by their days work. and can neither ENJOY nor
benefit by these opportunities 1t Is believed
by those of us in the Academy that this sacri-
flee Of gate money will come back to us in
loyal public support. AS all republican forms or
government depend on the high moral and intel

ance and well-being. so it is our duty, collective
y and individually to educate and elevate our
citizens believing that therein are contrib

sacrifice must be admitted. a sacrifice which can
only be compensated for by citizens who, fol-

art institutions. II one realizes that larger

claim for their maintenance.
