JANUARY 4, 1924 Separate the Grades. Enforce the Traffic Laws. Build the Truck Road. LOOK FORWARD. Robert Browning, in his poem called "Epilogue," urges himself and his readers to look forward to "meet the unseen with a cheer." It is a poem most appro- priate for a new year's reading, emphasizing, as it does, the value of a courageous facing of the de- mands of life as they are present- ing themselves at the threshold bf the new year. Look forward! Failures and Successes are coming. We can be pretty certain of that. But the important question is, How tan we increase both the quan- tity and quality of these successes nd decrease the quantity and uality of these failures? Here s one way to do it. Reflect on the experiences of the past. Flunk of one failure. What caused this failure? Careless- Bess? Haste? Ignorance? Find the cause. Eliminate it. When # similar situation arises in the Coming year make sure that this pause is eliminated. i Think of the numberless in- stances of seeming failures that nave been transformed1 into suc- cesses. By irrigation, deserts have been made into gardens, apparently impassable NEW TRIER ALUMNI To what individuals shall a school look for encouragement, advice, and co-operation if not to its alumni? The alumni of a school have, as a rule, been members of the school for four years. They know the school's difficulties, re- sources, failures, successes, op- portunities, and ideals. They have been in its halls and class- rooms long enough to become very well acquainted with all these phases of its jlife. They are, therefore, well equipped to attack the problems that confront their Alma Mater. New Trier with a graduate body of 2,000 has done well to establish a strong alumni as- sociation. Such an organization can exert a tremendous influence on the plans and activities of New Trier. It can go far towards making our high school what it can very well become-- the Best High School in the World! ENFORCING THE LAW Major Denman, in his raids on moonshine sellers, is enforcing the law. Every good citizen is grateful to him for so vigorously doing his duty*. Laws are made to be enforced. And what should more zealously be enforced than those found in our national con- stitution and its amendments? It may be of value to set down just here the first section of the famous 18th Amendment, rati- fied legally on January 16th, 1919. It reads as follows: "XVIII. Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article, the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited." Read this paragraph carefully, noting exactly the meaning of every word. You will then un- derstand just what it is that rivers'Major Denman is enforcing. Towards a Larger Understanding By 11. ASHLEY GERHARD „__. , (Rector. Christ Church, Winnetka) Misunderstood!" There are lives that have been wrecked upon the rocks indicated by that unhappy word. There afe careers, begun with great promise, that are today destroyed because some person, or some group of persons, either unknow- ingly or with malevolent intent, have fai'ed to understand. In- dustry is a battleground rather than the co-operative enterprise that Ood intends it to be. homes are centers of contention rather than havens of peace, communities are sending out jangling and jarring discords rather than joy-giving harmonies, nations are at war or are on the threshold of war--and more often than one likes to acknowledge the origin of the difficulty is to be sundin1" °f SimpIC' Unadorned' appreciative under- ,. °ne. of *« m.ore "agic aspects of all this is the fact that mmwm Oh, the rarity Of Christian charity Under the sun." mmm World War Veterans JOIN TODAY For the Disabled!
