School Notes.

What an opportunity our schools
afford to the aspiring boy or giu. 1t
matters not how poor bis parents are
or how humble their social standing
may be, if he has the smhition aud
perseverance to work his way tlN9ugh
our public schools, he Will x q far
higher in the estimation of all people
whose opinions are worth considering,
than the Ignorant or vicious hoy who
was born in a swallow tail coat or with
a Golden spoon in his mouth. He has
a profession, for a large proportion ot
our graduates can and do teach. he
has a good mastery of English ana
elementary mathematics which VIII
enable him to enter upon a business
career creditably, or his diploma will
admit him to college or professional
or technical school if he wishes to con-
tmue his education. He has achieved
a definite steppiug-siOpe from which
he may launch Off creditably in great
variety of directions. Above all he Is
educated. He ranks with those that
have accomplished a definite course OF
study. He hes his diploma, which
above its educational significance,
shows that he has the grit and detirm'
ination to set about a task definitely
and accomplish it thoroughly. Nc
parent can give his boy or girl any
thing that will count more for thell
future success, than a complete course
in our public schools.
