great mogul passenger engine that had
been brought to pull vestibule train that
was TO speed It's way from New York 20
New Orleans. When asked the engin-
eer to explain the difference between the
new engine and the old one that had been
laid aside. he said to me, while the great
machine stood there throbbing with power
like thing OF life, The engine that ! laid
aside yesterday, when doing its best, could
pun my train from Atlanta to Montgom-
cry at a speed Of thirty-five miles per
hour. This machine can pull the train.

make an average speed. If need be, of

has come to the machine. you may be sure

boy. If the world demands of
machine shops more powerful machines,
and machines that will economize time
and labor, we may be sure the world is
going to demand OF those who build the
boys and girls of this country that they
shall build them to become men and wo-
men who may have twice and thrice and
quadrupie, the power that men and wo-
men ever had before
"One other thought In this connection
Those who build these magnificent ma
chimes make no mistakes. Every piece

try could live a year that employed any
bat experts to fashion and shape every
part OF the machine. An expert is one
who Knows and he must know that he
Knows. The twentieth century will de-
mand of those who train the children, not
only that they know. but they too must
know that they know. The material in
the mind of a child is Infinitely more del
lcate than the finest steel bar ever made
by any Bessemer process. The new cen.
fury will say to the teacher. Take thou
this child and know him. Know thou
his soul. his mind and his body as the
expert machinist knows every part of
MS machine and the quality of all its
materials and the peculiar fitness for
use of all tools required for the compile

To change the figure and find an illus
tratlon from the laws of life, a few hun
dred miles from the spot where this meet
ing is held, millions of little beings are
constructing a reef on a Florida coast.
Men travel for thousands of miles
to find Inspiration and courage
from tn sc countless tolers of the hriny
deep who fringe our coasts with a struc-
ture that has excited the wonder Of the
ages The study of the coral polyp reveals
the truth that those who do the building
are on the front side OF the reef The
focd supply even for this little being com IS
from the billow THAI lashes the frontal
lire of the structure. The tiny being
feeds on the ministry Of the storm. The
very pillows, while they lash ard raee IN
their fury bring the food supply to the
tiny being that builds The coral reef, and
each little builder gathers himself into
the stony structure and YIELDS his being
into all that is below him, and dies.
mo one of these countless beings, how
ever many times it's life may touch the
life OF other beings, interferes with its
fellow 1t feeds upon its environment,
grows to its full estate, is ga thered unto its
fathers and becomes a Tart of a Derma-

coasts from the storms OF the equatorial
belt. But some OF these tiny toilers are
