Now let me say, every boy that wants an edu-
cation if he will bend his force to it, can get
just as good one as he wants-the way is

mics, and colleges, and semlnarles; these are
comnaring, and all schools, and colleges, and
seminaries in the world will not make scholar
of a man without these, and with them man
will be one if he never sees college and what
is true of boys is true of girls and what is true
of this pursuit is true of any other, the force
must be from yourself and you must develop

man astride the world.
