is all
about. Do they know why they are
being sent to school, why aH this
time and effort and money is e
vended to keep them In schools and
. to ieend them to college? 'Do these
young folks realise that, after all, it
is but to prepare them to live better,
fuller, more useful lives T
'j In a word, do they understand?
The Wise Man said "Get wisdom,
$ut with all thy getting get-under
' Randhur.
' Who can teach them as to the real
- Values of life? Who can make them
Itnderet&nd that , in the words of the
poet, "Not enjoyment and not sor-
4ow is our destined end or way, but
jo act that each' tomorrow finds us
better than today"?
i!? Preaching won't get that across
It takes living example to do it
if We may spend all the money in
vthe world on school buildings and
."equipment, and we may employ the
-tnost learned teachers on earth, and
-send our children to school for years,
nut when jt comes to getting across
to. them true understanding of the
.values of life, it has to be done
through the lives of men and women,
3 , And sometimes, in s the words of
another, our actions speak In tones
ffrn loud that it is difficult to hear
what we say. ?-' ' ' ,
