mothers have done for us. They laid the foundation of all the great cities, paved the streets, built the railroads, public high ways, and dug the canals. They built the churches and schools, and have provided us with com fortable homes, food and cloth- ing, that we may enjoy these blessings and receive an educa- tion. There is no country whose history bears more examples of men who, by arduous toll and persevering research, gained honorable niches in the temple of science and in the love and admiration of the world; so no country affords so many golden opportunities as does our own for the boys and girls of our present age to make great and good men and women. So let us accept the opportunities that of fer themselves to us and make the most of our lives, that we may prove our appreciation for the many things that have been done for us, and try to do all the good we can.
