class room he thinks of them merely
as part of the natural surroundings.
His people have always had fixed
purpose ahead to which they struggled
with every atom of strength. His
father has brought up a large family.
and has had to work early and late to
keep the family clothed and fed. His
moth has always had an intense de-
sire to learn. but a, she received little
education while young. and has little
time to read now. her desires are kept
smoudcring. But she has by her en-
thu>iaIm burned into the minds of her
children the ambition to become well
educated men
The grind used to walk several miles

After graduating. he taught school for
two years and saved every cent posi-

While there he has done his utmost to

and thus fulfil the ambitions of his

is perfection in learning of lessons.

lip call him grind But this proof of
his ability brings a passing gleam OF
happiness to the tired features OF the
grind.
He has never had an easy time and
does not know that he could enjoy life
more by going to dances and shows.
He does not know the joys OF letting
the lessons 90 until the examinations
draw near. and then examining every
thing possible. His chief recreation IA
football where he sees men struggling
to win.
Here's to the grind; unpopular. I'M
lovable. but who does what he thinks
