What Diligence and Perseverance Can Do
Among many other noble deeds which keen
alive the name of that good man. the late Amos
Kendall, was an endowment of the Columbian
College, at Washington, ID. c. To the endow-

student should be admitted annually who WAS To
receive tuition free of charge. This free scholar

honor and to him was awarded the scholarship.
He accordingly was admitted 10 the Prepare

the assistance of his now widowed mother by
delivering paper route both morning and eve

two years course In one year.

the diligence and indomitable spirit he exhibited
m earlier years may be seen by an extract from
letter which he wrote us few days ago:
