I am one of those very for
tunate people who have loved
my job. teaching, for I think it is
•one of the most important in this
world. I believe that we must
understand, in order to live
richly within ourselves — and
usefulh to others. I am con
vinced that misunderstanding
and suspicion come from igno
rance and 1 have faith that most
young people are eager to learn
and very discriminating as to the
■values for them of what one has
to t aeh. I think we must all
learn early to distinguish be
tween pleasures and happiness
and that happiness is the by
product of service. The key
phrase in the Bible, to my mind,
is “He that loseth his lit. shall
find it.’' I have never been inter
ested in Theology, but the teach
ings of Christ seem to me basic
to good living. I suppose 1 do
just what most people do. clothe
him with all the finest traits
which I have discovered in
people I have known and then,
when I am puzzled, I think
“What would Christ do under
these circumstances?”
I believe strongly that we can
never build Happiness on the
misery of other people, that the
time is past when we can be con
tent with relieving the misery
in that world. That we must
now focus our most constructive
thinking and energy on eliminat
ing its causes. The growth of this
viewpoint seems to me the most
encouraging development in a
troubled world. Friendships are
very important to me for I be
lieve strongly that human rela
tions should be an inspiration to
creativi iivmg. I am sure that,
by and large, if 1 tiv.si people,
they will live up to my trust. I
never look for trouble until it is
thrust in my lace. I also beli< s

feel that that is the u st way in
the world to get the summation
of my ambitions.
1 think we are responsible for
consciously training ourselves to
so make comparison betwe en our
own situation and that oi' other
people that we avoid sell pity.
Suspicion and self pity seem to
me two of the most corroding
characteristics which one can
have and 1 must be constantly on
the alert to prevent them from
getting a foothold in my t link
ing.
1 b lieve that growing old
should be a rich summation of
experience, not a decay, that,
generally speaking, we make of
our old aye a heaven or a hell
and can look for no greater re
wards or punishment in any fu

Protestant, I believe in the Cath
