The story is told of class OF twelve
men graduating from college, that all of
the twelve entered into solemn compact
to praise his classmates on every possible
occasion. The agreement was that when
ever an opportunity presented itself to say
anything about one of the twelve, the man
to whom the opportunity was presented
must utilize it in praising the one under
discussion.
II was faithfully adhered to by every
one of the twelve. As time passed the
men separated, each taking up the path
that fate and providence marked out for
him, but no matter where he was, he never
forgot the compact entered into with his
college mates As a result, every man
found it easy to make his way. Time and
again he heard with pleasure that some
stroke IF luck. some desired advancement
was due, directly or indirectly, to a word
spoken at the right time, in the right way.
by one of the twelve. Every one of the
original twelve reaped the advantages of
the plan.
What is true of individuals is also true
of cities. Suppose that every man in this
place were to constitute himselfa committee
of one 10 advance Woodbury's interests.
Suppose that he made it rule to let no
day pass without trying to impress upon at
least one man of his acquaintance, the adj
vantages of Woodbury. as a place of
residence, as a site for manufactures, as
place for investment. Who can compute
the good that would result from such
systematic and preserving effort to help the
town The good that would be achieved
would be simply incalcuable
Woodbury. is not perfect town. Per-
lection is not found in anything human
Bot it is a first class town. 1t has many
advantages that make it a far more desir-
able place than most cities of its size. 1t
needs no stretching OF truth, no strain
ing of the Imagination to discover points
that might honestly recommend the town
10 the prospec i've resident or the possible
investor 1t has much to offer, and if its
own citizens would only help it along
instead of holding it back at every oppor-
tunity, its increasing prosperity would
increase its advantages and enhance its
attractions
