! Does education bring happiness ?"
| queried the speaker While education
is a thing not to be despised it does
not give happiness. High School
education is the right of every school
| school boy and girl today. He who
has not received a High School edu-
cation has missed much. America
gives free a fine education to every
child who is willing to take it, II is
not what boy or girl wants or does
not want, but what they have a right
to have and parents should make
| them take-an education.
| Reputation does not bring happi-
ness. II is a mere bubble, and means
nothing. Happiness is not in nature
We are interested in home ties, not
in human relation. The greatest
thing that makes for happiness is the
home-tie. the mothers love, the love
of father, sisters and brothers. these
constitute happiness. 1t is the one
wide, universal call TO all mankind
irrespective of nation or race. There
are three words, the sweetest, no.
