community.
Difficulties and Dangers.
I'VE cannot shut our eyes to the diff
culties and dangers we all know they
must meet. and which excite our fears.
But just because of what they have
come to be in our schools. we have good
hope that they will go bravely and nobly
through. They will need the ideals.
they will need the inspiration. they will

citizens. living honorable and useful
lives, under the blessing of God. which
