Dear PierrepOnt-Yourm ma got back
safe this morning. and she wants me
to be sure to tell you not to overstudy.
and l want to tell you to be sure not
to understudy. What we're really
sending you 10 Harvard for is to get
little of the education that's SO good
and plenty there. When it's passed
around, you don't want to be bashful.
but reach right out and take big
helping every time. for l want you to
get your share. You'll find that edu-
cations about the only thing lying
around loose in this world and that it's
about the only thing fellow can have
as much of as he's willing to haul
away. Everything else is screwed
down tight and the screwdriver lost.
I'm anxious that you should be n
good scholar, but I'm more anxious
that you should be a good, clean man.
And if you graduate with sound coli
science shan't care so much If there
are few holes in your LatiH There
are two parts Of college education
the part that you get in the schoolroom
from the professors and the part tina.
you get outside of it from the boys.
That's the really important part, for
the first can only make you scholar.
while the second can make you man,
Education is good deal like eating
"a fellow can't always tell which par
ticuar thing did him good. but he car
usually tell which one did him harm.
After a square meal of roast beef and
vegetables and mince pie and water
melon you can't say Just which ingre-
dent is going into muscle. but yo,
don't have to be very bright to figure
out which one started the demand fol
pain killer in your insides or to guess
next morning which one made you be
lieve in personal devil the night be
fore. And so while fellow can't fig
ure out to an ounce whether it's Latin
or algebra or history or what among
the solids that is building him up il
this place or that. he can go righ;
along feeding them in and betting
that they're not the things that turn
his tongue fuzzy.
Does college education pay? Does
it pay to feed III pork trimmings at :
cents n pound at the hopper and draw
out nice, cunning little country sau.
sages at 20 cents pound at the Other
end? Does it pay to take steer that ;
been running loose on the range ano
living on cactus and petri1ied wood
till he's just bunch of barbed wiz,
and sole leather and feed him corn til.
he's Just u solid hunk OF porterhouSe
steak and oleO oil?
You bet it pays. Anything extra that
trains II boy to think and to thin
quick pays. Anything that teaches .
boy to get the answer before the other
fellow gets through biting the pencil
pays.

velops them. 1t doesn't make bright
