R i. d. No. dear JUNIORS: On this
beautiful summer day come asking for
admittance into your happy band. l am
very much interested in education, ana,
as my native state has the compulsory
law, / shall take tor my subject Com
pulsory Education Education is the Gull
tiVation OF the moral Intenectual and
physical powers. Education generally
makes good citizens. Good citizens make
a good governments AS we all want d
good government we should have compul-
sorry education. Education makes any one
beuer-thal is, more sympathetic. kind
ana Ohhglng. 1t hts one Tor the duties
of life
The beauties of nature appeal to the
minds of the educated. They see beauty
in the trees, grass, howers-in everything.
An intelligent person is a benefit to the
government. Certain persons at different
times hold the life or death of our ma
ton in their hands If these persons
shQuld be tyrtnts. our nation must fan.
Persons who know the advantages of
education are willing to pay taxes to
help keep up the public schools. There
are some people who did not attend
school regularly when they should, and
now, when they are old and it, Is too
late. they wish they had.
People who do not appreciate an educa-
ton condemn the compulsory law but
dren to school and some time they will
be glad of it.
Books and clothing are given by tbs
government to those who can not buy for
themselves. Every one paws small
amount OF taxes in comparison to the ed
ucation which his children receive. If
compulsory education We're to last for a
half century. perhaps. at the end Of that
time there would be no need of the COM
pulsory law for when any one learns
the value OF an education he finds it
is hard to get along without It.
