once was for man to have more than
a common school education in order to
rise to the top of the ladder. 1t is moi
simply the learning obtained from the

Intellect. Success must be paid for in
advance. There is Il higher motive fol
education than that of making money.
1t is the duty of every boy to fit himself
for college. The country needs today
all round men.
