We are going to keep him there until you children are old enough to vote, and then know you will do your part towards that object ,3A fS's General F. s. Greeley spoke pleasant-.. Fly to the best scholars in each room of the school telling them that it is best after all for children or adults to do their best in whatever sphere they may find themselves. 2 The prayer was given by Rev.
