The school system o. Hallowell would

Rev. n. L. Nichols.

Rev. II. L.. Nichols WAS tho last
speaker His subject was: Our Youth
as an Asset in Our Citys Prosperity.

The system of Southern slavery

CARDS the merest child as material.
out of which dollars arc coined Our
courts OF law. sometimes attach value
to life DESTROYED by preventable care
lessness. But the average community
gives little thought that its develop
ing Young life is it's most valuable as
set. The conservation OF ouI natural
resources so called, is not in il with
the conservation of our youth. our
city of tomorrow is determined by
the character OF the youth of today.
What profit to the city, If 1t spends
effort and money in the child's edu-
cation and protection, and then the
child proves an inefficient and worth

prod activeness. of necessity. he moves
away To contribute the years of prac-
teal value to build up some other
Safe er city.
't'Ihe function of a Board of Trade
is to secure and foster industries that
viii give opportunity and scope for
its maturing Young life at home.
AS an asset for future prosperity,
the youth should be given careful con-
sideration
The physical we'll being is most
important Health mpairing agencies

lie Fairgrounds, athletic sports. the

tivities should be provided and fos-
tered as extensively as possible. The
intellectual development should be
stimulated by public school, library.
and reading room that the coming
generation may give TO the city that
intellectual strength and culture es-
sential to it's largest prosperity.
The moral and religious training
of the youth is an essential thing. In
dclent habits, Viciousness. intemper-
anee ,lnd social impurity are destruc-
tive to the best interests of city,
while industry, moral integrity and
virtuaus living. contribute greatly 10
its highest we'll being. Our youth. at

lance. bat character is best developed
on the positive or constructive side.
Provide suitable agencies by which

Womanhood are developed.
The churches OF our, city contrib

does as much for the moral welfare
and happiness of the city as the
