"Thls. then is the gift of the children.
It is the tribute Of those who are look
ing forward with the bright anticipa-
tons of the future, from those whose
records are yet to BE- wrought out, to
him whose record is matter Of pride to
his countrymen and whose fame Is So
cure. 1t is the tribute OF possibilities to
achievement. You may well regard it,
sir, as n matter of special satisfaction
and wholesome pride to Be known and
honored by children. Their plaudlts
are sincere and unselHsh. And the fact
OF being known and honored by the
children of the land is in itself the high
est evidence of honorable fame. There
are few men great enough to be named
in a common school history. Brief in
