we would like to nave than to prop
erly preparing ourselves to earn the
means whereby we may get it. We
think far more Of consuming than pro-
ducing. We mos. change our plan Of
action, our point of view, and try
to become race of producers as well
as consumers. TO do this, then, along
with the development Of the mind
must go the training OF the hand.
The college-bred man must often
sit and wait for something to turn
up some opening to be made, some
position to be offered him. The man
with a trade does not wait for some
thing to turn up but turns up some
thing himself, and that, too, quickly.
He is the most Independent being
upon the face of the globe. He waits
for no man, he cringes to no man, and
even dictates to men of wealth and
power. Like the village blacksmith,
he looks the whole world in the face
for he owes not any man. North,
south. east or west, he is able to stand
in his own shoes and curry favor with
nobody.
Realizing all this, how important,
then, is it that the principles of prac-
teal training for which this institute
stands should be appreciated and
maintained"
