EDITORIAL 



We hope that you read the editorial in last Saturday's Junior 

 Call and that you have done BEST things mostly since then. Have you 

 been thinking and preparing to enter the sweet pea contest? Here is a 

 chance to be best, or one of the best, in growing this plant. We want 

 you to grow the best sweet peas, but do not forget that we are more 

 interested in you and the way you grow the peas than in the plants 

 themselves. You must prepare the soil, plant the seeds and take care 

 of the plants yourself. In the spring your sweet peas should hold up 

 their heads, look you straight in the eyes and say, "We were raised 

 squarely, according to the rules governing the contest; we stand for hon- 

 esty and we deserve the prize." Look at a boy's work in the manual 

 training shop or at a girl's problem in sewing, and much is told of their 

 character and of the kind of man and woman the workers will make. 

 So the sweet peas you grow and enter in this contest will speak of your 

 character. Be sure that they speak of conscientious' work alone.
