cess. He spoke of the many sacrifices
OF fathers and mothers who are will

order that their children may have
good chance and also spoke OF the
many efforts and sacrifices by parents
which were wasted by the unwilling
ness and failure OF the children to
apply themselves properly. In con-
clusion. he stated that nearly every

education which. no matter how small.
can be converted into more than a
common every day education. Bach
