its compensation law administration

that is all. To be sui-e, it is the com
pletion of something — but it is no
more than a completion that opens a
door to something new.
Students think of it as a doorway
that opens l>efore them, not as one
that closes behind them. Listen to
their conversation at this season of
-the year. Do you hear them ask one
another, “What have you done in
school ?’’ or “What are-you going to
<k> next year?” Try listening to them
just once to .see what they say. It will
fthow you that they think a diploma
is simply a ticket fQj;^.a longer ride
or a bigger and much more fascinat
