5 ol " - a aa WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 11 GRADS ARETOLD OF THEIR DUTY Kindergarten College Class Hears Scherger Dr. George I. Scherger of Armour Institute, in addressing the mid-year graduating class of the National Kinder- garten and Elementary college last week, gave several valuable suggestions for everyone who has graduated--once or a dozen times. "Graduation," said Dr. Scherger, "simply means taking a step. It does not mean. that anything is finished or that you have reached the end. When anyone comes to the point where he has realized his ideals and thinks he has fin- ished something it is time to call the un- dertaker. The most glorious thing is any life is growth--continuous develop- ment. It seems that this thought of growth, of development, of evoluation, is in the air today and the great thing is not so much what you are as what you are growing to be. Unparalleled Age "We are living in an age without parallel in the history of the world," continued Dr. Scherger. "Our desire is for fullness of life. We like to do big things. Students in architecture are con- tent with nothing less than learning to build sky-scrapers, and even the criminal has to steal a million before he is given any sort of recognition, "In the turmoil and change of this age the hope of the future lies in our truly cultured classes. I believe in an aristo- cracy, not of blood or of wealth, but of true culture--of people who, by the training of their intellect and more par- ticularly by the training of their charac- ter, are qualified to go up and become leaders. We are constantly talking about democracy, but we certainly do not be- lieve in a democracy which regards one person as being as well qualified as an- other .for leadership. We believe in a democracy which raises up, not in one which levels down. The world cannot get along without this sort of leadership of people who, by the excellence of their gifts and the quality of their training arc qualified to lead the multitude. The multitude never got anywhere without leaders. Under Obligation "It is a wonderful call--that to this aristocracy of culture and of training for leadership, and it puts us under an obli- gation to live up to it. We are given the opportunities, but it is especially true of young Americans that we often for- get that we are constantly put under obligation to family, school, society, for the educations which we receive. What does your training mean? Not the abil- ity to speak on this or that abstruse sub- ject, not only a training of the body or a training of the mind, but a training of character as well; the harmonious de- velopment of every God-given faculty and power. If an education means anything it means training for life, and for a receptivity to all that is worth having. And above all things, education never gets to the point where we say 'It is finished' 7, Ford Plants Attract Thousands of Visitors The Highland Park plant of the Ford Motor company continues to be the big attraction for visitors in De- roit and they come from all over the world. Last year more than 122,000 people were escorted through the plant. Guides are always on hand to show visitors the interesting phases of Ford manufacture, for the company invites inspection not only of its great plants in Detroit, but also its assembly plants throughout the country. Sum- mer months bring the largest number of visitors and in 1924 August held the record at Highland Park with 30,640. Among the distinguished visitors last year was the Prince of Wales and the youngest of the notables was Jackie Coogan. Most every country was represented among the visitors. To_the average person the final as- sembly holds the most interest. See- ing a car grow in a few minutes from chassis to the finished article has the greatest appeal of all the interesting sights at the Highland Park plant. Next, the conveyor systems register strongest on the imagination, after which interest is divided among a number of major operations. Of Interest Only to Our Advertisers FULL PAGE ROLL OF HONOR "And, now, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to call your attention, to the wonderful, etc." That's all advertising is--"calling your attention" to something. Your mind, occupied with other things, is now called to notice something else. You've been thinking about motor cars, and you're asked to pay atten- tion to spring suits. The competition between demands was well worth calling attention to. We believe that our readers think so, too. Here is the Roll to Date Lake Co. Construction Co. ..........
