from your manner Of living and dealing
with Others. You may buy the finest
works of art, but you can never purchase
the power to enjoy them For the HIGH.
est and best things in life there is no epui-
valent; they can be attained only low
living the higher life
Education gives man more things To
think upon and enjoy, increases the
range of his interest, enlarges the sphere
OF his activity. High thinking is better
than high living. Hence the energies of
a government are never better EMPLOYED
