Boulder, Colo.-An action insuring
the expenditure of at least s11, 900 on
the scenic highway running north
from Boulder to Lyons was taken by
the county commissioners when they
voted to appropriate 50 of county mon
ey for every dollar raised by the citi-
zens of Boulder for the Improvement
Of the road
Boulder business men have already
contributed $3.7l0 for the purpose. and
the action of the commissioners means
that s7,42O will be added TO this
amount.
The funds which will be available
will make it possible for the commits
sioners to spend about 81 ,000 per mile
on the scenic highway Those in
charge of the work plan to make de-
tours rather than to go to the expense
of cutting down all the hills along the
route.
1t is believed that by skillful ar
rangement OF detours a grade of not
more than 6 or per cent can. be OBJ
tanned, while at the same time the
road will be greatly beautified.

DR.. Fairbanks. Prin. Benedict then
said he felt they were at the thresh-
old of a newly opened door and they
needed someone to point the way to
them and presented Rev. G. A. Mar
tin.
Mr.. Martin said he wished to speak
about what l Would Do If / Were
a Student Again" He believed the
great mass of students before him
were in school because they appreci-
ated the value of an education, that
they were seeking an education be-
cause it could do something for them
nothing else could do. Education
broadens our vision of life and in
creases our ability to analyEe the
conditions of the life we live. 1t
makes our hands more adept, our
vision and hearing keener in the
conditions in which we find our
selves. Education makes us more
Independent and because education
does all these things for US it is of
great usefulness and value.
He said he would try to be good
student. Everyone should enter up
on their studies with the same spirit
they enter athletics. There should
be the pride of victory in each days
lessons the same as there is in each
athletic contest. He would be a good
mixer and get in touch with his
fellow students. Edward Everett
Hale laid down three ruels: Get out
into Gods open, commune with his
fellow men and associate himself
with those who knew more than
himself. He would take live inter
est in athletics as they are a neces-
sary part of school life and he would
identify himself with some branch
of athletic work. He would active
'ly identify himself with some form
of religious work in school because
it would help develop his character.
Good character is the most valuable
possession a person can have as
nothing so develops good character
as the Christian religion. A mans
or women's worth is very largely de-
termined by their character.
Miss Brownell sang and DR.. Bene-
dict said there came to him a re-
markable thrill at the opening of an
other school year to think that he
and the students were connected
with such a tremendous movement.
Today there are 100000 boys and
girls either starting into or prepar-
ing to take up the school work Of
the year and we are part of that
vast throng. The best form of ma
tiona1 preparedness is the proper
preparation of the school children Of
the country to become worthy citi-
zens. He defined a worthy citizen
as one with an unblemished char
acter, who can support himself and
contribute something to the common
good.
