/ believe in these schools where boys

his throne and went off to learn how to
build ship, and he learned from stem
to stern, from hull to mast. and that
was the beginning of his greatness. ]
know young man who was poor and
smart and friend sent him to one of
these schools up North and he stayed
two years and came back as mining
engineer and bridge builder and last
year he planned and built cotton fac
tory and is getting large salary. How
many college boys are there in Georgia
who can tell what kind of native timber
will bear the heaviest burdens or why
YOU take white oak for one part of a
wagon and ash for another, or what
timber will last longest under water and
what out of the water. How many
know sand stone from lime stone or iron
from manganese How many know
how to cut a rafter or brace without
patternp How many know which
turns the fastest the top of the wheel or
the bottom rs the wagon moves along
the groundP How many know how
steel is made, and how q snake can
climb u treep
How many know that horse gets up
before and q COW gets up behind, and
the COW eats grass from her and the
horse eats to himp How many know
that surveyors mark upon tree new
err gets any higher from the ground,
or what tree bears fruit without bloomP
There is q power of comfort in knowl-
edge, but a boy is not going to get it
unless hewants it and wants IL bad, and
that Is the trouble with most college
boys, they don't want it. They are too
busy and haven't got time. There is
more hope OF dull boy who wants
knowledge. than of a genius, for a gen.
ius generally knowsit all without study.
