School opens on the second

This marks the date when you are
again to begin to store your minds
with that knowledge which is to
be an aid and support to you in a |
your underta kings in life, without
which your success will come to
you very slow ", as we'll as very
poorly. Just think what sorry
out you would make in this great
big world where educated brains
are covering each competitive field,
and are growing in demand every
day on account of the opening ul
Of new avenues of labor where skill
ed hands and fortified minds ar,
required. After.you get to be men
and women you don't want to have
to answer to a request to fill an I'M
port and responsible position, that
you are not capable on account o!
lack of a common school educa-
ton. Don't say now that you will
fit yourselves for success after
while, for if you are not ambitious
now, you are apt to have less ambi-
ton then. Right now is the ii nt
you're going to make up your mind
to do something There is no
promise to your future effort. All
the promise grows cut Of what you
do now. Every time you put of
making resolution the weaker
you become in vowing to yourself.
Remember, as you 90 along, the
successful road is not always the
easiest to travel, SO many times
your decision to travel a certain
direction to success will be con-
fronted by obstacles that will take
a strong determination to over
rule. 1t will be battle between
ease and industry between ambi-
ton and lethargy, To you it might
prove easier not to make an effort
to strengthen your mind for future
contingency; but if you yield to
the soft and inervating influence
of this coaking and foolish demand
now, you will find yourself unpre-

will find the good predominating,
1t isn't the condition Of the liver

they are frequently crowded down

never justified in speaking Of ones
