. I'm hand. These three institutions are
the pillars OF the nation"
Mr. Parks then spoke Of the tend
ency OF the young people to leave
their country homes for the city. He
gave as the reason for this. the fact
! that the country home life in many

men ana women. Build up the inter-
est in the school and the church, and
YOU can keep the young people ai

decline, because when the young peo-
pie get to a certain age. they want o
! higher education than they can get
in the country schools, so they go

of women for higher education, say
ing that many people have the idea
