While that is the case. 1t Is vital for yourselves and vital for the country that you should train up the next gen. eration alright and so I am glad in deed to see the attention paid to your | schools: glad to pass by that college for girls, glad to pass by the public school children on the other side. T saw in one of the papers today the statement that they hoped I would go out of Texas thinking more of it.. do not know that that Is possible because I think so much of 1t already; but if could have thought more of it, would have thought more within

 When Mayor Bryant T. Barry of Dallas, finished his address of welcome and introduction, President Roosevelt la6dressed the immense gathering as follows:
 MT. Mayor and you. my fellow Americans-(Cheers. It has been in deed q pleasure for me to come today within the limits of your mighty and beautiful State. (Cheers.) This af- ternoon I have been passing through a veritable garden of the Lord, and u io uUly d.

And I was mighty glad to do it, (Yells.) for I think that we Amer jeans have learned the lesson that whatever is good for some of us is good for all. (Cheers.) And I can in a sense claim to be, by blood at least. a typical President. for I am half Southerner. half Northerner; was born In the East and I have a great deal of the West in my spirit. (Cheers.)
