By Donna. Lynne: Johnstone
From birth to death man . is
occupied with an innate desire to
conquer the world of knowledge.
From, his first breath to his last
he is constantly striving . to attain
this goal. '• ,

of knowledge has narrow bounds:
If consists • :of ., himself, his family

gued with, hisown 'being Then by,
investigating. in cupboards, .climb
ing 'oyer furniture : and .'asking num-
erous, questions,, he begins , to gain'
a more completefamiliarity with
his surroundings. •
But : just when 'he. :has reached
this' level, he is suddenly thrown
into . anentirely new situation
school. Here, the child meets tea-
chers and other children. ° One of
the first. lessons ' is learning to get
along withothers and respect • their.
rights. .
Once he. has mastered the fun-
damentals .of reading and writing,
he realizes the vast, area. of knew -
ledge which is contained - in ;books;
School 'tests, library books, "mag-
azines.

all within ' his grasp. ' As soon . as.
he learns to manipulate numbers,'
he can solve those many ' arith-

iously . had - .found impossible:
As ' he progresses from: `grade•
to grade through` elementary
school, the, laws . of nature and
the' wonders of the `world about.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
• In ' .this •.day of "hero-worship,"
it is disturbing, to' me to see
someone,. defending. -this obvious
lack ' of maturity 'which is ' all too
prevalent .in. our. modern society.
(Letters to. the •Editor, Lucknow,
Sentinel, ;5-6-64). In the first place,
athletes and entertainers are val-
uable to . our wprid • only as an
outlet fors or diversion from, our
everyday . nervous •' ,tension. We
should not allow ourselves to be-
come preoccupied with their activi
ties, in or out of the . "public's
eye, When the: shlaries paid :pro-
ffessional athletes and entertainers,
are -so excessive- lir- proportion to'
what : they do for the 'welfare, and
advancement 'of mankind, I .hardly
think: they need further, tributes
in the 'forth of, extensive printed
praise. In my opinion, if the 'ed-
ucators, scientists, 'and medical.`
men of our world .were, given
more published recognition, the
moral and' intellectual attitudes
o& our• present ,.generation would
show a remarkable improyenlent.
Respectfully, ..
:Ned Martin'
