The Test

"It's the bumps you get and the jolts you get' And the shobks'that your courage stands, The hours of sorrow and vain regret, The prizes that escape your hands' That test your mettle and prove your worth; It isn't the blqws you deal, But the blows you talie on this good old earth That shows if your stuff is real."

"So does the modern girl; but she uses a different method."

Hoover On Success

Able administrators, skilled workers, professional and moral leaders, cannot be made by birthormoney. They cannot be selected by divine right or through bureaucracy' Nor can their ranks be filled froma limited class. Our leadership can be found and it will be sympathetic to our ideals if we maintain the decency and dignity of family life; if we maintain for every individual an equality of opportunity to attain that position in the community to which his character and his ability entitle him; if we maintain free and universal. education. Then our supply of leadership will stream forward on its own impulse.-Herbert }loover'

"No'm," said Aunt Lucy, "lessen hit was yo' pastor"'

Vision

A statue lies hid in a block of marble, and the art of the statuary only clears away the superfluous matter and removes the rubbish. The figure is in the stone; the sculptor only finds it. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul. The philosopher, the saint, the hero-the wise, the good or the great man-very often lies hid and concealed i4 a plebeian, which a proPer education might have disinterred and brought to light.
