those VINO complain OF the expenditure necessary for
the construction and support OF schools where Lessons

liberty and lofty public virtue taught
Every school house IL an enemy of anarchy and
calisin Money given in support of hospitals is gift
OF mercy, put money given IN support OF school is
blessing traceabie among the records OF the com
mupty throughout all time. Money yields its richest
returns when expended in smoothing the pathway Of

provisions made for the education of young men
and women.
l believe successful career possible TO all who
strive, but those who are possessed of liberal educa
ton are far better equipped for the struggle, and
there is little excuse in this day and age OF the worlds
history, and in this land where liberty is enthroned
and tuition Is free, for not having at least
| able education. Not a monk like education with
light hidden under a bushcl, or behind cloister
wall but one that shines forth and assists not only
IN the business relations of life but in fulfilling the
reciprocal duties of friendly intercourse. An educa-
ton that assists us IN being manly men and womaiy
women, and the browning of home life with wis.
doms enduring wreath An education that will
able us TO so live that when overtakes may
enjoy that happy reflection consequent a web
spent life, and die in the hope of a glorious mmor-
tality."
young man startiug IN life without education
| is like ship at without rudder. II may make
successful landing, but the chances overwhem-
| ingly against it
An ordinary education scarcely equips for the
battle of life. In this day and age it should be sup
pemented by practical and scientific training along
the lines Of our chosen vocatons and no young man
or woman should lose sight of that fact. Competi-
ton is the law Of our age and without liberal train
ing we are lily prepared for the race Education is
necessary nations greatness as we'll as indiyd-
uals.
The first spot that darkened the sun of Athens
greatness was the closing OF fiatos academy I'M
agine the efforts of nation to prosper with acado
mics closed and mothers uneducated. Thank heaven
the women OF our day have been enancipatad from
the crushing slavery Of Ignorance and by education
Is bttea Tor heids which need her labors and the
world Is the richer for her skill and fidelity and the
better Tor her independence The free schools Of
America nave done much to enoble and dignity
molnahhoou, anu gwen her an opportunity 10 make
her way among the Industries OF the age.
| Inc Tree Schools OF America know no creed or ma
uohahty; Those VINO worship in any foim and under
any symbol all are welcome, and that makes educa
ton national necessity. 1t takes time for those
coming TO us from tyrannical governments to fully
absorb the principles OF American liberty, but Their
| children can be SO firmly grounded in its truths
through the avenues of our schools that they will be-
come brave and patriotic citizens
Education and Prosperity, Education and Morals
