The warrant was issued upon the

Rachmba charges that Mr.. Tate drew

THE SCHOOLS OF THE LAND
Are Commencing To Open Their Gates
Education An Investment

At the very beginning of this the
scholastic year of 1901, the STU
dent, whether an attendant of school,
academy, college or university, should
realize that he is about to make an
investment more important than any
which he will ever be called upon to
make in after life.
He or she, as the case may be, is
offered and is about to accept the op-
portunity to acquire that which when
once obtained nothing in future
years but brain disorder or death can
destroy-an education, a mental
preparation, by means of which the
door can be opened to happiness, to
satisfaction, to honest wealth, to pre-
ferment and incalculable usefulness
to the world.
But all the educational institutions
of the land with their endowments,
their buildings, their instructors and
their perfect equipment cannot fulfill
their portion of the contract unless
the student fulfills his. No amount of
lecturing, no amount of teaching, can
force education into unreceptive
minds. The student must do his or her
best to absorb and apply that which is
presented; there must be cooperation,
appreciation, eagerness, application
and realization of personal obliga-
tion.
There is but one time the present.
Youth, health, ambition, opportu-
nifty and self-reliance can accomplish
anything, and wise is that scholar
who points the needle of his COM
pass towards the goal of high ideas
and begins today to steer by that
course.
The schools of the land are CON-
mencing to open their gates. In the
halls of learning there is an invita-
tion and a welcome to all who
have an earnest purpose, rooted
desire to fit themselves for useful
careers, and on those who enter
whether they pay by taxes or By
direct tuition-depends the amount
to be derived from their investment;
their future is in their own hands
and they alone can determine whether
it will be a failure or a success. -
