We often hear mon say in ex- cUse for their ignorance that they never had. a chance.' Now the majority of men who have become noted, made the chance for them selves. Where there's a will there's way, you know and the boy who determines to be some thing and does not lose heart in the struggle, generally accomplishes his end. One may have a great many wise and ambitious thoughts but if not followed up with perser- vere~ee and industry, he Wll nev- CT amount to much. A thing must be wholly done and well done, if one would have fame and prosperity. Education is the great preparation, the material in life's success.
The Huttig news., 1907-11-09
The true solution of the marri-
success

The true solution of the marri- d siF i've tesst the homes more than with the leg islatures. It is more.a matter for education and training than of leg islation. The girl whose eaily education has been gained on the street, whose selfis''ness has been yratified at the expense of her par ants and whose preparation for marriage has lacked an acquaint- ance with the common duties of the homekeeper- is a standing candidate for the divorce court. The you E man wlo has growl up without responsibility, who has wasted his youth and pawae1 his manhood to idle and dissolute hab- it's is another. The ministers who are asking the state to prevent di- vorce and repress marriage have their responsibility in these cases, many of whom have been of their flock and under their spiritual su- pervlsion, The parents are most ly responsible for the negligence and mistaken kindness that units children for the duties of life. Good fathers usually train good husbands and good mothers usual ly produce good wives. Like pro- nibiton, the question of marriage and divorce seems to rest more lpon the early training of the in iividual than with the law. Edu-
 cate not legislate, is the motto for the reformer.
