such ideas in your heads noW and l hope that you will not for an instant fatter yourselves that we and thls audience gaze and wonder at the tre- mendous amount of knowledge Wh1ch won as our Grammar school graduates carry within your heads and hearts. Don't, however, for one instant 1m- agine that I would belittle or minimize the amount of knowledge which you really have acquired, but at the same time you must remember that the ac- oufrement of knowledge, in the correct accertation of the word, will exact much effort from you before you can saw truthfully that you have in your possession. even approximately, all those qualifications that really and substantially constitute learning, knowledge and education.
 You possibly recall in the course ot your studies, reading about the little town of Pieria in N. Thessaly, which was reputed to be the home of the muses. Literary geniuses focked to this little town for inspiration, particularly
New Britain herald., 1916-06-23

the poetic geniuses. Some of them came away with the notion that the muses had been very generous with them, notion or conviction which their productions later on did not seem to justify, so much so that one writer speaking of their shortcom- ings, said a whole lot, so to speak, when he said, Drink deep, or touch not at all the Pierian spring, for a lit tie learning is a dangerous thing.
 Again I say, don't think for moment that I would belittle your present amount of knowledge, but I simply wish to say that you as well as I have many things yet to learn, and simply wish to impress upon your minds that the vista of learning at the present time is simply opening up its attractions and that it will take much time labor and effort on your part be- fore you are enveloped within its folds.
 "I remember when I was about your age seeing in a book of rhetoric compiled by an author named Quackenboss, the statement that, Man was distinguished from the animal by the possession of reason That statement seemed all right 3S far as it went, but I thought it did not go far enough, I thought he should have said that man is distinguished from the animal not only by the possessiop of reason, but by the possession of a mind and a soul which has been des- tined by Almighty God to endure for ever.
 Animals as you know can be trained to do extraordinary things, and this is due to great amount of time and training that are devoted to the accomplishment of those pur- poses. Now if animals with only their instincts to help them can learn so much through persistent effort, who can measure the possibilities of learn ing in the human intelligence, pro-
