There is an adage: •‘Keep your fingers on the near things, and your eyes on the far things.” It is a poetic way of saying: Give your immediate attention to the task for | today, but do not overlook the dreams for tomorrow There are people who become too absorbed in today. They forget that change is the tow of life. As they blindly concentrate on today, they let yesterday overtake them. Then, in "their bewilderment, they lose themselves among others who also failed because they had no t.me for progress. There are other people who become too absorbed in tomorrow’. Thev have their eyes on the far things, all right, but they do not have their handS\on, anything. Continuously looking to the future, they ignore the necessity of todav. They keep on budding cathedrals with their imagination when they should start budding houses with their hands. For them H is always tomorrow: it is never today. In every field success demands that you keep your eyes and rotr mind open to what the future may bring and that wu work hard to day with what the present provides. In his instructions to a lifeboat crew, the captan of a doomed ship put it this way: “Don’t miss anything* new on the horuson. but keep rowing straight to the shore.”

"One charm of the slate to a boy with a leaning toward mischief was that he could judiciously rattle and squeak without laying himself open to tlie charge of willful disturbance. "The scratching ebuld be avoided by the use of soapstone pencils, which slid greasily and noiselessly over the surface. "In the later days of the slate era it became the custom to wrap the frame with colored felt, which muffled the noise attendant upon handling and at the same time added a decorative touch. Other adornments were customarily in tlie form of frames linked or carved with the initials of the owner or other distinctive ornamentation. “The ease with which tilings forbidden could be made to appear on a slate and then to disappear with a swipe or two was duly appreciated by the bad boy or girl, and it is to be feared that much time supposed to b? devoted to writing or arithmetic was really given to art of a questionable sort, such as caricatures of the unsuspecting teacher, for the benefit of desk mates or those pupils sitting back of the artist. "Such ventures can not be indulged in so safely with the pencil and paper of today, when the telltale ■ paper can not be so easily disposed of as by erasure with a damp rag. "Perhaps one reason the slate was banished was that it was ■ thought to be unsanitary. Along ; with it was supposed to go a moist ( speng' or cloth for erasures, but as a matter of fact, the sleeve was as often used, the mouth supplying the moisture, and it was no uncommon , thing for tlie tongue to serve as eraser. “When, in course of time, the sanitarians began warfare against common drinking cups and other Continued On Page 7, Sec. 1)
