have gotten along tolerably well in
the world with limited education,
they imagine their sons and daugh-
tiers will be able to do likewise
but the law of human progress re-
quires that our SONS and daughters,
in order to have equal opportuni-
ties with us, must have an educa.
ton superior to ours. Lack of a
good education in this day means
lack of opportunity to make of life
a success. Parents who don't
make the best possible effort in
this direction for their children,
handicap them for life and rob
them of the heritage due them, and
society of their usefulness. You
cannot afford to neglect opportun-
tiles so richly offered to you free
at the hands of the State in this
school.
But many parents have regard
for only their sons education,
thinking that somehow their
daughters will get along without it.
Don't be misled in this particular.
Our girls in order to make them
attractive and independent need
education and its refining influences
just as much as our boys. This is
really a voman's age, and girls have
to have the very best that schools
can give them in order to take
their proper place in society. The
girl of to-day must know how to
do things-how to support herself
if need be and how to run a house
hold successfully. This ability
liberal education alone can give
her. Many young women have
already laid the foundation of ca
reers of usefulness here and made
themselves self-supporting. Your
daughters can do likewise. If you
do your duty by them, you will
give them the opportunity: you
will send them here to school.

The President. Message.

In point OF the number and charac-
ter of Its recommendations, President
Roosevelts message to the second ses-
sion of the Fifty-nlnth Congress is the
most ambitious state paper OF his
career.
He has not hesitated, wherever he
deemed it expedient boldly to borrow
Democratic doctrine, and the kind Of
Democratic doctrine to which his party
has been and Is still opposed.
His views on limiting the hours Of
labor, on more stringent enforcement
of the employers liability act, Federal
control of corporations, a graduated
inheritance tax and graduated In
come tax are merely Temperatures, In
modified form, Of views held and
advocated by his political opponents
long before his own opinions were rec
ognized as important public utterances.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's suggestions regard
ing the tariff are not radical and do
not depart far from the attitude Of the
"stand-patters." He declares in favor
OF lower tariff or free trade with the
Philippines. but goes no farther.
The most striking features Of the
message, and the proposed measures
whose possible enactment would
arouse the most widespread discus
sion, have to do with the race prob
lem.
The President proposes to abolish
the lynching evil by making crimes
against women capital offenses.
He would avert what he seems to be-
lleve is an impending clash with Japan
