Get More Schooling.

'.Spea king to a few of you who are
not disposed to pursue your school
ing further, let me especially urge
YOU to reconsider if possible. Let
me say to you that In every vocation
which YOU can name, from the hum
iblest to the most exalted, you need
the training which higher educa-
ton will give you in order that you
NAV not enter your chosen field or
occupation handicapped by weak
and unframed mind. Some Of you
may harbor the lurking thought that
you are pretty smart as it is, ana
that you are about ready to measure
your wits with anything you are like
ly to run across, but to you let me
say that this feeling within you Is
the best. evidence in the world that
Won are in sad need of a higher edu-
cation. There are none with such
self-assurance as the ignorant and
unframed. They are alike incapable
of Judging the obstacles that will De
met and of the proper manner OF
overcoming them, and when they
meet these unexpected obstacles,
and when they fail to surmount them
because of want OF proper training
and knowledge of methods, then they
find too late in life that they have
lost the golden opportunity that a
better education and higher training
would have given them.

Equity has made Il demand that bills
over 81 should be taxed at 3 per cent
for the second dollar and 3 per cent,
for the amount over. which would add
n further complication. A restaurant bill
tax was imposed in Rumanla in 1915 and
