he lp to make the trip memorable one
to these little men. Meroh ohapts are re-
crested to decorate their places OF bus1-
ness and to otherwise join in the spirit OF
the occasion. Besides giving the visitors
the time OF their lives it behooves Cor
vaIlieites to make the visit one of pleas
ure, because every boy who comes and
goes will advertise our city for good or
i'll, according to the impression he gains
o. it while here; and furthermore, seed
sown now may bear fruit later on by
bringing back to OAC as students many
of these little lads who are at present not
ready for college life. Gould We but
realize that these youths are the men OF
the coming years it would not be neces-
sary to urge it upon the people to step
aside from the regular path to BID them
| welcome.
