DEMOCRACY
BY STAN DOUOLASS
Demorocy Is not selfoperating
It must be won by each generation
Its existence cannot be token for
granted It needs constant attention
scheming competitors In the world
today Its power to survive depends
on tho capacity to control and
manage It with efficiency
When men are strong their de-
mocracy Is strong When they are
reeady to suffer and die not only
to their Jobs and their fortunes
but also for the democratic ideal
as a system of government democ
cracy has a lightning efficiency
Often men consider their duty
has ended when they cast a
ballot or pay taxes Too often men
have looked to the government only
for personal benefits Many times
they have lacked the moral courage
to make sacrifices of time and
energy which alone can give great
ttrength to any system of govern-
ment
Democracy today needs contri
butions of time and effort It needs
thebest in brains energy char-
acter courage imagination and
religious devotion tWUllam Douglas
avs of democracy Democracy Is
like a clock It runs down unless
each generation keeps It wound up
COCIUCE
BY CAROLYN PRICK
Courage Is a word often used to
describe acts or deeds done by
Individuals The word courage
belt means a human quality which
keeps one going in the face of
danger I wonder If tho word
courage is used too freely Many
times this word courage is used to
describe deeds Which should really
come under tho hooding of stu-
pidity Two words for opart yet
closely connected Let me explain
this lost sentence Often people
will do things without considering
the effects A deed considered
heroic might be done by a person
who by not thinking blunders Into
n situation and comes out a hero
Tf this some person would stop to
think Just a moment he might be
twice as effective and use half as
much time I admit there are times
hen one cannot stop to think
but must act Immediately These
cases are few and can be called
heroic Yet we use this word
courage too often and at the wrong
time
mOCKASTINATION
BY GILBERT FORREST
Procrastination is the thief of
time according to the old proverb
and It Is quite true For lnstsnce
when I was asked to write this
essay I thought Why hurry I
hove plenty ot time But the time
came to have It finished sooner
than I had anticipated and thus
it was I struck upon the subject
of JProcrastlnatlon
People often soy Why put off
until tomorrow what you can do
today Procrastlonatlon Is deci-
dedly on undesirable trait because
a person who procrastinates Is not
likely to be prepared for any un
expected situation which may occur
STILL A COLT
BY ROSE MARIE MILLER
Railroads have contributed
greatly to the growth and strength
of America The history of our na
tion Is also the history ot rail
roading
I The real growth ot Industry In
this country began when locomo-
tives first pulled cars on tracks
Jn the year 1M0 The Iron horse
proved that transporatlon by rait
was faster more economical more
dependable
Railroads have demonstrated
their IndlspenslbUlty ia peace and
wsv
In war they moved more than
CO per cent of all wt frelghi and
97 per cent of organised military
travel Today In peace they haul
mam tons of freight mora miles
than any other form of trans-
portation Tho Iron Home Is still
A Colt and will do Mggef and
better things in the future

MOVINO FROM
SCHOOL TO SCHOOL
BY MARALYN VAN POSEY
It has been decreed that in order
to keep up with my parents I
must change schools often
Changing schools during the
school term has Its unavoidable
disadvantages It is more noticeable
upon moving from one stato to
another where the school curri-
culum Is likely to be quite different
In Instances where one must change
subjects credit Is lost
Though people are by nature
about the same everywhere one
will find striking and interesting
differences Especially Is this true
in schools where different national-
ities attend Because of this class
association ones viewpoint Is
broadened his sympathies are en-
larged and he feels a near kinship
to all peoples
If It Is true that one becomes
n part ot all he comes In contsct
with then one should become a
most Interesting person He has
the opportunity to meet more In-
teresting people see more ex
citing things by changing schools
often
HAPPINESS
BY OLENNA MORRIS
Happiness Is defined In the
dictionary as Joy satisfaction or
the state of being happy I suppose
It Is all of these things but there
Is a more complete meaning I
believe It Is tho reward of goodness
I have never yet seen a person
who has found true happiness or
satisfaction In hurting someone
else I do not think It Is possible
When you have done a task which
Is helpful either to yourself or
someone else dont you have
satisfaction
Happiness is searched for day
after day by greedy generous
mean and many other kinds ot
people I truly agree that nature
has granted us to be happy If
we did not know how to use her
benefits
If we do know how to find
happiness we are winners but If
we find It and do not know how
to use It we are losers You must
be willing however to give a
hare of It to others before It will
be given unto you When you have
done this you will find what It
really means to be happy
DESTINYS DREAM
BY SANDRA WILKINSON
WAR Like a dark cloui hovers
oer a clear horizon this word
surrounds the people of every na-
tion in tho world today
Those who have seen wars work
cringe as the hideous sound Is
uttered
They pity the poor fool who
crfesWar is the only rosd to
eternal peace for they know They
have felt Its blow and are aware
that It is only a dark road where
hate death and destruction lurk
ever ready to clutch those who by
chance or desire follow its wind-
ing trails They know it can only
take away the happiness peace
and contentment of the world and
leave in its place death crushed
dresms and fear planted In eyes
once gay and carefree
Yet while the rumble still lings
jut from this cryt WAR In the
background there rises the faint
hope that one day this terrifying
word will be banished from the
lips of all mankind and In Its
ploca shall be prosperity happiness
pad peace
