TOMORROW In OUR
BUSY PALATKA.
How and What Will you
Make 1t? You Can De-
eide Now.

Let us reason together a little bit
about tomorrow in our town. You and
| won't be here. We have done what
we could 10 make the dreams of yeStcr-
day come true; we have built new
houses, paved some streets and helped
the library and encouraged the schools.
We have done what we could but our
day has run, almost 10 the twilight.
What about tomorrow?
What sort of boys and girls are going
10 take our places? Are they going
through the high school faithfully and
patiently 10 the time of graduation?
Are they planning not 10 stop there,
but TO go through some college? Do
they know that work is Joy? DO they
believe that ii is their duty TO oil the
worlds machinery and make things run
smoother? Are they loyal 10 our town?
Are they interested in the things that
will make themselves and our town
better?
Out in Colby, Kansas, the people ran
up against few questions like these,
and found the young folks were answer
ing NO." with all the lung power they
had. When they finished the high
school they thought that was enough.
Their parents were wcll-todo; there
was no immediate deStitution staring
them in the face if they loafed around
and had a good time. -Four young fel-
lows, in particular, were in a fair way OF
becoming worthless, shiftleSS hangers.
on. And many of the grown ups"
were getting little lax in personal am
bliOn and civic pride.
That season handful of the more en-
tcrpriSing citizens presented the town
with lyccum course through the inilu-
encc OF a huStling high school supcrln-
lendcnt The first number on the
course was a lecturer who had the gilt
for inspiring young people. He lcctured
on "Day Dreams" and the effect Dor
dered upon the miraculous. There was
a concert company later that played
good music. The week after the lee
ture, those four young fellows packed
their trunks and went off 10 college.
Shortly after the concert company lett,
two talented" girls who were wonder
fully fond of rag-timc, went away 10
study music. They have both given up
rag-timc; both o-day have classes and
teach music and one plays the pipe or
gan in church
The right word with right amount OF
sincerity, had been spoken 10 those boys
at just the right moment. The right
kind of music, with deep inspiration,
had been played 10 those girls at just
the right moment.
Colby now believes in the lyceum.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the Mctho-
dist church has booked fine lyccum
course for our town next winter
Wouldn't ii be a good idea for us all TO
20?

most thoroughly enjoyed excursions
ever to go out from this city.
