side the Bonnie Brier Bush who
had an unerring scent for "pairts" In
his laddies, and who held that ilka
scholar Is something added to the
commonwealth, The speaker pleaded
with parents to give their children the
opportunity to secure an education
which would enable them to get on in
the world and lit themselves for good
and useful citizens, TO do this he
knew oftentimes meant sacrifices which
could only be justified by the end

be satisfied with anything less than "

audience. They came from the heart
OF one who has done and Is doing
good work In the educational line.
