DR. EDGAR FAHS SMITH
Ex-I'rovost of the University of Pennsylvania and connected with
that institution tor forty-four years as instructor and adviser,
Sends This Message Through the Public Ledger
to young men and women seeking a school to prepare for life's work.
J
The Public Ledger, through numerous channels, is striving
to assist all young people desirous of entering upon u college
career. Its aims are deserving of tho gratitude of every one
directly or indirectly affected.
To the boys and girls who rend the Public Ledger let me
say that such un opportunity is not to be lightly regarded, ahd
as the writer is familiar with college life and all that is embraced
therein, he ventures to express himself briefly on the subje'et.
Thero is not tho slightest doubt but that tho young man or
woman, coming out of a high school of first grade, possesses a
good foundation for tho work of life. In tho dnys when high
schools were in their infancy, or even before the'-' existed, thero
were many young men with, meager training who boldly entered
the schools of medicine, or law, or theology, or engaged in
business and succeeded. So successful wore thej that, not infre
quently, they were cited a?, examples of the uselessness of a
college course before entering upon the sciious duties of life.
Take as an example, fiom among the very distinguished men of
our city, Joseph Leidy, the cminrnt scientist, whose name was
favorably known to the greatest European savants beforo he had
attained the age of thirty. His knowledge in several of tho
sciences was astounding, yet ho himself advocated the broadest
fundamental training for all who intended entering upon the
career of physician or investigator ih medical science. Another
equally striking example was the late John G. Johnson famous
throughout this country as a most astute lawyer. It may bo
atlvnnced that these men were unusual and exceptions to the
geneinlity of the youth of the land who seek to go forward in the
professions and business.
Representatives might also be diawn fiom the financial and
industrial world, but all these no mntter in what lines they
succeeded were, in their youthful days, individuals of purpose,
possessing unconquerable determination and a genuine interest in
the work which claimed their attention.
Coming, then, to the real object of these lines, viz.: Shall
tho boy and girl graduate of the high school seek for further
learning by embarking on a college career? the writer would
answer: If they arc- alive to the fact that life Is a most serious
thing and that it behooves them to take advantage of every
opportunity to impiove themselves, then by all means go to
college.
Going to college means much and it means little. Today
there is such a vast field opened up to tho young collegian that
if he be in real earnest he must almost tremble in contemplation
of the great nnd glorious things which he will meet In literature,
in the economic, political and social sciences, in history, ancient
and modern, and in the histories of those lands andpcoplcs with
whom we have only recently been brought into closer relations;
think, too, of the natural and physical sciences, the problems of
engineering, architecture nnd art. The.collcge opens the doors to
these bioad fields nnd surely humanizes one in a most remnrkablo
way. It Is not only the fact that after graduation one is ready
to earn a livingj but in this collegiate training there come also
the power to think and n spiritual uplift which are better than
all else.
But all these grand opportunities will remain as a terra
incognita if the persons to whom they are presented prove unre
sponsive nnd indifferent, because of lack of earnest purposo and
because of devotion to nonessentials.
If those who look college-ward really mean to acquire that
for which the college stands, namely, education, then go to
college, even if the going means a snerifice, if the way through
college must be made by one's own individual efforts. Education
is desired. Get it. Pay the penalty. It is worth all tho effort
expended for it. But sad, indeed, Is the picture piesented by the
young collegian who gains admission by "aids," by "cribs,"'
advances by the nmc mo'hods from year to year, tnid passes
the finals in a similar dishonest way. Vastly betf would it
have been for him had he' turned away fiom collci'o doors and
given himself to the humdrum of life with 11 mental horizon fai
from that which every normal Individual should desive for himself.
As tho writer ponders on tho opportunities offered to young
Collegians of the present he is filled with real envy. Ho would
love to live over again his own college days. While he worked
hard then, ho would work harder now.
But don't think of college unless it is with an honest, sincero
purpose to profit from its opportunities.

OAK LANE couNWDCSCHOOL
-fcgSaaai gt,in -eg
is situated on a thirty-acre farm, on White Road, in Mont
gomery County, about a half mile beyond the city line,
Oak Lane, Philadelphia. It is available to all Philadelphia, -Germaritown
and Jenkintown, through auto bus service. 4
Pupils are brought to the tchool door and returned to their
homes.
THE BASEBALL TEAM
The chief purpose of the School is to educate fully, not
just prepare for college. Consequently, each student has a
richer course of studies and has the privilege of receiving
better and more modern methods of teaching than usually
prevail in a strictly college preparatory school.
A strong faculty in the Upper School gives special
attention to college preparation.
Study conditions are ideal. Open country, pure air
and quiet. Lower School includes Kindergarten. The
course of study in the Upper School recognizes the adoles
cent and pre-adolescent characteristics of boys and girls, of
twelve or thirteen and adapts itself tp them. Although
requiring of all pupils the minimum essentials of common'
citizenship, it also provides for individual differences by
offering some choice in the subjects to be studied.
TWO OF THE SCHOOL BUSSES
which call for and return children to their homes
There are a few vacancies in the Upper School for
which immediate application should be made.
