Show I EDUCATION Education is one thing that is nec- essary in the lives of all persons. A nation cannot prosper of its people are not educated. In the early years of this earth the people had no idea of education. Their methods of doing things were crude. Time was wasted and the energy of the people was wasted. Later, as civilization advanced, advanc-ed, came the need for leaders. The leaders had to have an education to make their people prosperous. As time advanced the people developed schols where the boys were educated. Still later came the co-education school. More and more the idea of. an education developed until now the person who it not educated is a back number. Some people have the idea that an education is not necessary to get a good position. Well,- if you want to spend your life "digging ditches" you, most certainly, don't need an education, because even the most ignorant ig-norant person, if he is given a shovel, can dig a hole. Don't let yourself get the ilea that you don't need" an education, because you do. Don't be a back number. Make something of yourself. Students don't realize how they are' wasting time in their school life until they are about ready to be graduated, then, as they look back over their years of schooling they begin to wonder won-der how they eveir "passed" arid to see lost opportunities. Education will get one farther than anything else. Don't waste your time, Freshmen, take the advice of a Senior and study to, get the most out of your school. You, don't have to give up your pleasure; you can study and still have time for pleasure. Olive Johnson. |
