Letters To Mimi
From Her Dad
Dear Ml in I:
Graduation In close at hand for
many students of various grades all
over the country. This event mark*
a critical time In each of their livos.
I can call back a few years, in my
imagination, when I went through th?
ordeal of graduation. Just the other
day I was looking up my various diplomas
to have Mr. Hoffer frame them.
Vivid pictures of both the physical
aspects of the exercises and those
present, as well as my mental attitudes
at those moments, came to
mind.
Even with a prep school diploma
I felt that 1 had reached the acme of
perfection, that 1 had mastered the
science and letters, that I was standliut
on the threshold of the universe, I
'*aady to whip the world. Most of us
felt that we had something to offer
civilization, that we would take a
people out of the darkness of ignorance
and transplant them into the
light of a new ox Is tanttt! through the
great ideas and iddals we thought were,
original with us.
Hut as time passed most of us
learned that there was nothing new)
under the sun; that, after all, we
didn't know so terribly much. Life
was somewhat of a disappointment to
those of us who were going out with
the avoued purpose of remodeling aud
rebuilding the world to conform to
our standards. Looking back now we
see how foolish some of these standards
were and how impractical were
some of our elaborate plans. Hard
knocks and costly experiences taught
us that great changes, and especially
social changes, come gradually and
not like a thunderbolt out of a clear
sky. With a background of goometry,
\ logic and ethics as well as a smattering
of philosophy few of us were
capable of competent reasoning. And
that's the greatest science of life?
being able to put several apparently
unrelated facts together and drawing
from that a logical, reasonable conclusion.
Going over the roster of schoolmates
in my mind I find that most of
them are not doing the thing they
set out to do. One lad who was going
to give the world a coordinated system
of transportation is now running
a chain of restaurants. Another, who
was looked upon as the most likely to
succeed is a dismal failure and spends
a large part of his time in institutions
for the treatment of alcoholics. I
could go on down the line and mention
caBe after case?few of them persuing
the profession or business they had
chosen in school.
My ambition was to be a great
criminal lawyer; to personally see
that justice was meted out in the
courts of our land; to stand before
juries and in a flood of honest emotion
and powerful persuasion free
from the clutches of the law those
who were poor and helpless, to champion
the cause of widows and orphans
and to represent the masses of toiling
people in the assemblies of government.
While I didn't continue in law, I
don't regret a day I spent in the study
of that subject or in the temples of
justice. While still a student of law
I saw in the great Fourth Estate a
place I thought I could best and most
adequately serve humankind. Then,
a jump from the excitement of legal
affairs to the greater excitement of a
metropolitan newspaper. I had learned
that newspapers were greater factors
in establishing justice <?for all than
were even our courts.
And so you see. most of us drift into
the things to which we are best
suited? Graduation and education
mean a great deal to us. Hut in the
final analysis the great school of life
and experience molds us into reasonable.
practical workers. Education
enables us io assemble material and
digest the facts; it teaches us how to
think logically. It takes age and experience
to mellow the theories of
youth.
Love,
Your Dad.
P. S I hope every day that you
will develop some great ideal early in
Hfe_and make every day count toward
