this question: why are you in
this condition." and / feel that at
least seventy-five per cent would
answer: it is because they were al
ways asking for something to come
their way, and when it did, they
couldn't see it.
This is very clear, l feel. And
solae will state they weren't given
an opportunity to do something
worth while. That is not so.
That is also wrong. the chance and
the opportunity is always here,
but we do not always grasp it.
Now | say a person who is really
alert, must be observant. With
out that we can't see and realize
the great, grand and wonderful
opportunities strewn about us.
Why does the state of New Jersey
spend thousands of dollars each
year to maintain institutions of
this kind? Why, I ask? Well it

is done to give those who have
been neglectful in the outside
world an opportunity here, and I
wish to state at this time to you
young men, who have your whole
life before you, this: If you will
sit down by yourself and think
seriously for a brief time, a
realization will come to you that
there are wonderful opportunities
not only here but everywhere.
Please permit me to give you an
example. Take Gen. Grant.
When a boy, his whole aim, pur-
pose and desire was to be soldier.
He didn't know how he could get
the necessary training, and the
probability is, that bis parents
didn't know, either. So he worked
in his fathers tannery and did other
little odd jobs to keep his mind
occupied. But he never forgot
his aim, his purpose, his ambition,
his desire, and he said to himself,
We'll. some day the opportunity
will come, and when it does l will
grasp it, and make good" So. as
the account goes, his mother dis
covered one day that she didn't
have any butter. She in turn sent
little u. S. to a neighbor to bor-
row some butter. and while the
neighbor was preparing the butter,
little US. noticed letter on the
table and being inquisitive, as most
children are, he read it, and that
opened the way for him to become
a soldier. His desire, his ambition,
he attained. And that errand and
what he observed was, / feel, u S.
Grants opportunity. He grasped
it and became useful to his coun-
try.

Some people are always saying,
I want a chance" / want an op.
portunity to do something, but
when one gives them the chance,
or opportunity. they do not always
grasp it. l say there is an oppor-
tunity for everybody disregarding
their color, race or creed. Just so
he is alert to the wonderful and
surprising chances and opportuni-
ties that are always present. Op-
portunity knocks as our good mas
ter knocks. l saw beautiful
masterpiece once that pictured
Christ standing outside of the
house knocking at the door,
knocking for admittance, he could
not enter because the knob was on
the inside, and it was very evident
to me that the person inside would

have to let him in. ordinarily
speaking. And while l stood there
admiring the beautiful master
piece thought, SWELL isn't that
just the way opportunity knocks
and we have to let it in? Or we
refuse it admittance."
We can hear almost every min
ute of the day some one saying,
eff 1 only had an opportunity l
would do some wonderful things %
Well, young men, l want to say
to you and to all others that the
opportunity is always present, but
the difficult part of the matter is
that we can't always see it. Some
people say that opportunity only
knocks once, but / say, no, oppor-
tunity is always knocking. but we
won't always get out of bed to let
it in, that is the trouble.
Take for example this institution.
Here young men have wonderful
opportunities, yes, more than
young men in the outer world.
For what? Why for betterment,
right living, and for success in
your later years. But, as in every
thing else, you find a certain class
that seem to be Indifferent and
asleep, as it we're, ito the things that
are about them. The realization
will come some day and, so | say
to you, take advantage of every
opportunity that may come your
way.

netted twenty three extra bases
the skidoo number having no hoo
doc for them. Incidentally our
pastimers scored twenty-five runs.
The Schwietz team was out-classed
and the locals had things their own
way from the start. Indications
are that the NJ. S. P.'s have at last
rounded into form and will main
tain it. We trust there will be
no egotism on the team over
the recent run of victories because
this would gum things up inst
when they need a fine edge. Some

of sick have been made we'll. 1t
has transformed unhappy. envious,
discontented people into dominat-
ing personalities suffused with the
Joy of living. 1t has enabled peo-
pie who have sunk deep into the
grooves of a rut to pull themselves
out and become masters instead of
the blind tool of circumstances. 1t
has reawakened the ambition in
men and women, who have been
turned from their life's purpose,
and given them the confidence to

many failures into business sue

brain to the best advantage.
We all know what can be ac-
complished by exercising the brain;
our whole educational system is
founded on the theory the brain
can be developed in proportion to
the amount of intelligent exercise
and use to which it is put; to pull
ourselves up from the depths, as
it were, takes courage, which is
the foundation of civilization.
Civilization has dotted the spa.
cious seas, with almost numberless
ships, It has dotted our fair land
with cities, given us network of
railroads, removed mountains and
shut off the mighty waters of great
rivers to be used for irrigation
and to generate enormous electric
power, and is responsible for every
great invention that has ever been
