Don't Forget Your Tools
Ale ou teallv going somewhoie or aie
j on nieielv wandoimg waiting for life to
come out and get you'.' Have you set youi-
solf ;i goal or are you one ol the "1 haven't
decided jet" soil who 'i")on't know vvluve
they'io going but tliey'ie on tne way'.'".'
The most expeitencitl navigator on the
gieat giey sea would not put Ait without
his instruments and charts. Kven the idlest
of travelers does not take ttaiits without
I Hiding out whore they are going. An awchi
toot does not sit men to wink on a building
without detailed plans. It may not matter
to you now what will happen in that distant
Inline a thousand jeais Iiom today when
j on can no lotigei nraw sustenance fiom
your father's hand. Yes the steoisman
could go a ceitain pait of his distance light
without his chionotneter; a tiaveler could
stait out in the general dnection of the
place he wanted to find; the conti actor could
get the foundation almost light without
blueprints. Hut bejond that nothing would
bo accomplished. The steoisman the travel-
er and the contractor would find out for
themselves how utteily tenifying it is not
to know where one is going That feeling ol
standing alone in the midst of a gusty void
is hideous beyond description.
Set yourself a goal; decide what you aie
going to do with your life. It would be a
sad waste of opportunity if you let the yeais
continue to go by gone irrevocably gone
but unused l'esides you do the world an
injustice if you do not put just as much
of jourself into it as you possibly can. You
aie a fine splendid person and the lost ol
the world needs your help. You have a mis-
sion to fulfill a pint to play in that myste-
iiohs Plan and no one else can over till
jour place.
Kind out what jott can do best and what
makes j on happiest to do and do that.
Theie once was a gieat llutist wso lamented
i very dav of his life th.it lie was useless
to the wot Id. Pool little man not to know
what ioj he put into the lite ol eveijoito
who heaid htm. On the othei hand theie
is a negio woman oniplovod as maid of all
wotk by a t.imilv on South Tenth Stieet.
She ol leu sjivs without looking up fiom In i
work that she 'alwnvs knew a poison had
lo be beautiful or clever in good and so she
knew she had to be good." Another saying
of hois is 'Kv'y little bit counts." In her
simple dow ii-to-the-biowu-t aith way she u
happier than that talented musician who
never saw the good he did in the woild.
Step out heie and show what jou can
do. You can do a good deal jou know with
all those undiscovered talents of jours and
jour nice peisonality and all the good quali-
ties you have hoarded and hidden for so
long. Stait sotnewheie and keep the couise;
you'll be surprised at how big you'll lw in
the end.

I' not whv not now? If so ti.v
doing so agam at the piesent
time foi there's an ait of L'oing
tl lough iliad wuk and few em-
ploy the same methods.
1 hcio aie those few who stall
with the tlist day of Dead Week
bv Hamming e.uh inoinmg aftei-
noon and night. Thej t.uefully ex-
amine tath won! ol their lictuic-
notes eveij toinet of then text
book goes tluough a thoiough ex-
amination and the instiuctor ot
taoh tlass is put tluough a thin!
digue c o n c fining eveijthing
about anjthin-. Iltgmning with
Head Week's Monday they stait
w oi king up to a high ilass fienzj
and by the daj of the final they
are slightly delirious
Composing the most exclusive
seition of these little brain waves
whose impoitance just begins with
D. W. Not once do they ciack a
book it's against then policy to
do so. Their expressions graduate
fon- the slightly supeiior look of
man over duty dnt on Monday
to the highly disdainful state-thru-ou-cause-thcie's-nothing
- where-jou'ic-standing
look. The fatt that
then final mndes arc slightly low-
er makis no diffeience to them.
Thej git to take anothei one just
like it next semestei
The majonty of students alt
divided In tw een two moie ilasses:
In the fust gioup aie those who
stmt woiiving about exams the
fust tf I) W. Thiv whip up into
a lovih neivous flutter and at
its ihmax the night before the
exam thiv nallx stait studjing.
llii tngv begins immedmtily aft-
ei suppei and lasts until just be-
fou the tx.im
In the st i ond tlivision tontiins
the must envi.ililf 'roui They
aie chiei fully oblivious to the fact
that thej have any exams at all
to take. They float thiough the
vjeek bifoie tists begin the most
larcfiee humans in the woild.
Thin the night befoie the Gieat
Oideal they come thiouLh with
the very highest grade of cram-
olcgy. They go after knowledge
like a man lost m a desert foi
several dajs would go after water
Of he lould go at all). Then one
week after Dead Week ends they
fall in bed intending to rise in a
couple of houis to have a date!
However different all these
Kioups may be they all have one
thing m common and that is joy
afltr it's all over.
